   Reviewing 11.64 (May 11, 2012)

   Although I use Firefox* as my main browser (it has more plugins) I still use Opera regularly as it's solid, reliable and a very mature product. Moreover, I've been using Opera since about 1999!
   
   Opera's always had better FTP support than IE. But like IE (and unlike Firefox), Opera has native MHTML support--i.e. save webpage as single archive file [.MHT]--and it's had it for years (Firefox STILL requires the MAFF Archive and/or UnMHT plugins to do the same).
   
   That said, I wish Opera was a little more 'standard' (a la IE or FF) in its UI and setup, but all up it's an excellent product.

   ------------ Reckon you live somewhere in the universe that has warped reality. Opera's rendering engine is excellent and it's been so for quite some years. Years ago, you may have been able to say that Opera had a problem with rendering pages and that was because Opera was W3C compliant whereas web developers were writing for the buggy, non-standard, non-compliant IE. One wonders what sites you're actually visiting.
   
   "Print module is badly broken." With respect to this comment of yours, I'd say it's possible but I've not seen it in this version. In fact, one of the main reasons that I have to use Opera is because of a very longstanding bug in Firefox where FF is not able to paginate certain web pages and thus it prints long pages as just one long page over multiple sheets (p1/1 only instead of say a correct p1/6). Every time I experience this problem Opera comes to the Rescue.
   
   (Please don't confuse browsers' printer limitations with a bug. As far as I'm concerned, unfortunately ALL browsers have primitive printer routines--it's as if developers consider printing web pages as an afterthought--and I'd certainly like to see them improved. Opera is no different to the others in this regard).
   
   * Actually the Pale Moon fork.

   if you hate it so much then get out of here, no one needs a review from an a** like u, opera has been one of the most innovative browsers since Were probably in diapers. I am not saying it is the best ot there for everyone, but it is pioneer of many of the browsing technologies that are standard today...Tabbed browsing, Session Restore, Password save, Autofill etc just to name a few...
   (and i am rating high today just to offset that ASS)

   Blaxima,
   All the other browsers work unlike Opera which has severe rendering
   issues with many major websites such as Facebook and Google Docs and Microsoft's many websites.
   
   Print module is still broken, many CAPTCHAS and shopping carts will not work. I have never pushed any one browser as they all have flaws but Opera has more flaws than all the others combined!
   
   It is YOU are the obvious fanboy.
   It is YOU who offer free word of mouth advertising for Opera.
   You should try getting a life. At the very least, go to Opera's blog and read the many, many problems users have with the stable branch of Opera

   Some of these comments are actually for version 12 which is worth pointing out as the 11.6x releases have been quite good. This one is no different.
   
   EDIT @Bala7,
   Would that be the same blog where my name appears constantly addressing bugs and regressions?
   
   My ratings vary from build to build, that's called objectivity. You can look it up as I'm sure you haven't a clue what that means.

   Reviewing 11.62 (Mar 31, 2012)

   @Bala
   and the other browsers steal ideas from Opera, like tabbed browsing, get a clue and save us from your fan boy rhetoric.
   
   Why has fileforum merged the 11 and 12 branch, Firefox has like 15k different ones? oh well
   
   11.62 Good and stable. It's missing some things that they've added to the 12 branch but unlike the 12 branch it is rock solid.
   
   12.00 The latest one adds a bunch of things like CSS animations(finally) but just like these releases, it doesn't work as expected. I continue to get crashes with this branch
   
   11.62=4*
   12.xx=2*

   Does this version support shortcut keys such for tabbing with number keys 1& 2?

   I've been a long time user of Opera but have switched to Firefox for three reasons. First because they wont produce a Unite free version, second because Opera can't seem to handle many Google cookies properly and third, Opera definitely got slower with version 10 and FF is now much faster. Try it and see.
