I’d like to see opera get their browser to use Javascript like most other browsers. Granted, it’s not remotely as bad as stupid Microsoft’s ridiculously terrible JScript, but there’s a few issues compared to JavaScriptCore (Webkit – Safari/Chrome) and SpiderMonkey (Gecko – Firefox)

This all however fails into insignificance however when you realise Opera’s market share on main browsers, <1.5% after the time they’ve been on it = not much point, they should concentrate on Opera Mini, Opera Mobile, and other niche markets which I’ll freely admit they’re market leaders at.

Yes, M2 defo needs some work. It’s the unsung “killer-module” of Opera imo. It’s particularly effective for people who like to keep large mail repositories, with fast searching, cross-referencing and organising capabilities. My top 10 to make Opera’s mail client kick ass:

1. (My pet request) Ability to edit messages within the system, change subject-lines, and remove attachments from emails
2. Ability to forward, redirect and reply HTML emails, without losing the HTML portion
3. Some basic HTML composition to keep the colourful mail users happy (doesn’t bother me!)
4. Increased flexibility for search (date ranges, subject only, within filters, and by other email metadata)
5. Filters within filters should offer the same functions as (4) and should work properly
6. Improved Export/Import functions that are bulletproof and work well.
7. A mail backup feature that turns the complete mailbox, filters, labels etc. into some contiainer file (tar/zip?) for backup and connection to another Opera installation.
8. More flexible labels. Add/configure your own. With (4) above including boolean search options for labels.
9. Lots of bugfixing!! Most of them are small irritations, but I’d like to see Opera setting a standard, and there’s a real opportunity to get a killer mail client out there.
10. Doubt this will happen, but open the specification of the mail storage area of Opera. I can then start writing some tools for manipulating the Opera mail stores, adding missing & recovery functions for example.

Perhaps a tool to recover broken mail stores that offers some of the above as well might be useful

But I saw crash on all browsers. All!!!

Recently I was using Chrome. I can say that im very impressed with Chrome. Its blazing fast, its the fastest on opening the browser and the faster when loading pages. I also did not had the problem that Opera and firefox. Firefox doesnt update page changes to well. This sucks for webdesigners since even after reloading the page it doesnt. So i use Opera, but Opera you have to turn the options to check images and content on each load and that means its not as fast anymore. Chrome is blazing fast and even so displays changes, even 1 letter changes. I also use a heavy software that runs via web on a Windows Server. Its probably the most Javascript/Ajax loaded app there exists and Chrome runs it like a charm. Its loads the stuff in no time. But here comes the Chrome error.

Chrome crashes the PC allot. Windows Vista 64 bit. I got a blue screen of death when using chrome, like 10 times a day. I Google it and its Chrome causing it. I uninstalled Chrome completely and over 2 months no blue screens of death anymore.

As for plugins. Firefox has allot of plugins, just if you get one to work. They make the browser slow and insecure. And 80% of plugins dont get updated and dont work. I dont know why people complained about Opera Plugins which are Widget. They are perfect if you ask me. I found every plugin I need, whois, currency, weather, translator, etc and they all work. Also I think to be able to run the Plugin outisde the browser ROCKS on Opera. And this cannot be done with other browsers. I can have the Google Translator Plugin over Microsoft Word and use it as i type. To be able to use plugins on the desktop is incredible in Opera. And also, Opera plugins work. I dont use the extra features like notes, email, but they are nice to have. If they make the browser slower I would prefer to have it away since i dont use it. I did had major problems with their Favorites sync, it duplicated and erased my favorites, that part is a mess. Opera is by far the most stable and featured. Chrome is the fastest and I like it. Firefox is the more customizable but also insecure and slow with Plugins. If Opera could have the speed and performance that Chrome has it would kill all other browsers, since it has everything, features, stable, speed, but chrome and safari as faster. So if I would have to ask something in Opera 10 would be peformance. Be able to start the browser in 1 second and also speed on ajax/dynamic pages.
I have to add what I do hate about Opera. No inline spell checker. I just hate it, I switch browser to use forums and when i have to write. I also hate tha opera doesnt support some websites, like the ones that have a Wysywig editor on it.

Chrome can be slow when it’s been open for a whole day or so. At least it’s been my experience. But unstable? I never had chrome crash since the initial release. Firefox on the other hand, ugh, it may be because of all the extensions but FF is really crash prone.

I kind of agree with you on webkit, but then it’s always good to have a healthy competition. At least both webkit engine and Opera’s engine tries to be web standard compliant, unlike some other web browser I can think of (eyes IE).
