Great work! Fast and easy to use. Just curious why more and more projects dont support opera =(

They lacked some of the HTML5 features we needed in the client :-/

(the detection script should be accurate, so if they add them it should "just work")

You have Chrome, Firefox, and even Safari. What compels you to use Opera over any of those?

Bookmark manager, speed, GUI configurability. It's pretty much the difference between a yacht and a tricycle.

I won't even let Chrome on my sytem directly (i.e. outside of a VM), because I'm tired of it downloading updates with some super needy background service, keeping 100s of megabytes around for no good reason, and no way to turn it off. At least Mozilla products ask. For that reason alone Opera and Firefox play in an entirely different league than Chrome or Safari. Fuck features, let me see your heart... Firefox I use and love, it's just not my main browser because only Opera has bookmark management worth calling that.

Nothing compels met to, just used to opera for the last 10 years
