torrentthief Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 i wonder if they are going to skip 10.54 as there have been no new builds of that for a while. 10.53 is still buggy, i guess we'll probably have to wait for 10.61 for a stable build of opera as i'm sure 10.60 will be very buggy too. WebM support is still buggy, the volume level isn't saved, its 100% for every video, the fullscreen button doesn't make it fullscreen, instead it just maximises it within the window and there are missing resolutions for videos e.g only 360p and 720p, no 480p available to choose.

Chasethebase Reporter Posted June 16, 2010 Reporter Share Posted June 16, 2010 It's a shame that Opera uses its own rendering engine as well, leaving most websites with square corners alike Internet Explorer. Still a good browser but if it can't render most sites properly I'll never use it. Also haha Neobond, mine took 30 seconds not minutes. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911086-opera-1060-beta-1/#findComment-592763718 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillz Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I don't like that Opera is turning off taskbar thumbnails by default, as it seems to run counter to the default Windows 7 taskbar behavior. IE8, Safari and other browsers all support the thumbnail tabs by default, and you turn them off, not the other way around.

IE8, Safari and other browsers all support the thumbnail tabs by default, and you turn them off, not the other way around. Imagine you have 30+ active tabs. :wacko: It's irritating for people who use Opera with lots of tabs always active (like I do), plus you can always activate it in Preferences Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911086-opera-1060-beta-1/#findComment-592763850 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its rendering engine follows all W3C requirements and regulations, it's HTML5 capable, etc., etc. The 'problem' is it's not a wh*re like the rest - rendering all sorts of crap in half-compatibility modes. It's strict and it renders dirty code the way dirty code is supposed to be rendered. That's why Opera is web developers' choice, not yours. +hedleigh and Tom 2 Share Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911086-opera-1060-beta-1/#findComment-592764074 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Negi Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Show me ONE SINGLE web page with 100% clean code that is rendered wrong in Opera, please! Unfortunately, that's completely irrelevant unless you spend all your time browsing only compliance benchmarks. The rest of us need to use the real Internet. That's why Opera is web developers' choice, not yours. Well, that's funny, given how Dragonfly is THE slowest and crappiest web development tool I've had the displeasure of using. :whistle: In fact, I'd say that's possibly the reason web developers don't bother to test for Opera. Not when it makes life so difficult for them.

x-byte Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Hopefully 10.6 will add good HTML5 support. Looks like most will be there, which is nice. Now lets add to the fire: - Opera sux because it have a big red O as logo - It sux because it doesn't use webkit or Gecko - It can't render sites at all, which is why it sux - They complained to EU?

Denis W. Veteran Posted June 16, 2010 Author Veteran Share Posted June 16, 2010 Wait, what? Opera's rendering engine does support rounded CSS corners if that's what you mean =/ If you jump into the source of, say this page, it's quite a bit of a mess with regards to corners: there's the prefix for Webkit browsers, the prefix for Gecko, and the non prefix for Trident or Presto. For now some sites assume only the first two, not the latter. With regards to the OS X complaints, I did have a quick look at it and it does feel a little awkward. It's not that bad though... if you want really awkward, check out the Linux port. :p Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/911086-opera-1060-beta-1/#findComment-592766246 Share on other sites More sharing options...
