Talk:Opera (web browser)

Infobox screenshot

Its page claims that the screenshot is from a vanilla installation of Opera but it isn't:

• shows the Bookmarks bar, disabled by default;
• uses a custom theme instead of the default one.

Opera next?

This not the right place but I wonder what happen to the 'next' branch caused by the recent changes on opera web site.2A02:8422:1191:6E00:56E6:FCFF:FEDB:2BBA (talk) 19:29, 8 March 2013 (UTC)

Feature changes in Opera Next - Mail not integrated

Mail is now a new application. Mention in page but only when Opera Next is stable(?). Then page will need a massive rewrite. Mention new Mail app there or create new page? Comp.arch (talk) 16:12, 29 May 2013 (UTC)

Opera 15 (Stable) is released

Opera 15 is released, please update article and new logo:

Whether it is stable or not, currently v12.16 (released this week) is what is offered at the moment from the download page. Both versions should be shown, and maybe a totally separate section to cover Opera 15. Maybe an expansion of the 'Reception' section to cover Opera 15 is needed, most of the reception has been pretty hostile... Dsergeant (talk) 13:38, 5 July 2013 (UTC)

Opera 15 is no longer Opera (presto), it's a Chromium clone.

Due to the fact that Opera has abandoned it's previous browser & engine, I would like to suggest all references to the previous opera be moved into a "pre-chromium" section, or deleted. Most if not all features no longer exist in the new browser, and the awards could almost be seen as blatantly false advertising (demonstration of merchantability) of a different product. The new Chromium engined version should stand on it's own merits, and not rest on the laurels of something it is not. AE7EC (talk) 07:32, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Indeed, but not sure what is the best way of handling it. For some considerable time there will be many of us using Opera 12 and not updating to O15+. A totally separate section for Opera 15+ is probably best, maybe in front of the Presto version description which could stay largely unchanged. Or totally separate articles, they are so different that you simply cannot cover them in one. Dsergeant (talk) 16:55, 31 July 2013 (UTC)

Please don't get sentimental on Wikipedia. There's no need for a different section for Opera 15. The current stable version should be described and the legacy version will have its space in History of the Opera web browser article and also in the main features article. Since it still have similar major features like Speed Dial and it isn't a "Chrome clone" it shouldn't be hard, but the article needs a major rework since it's still citing beta products or products for older platforms like Windows Mobile that are long in the past as if these were the highlights of Opera Software's work. I can take a look when I have time. --Rafaelluik (talk) 21:46, 1 September 2013 (UTC)

Opera 15 is stable; article describes legacy versions

Opera 15 and recently Opera 16 are stable builds and are promoted as the current versions by Opera. This page needs to be reworked, especially in the features section (see Features of the Opera web browser ). Tagging it as incorrect until someone corrects it (I can't at the moment). — Preceding unsigned comment added by TvF (talk • contribs) 16:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC)
