Opera 11 has been released. "Tab stacking is a better way to organize your open tabs. Simply drag one tab on top of another to create a stack. Extensions help you personalize your browser and enhance what Opera can do. With the flick of your wrist, mouse gestures let you navigate back and forwards, open new pages, close tabs and so much more. In Opera 11, you now have a handy visual guide to the wonders of mouse gestures. We changed the address bar, so you can make better sense of the security levels of the sites you visit. Opera 11 now displays a clear badge indicating the security level and allowing immediate, one-click access to security and trust information about the site."

I feel strongly that such comment does not belong here on OSNews.
Anyways, many of the features now taken for granted when using the main stream browsers originated from Opera. It maybe true that innovative groups/organizations do not necessarily become dominant in the marketplace and/or are heavily criticized when such features are first introduced. However, they deserve to be encouraged - not impeded by wishes for their disappearance from the marketplace.

shame on you buddy.
i'm an opera user since version 2.18 (1997 maybe?)
it is a innovation source since then.
i'm pretty sure your life is so successful to make this kind of comment.
sorry my english, and sorry to all osnews readers for this user's comment.

God damn, what did Opera ever do to you?
You can choose not to use it, but I'll continue to have at least *some* interest. For a while, before Firefox came along, Opera and the Mozilla Suite were all we had (leaving IE out on purpose here)--and guess which one felt snappier while continuing to provide new features that would eventually be copied by all the other major browsers today?
Honestly, I don't know what Opera could have possibly done to get such a heavy attack thrown their way...

TBH couple of years ago when I really needed job I applied there for some shit and got rejected with no reason after the interview obviously i wasnt swedie pusseh enough. But besides that their crapware browser was always forcing users to watch their ads thats enough to shame themselves. Want to make monnies you dumb faggots convice your tard govt to buy your browser dont force kids and students to watch your ads.
Why does Google get so much credit in the technology industry? Why, despite the company's many obvious failings, do many geeks and enthusiasts still hold a somewhat positive view on the all-knowing technology giant? A specific talk at Google I/O this week provides the answer.

"Windows is indeed slower than other operating systems in many scenarios, and the gap is worsening." That's one way to start an insider explanation of why Windows' performance isn't up to snuff. Written by someone who actually contributes code to the Windows NT kernel, the comment on Hacker News, later deleted but reposted with permission on Marc Bevand's blog, paints a very dreary picture of the state of Windows development. The root issue? Think of how Linux is developed, and you'll know the answer.
This is one of those news items that's fun to write, fun to read, fun to comment on, and where no one will be able to say anything unkind. It's all just one big ball of awesome fluffiness. TuneTracker, the BeOS radio automation software, has just released something very special: TuneTracker System 5, the first version designed entirely and specifically for Haiku. In fact, it actually includes Haiku in the software package. Better yet, TuneTracker also unveiled several system-in-a-box products - which have Haiku and TuneTracker pre-installed.
Exactly twenty years ago, a document was published that played a huge role in establishing the web as we know it today. Twenty years later, and this simple and straightforward document is proof of an irrefutable fact: while closed technologies can change markets, open technologies can change the world.
Oh multitasking. That staple of computing that got thrown out the window with many modern smartphones. We got some rudimentary thing in its place - but even as multitasking on phone and tablets improves, its user-visible side remains cumbersome. Windows 8 has a neat implementation, and now it's time Android follows in it footsteps.They're here! Whether that excites you or not remains to be seen, but the Galaxy S4, which will most likely become the best selling Android smartphone of the year by a huge margin, has been reviewed by all the major sites, and there's lots of interesting conclusions in there - although I think most of you will get the gist.Nokia has posted its quarterly results for the first quarter of 2013, and just like the quarters that came before, there's not a whole lot of good news in there. The rise in Lumia sales still can't even dream of making up for the sales drop in Symbian phones, and when broken down in versions, the sales figures for Windows Phone 8 Lumias in particular are very disappointing. In North America, Nokia is getting slaughtered.The day has finally come: Google has started shipping Google Glass to the lucky few early adopters. Now that it's shipping, Google has also unveiled a lot more about the API and the specifications of the device itself. While the company had already given out substantial details at earlier occasions, there are still a few surprises here.
Almost exactly three years ago, I wrote about why OSNews was no longer OSNews: the alternative operating system scene had died, and OSNews, too, had to go with the times and move towards reporting on a new wave of operating systems - mobile, and all the repercussions that the explosion of smartphones and tablets have caused. Still, I was wondering something today: why aren't we seeing alternative operating systems on mobile?

I won't even bother trying this release. Just close your stupid company, nor/swe gov will pay up your workers after anyways. Opera should realize their products are worthless and uncompetitive. I feel good that I don't work at your company, losers.
