Tried to update opera a little bit ago. Or rather, did. Apparently things have changed a lot from the classic version. Almost every single ounce of it bad. My initial response was something that would have fit right into the rage thread (and almost hit the WTF one, but.. there was enough of a notable vulgarity to other word ratio (i.e. something like 1 in 10 of the characters that would have made the post was dedicated to swearing) I realized that was probably a bad idea), but now I'm just kinda'... kinda'. Some goddamn idiot took one of the best browsers on the market and decided to make it another chrome (i.e. complete shit). Like, it literally uses the chrome:// address thing to access the settings. And it, just. Apparently I'm now going to be using the last version of opera that's not just a reskinned chrome, at least until I get around to figuring out if another browser works as well. S'just. You build a rapport with a piece of software, you know? It's good, it's functional, it does what it needs to. It's like a good tool, that's been reliable for you for years. And then someone goes and shoves a steam powered oscillating cactus up its rectum. And you're sitting there staring at its bleeding, mangled code dripping out on the floor and just wondering why. Why would someone do that.
E: Also, to anyone I have recommended Opera to in, like, the last year or something. I am very, very sorry. Consider giving version 12.18 a try -- opera's classic versions, of which that is the latest and the last, are actually decent. The version numbers past that are chrome, reskinned, and just as terrible as chrome because of it. But I'd probably more strongly recommend just not using the browser. Something that screws up that badly should not be rewarded even obliquely.
