    Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Shortcuts -> (Keyboard Setup) Edit

    Configure away! You can override ANY keyboard, mouse and voice command that way. Yes, you can even change the meaning of the mouse gestures.

    See, this is why Opera fanbois annoy me.

    You actually can't do what I ask, no where can I change ctrl shift to just normal ctrl.

    Tools -> Preferences -> Open New Tab Next To Active

    Happy?

    and have new blank tabs open at the end of the browser.

    By default, there's a "+" tab at the end of the browser's tab list. Not good enough?

    The + at the end of tab bar opens new tabs realtive. Which is not what I want. I want tabs open from links relative to the page I opened them from, and new blank tabs at the end of the tab bar. No way to configure that.

    Gone with Opera 11, since it now supports extensions. Now, you can have Adblock, Flashblock, whatever.

    So, basically, you only miss features that are TRIVIALLY easy to enable now. So, why don't you switch again? ^_^

    Well, because Operas adblock is still sucky as is the extensions framework in general, and the features I miss can not be enabled in any way. Thanks though :)

    Proof at the time you ask is hard, as we don't take notice of which sites break as we did not expect to prove it ater on. What Opera may be doing is not technically wrong, but it is wrong in that they would rather force standards then have the page display correctly.

    I never said or implied there were group showers, simply pointing out female and male showers are still separate. I read the whole thread, and still have to conclude you have no cause to call parent juvenile.

    Ctrl + T opens a new tab yes. I was talking about splitting up right clicking and openening a link in a tab, and using ctrl + t to open a blank tab. Unlike in FF, I cannot seperate these actions, which is annoying.

    Why is that juvenile? What reason is there against coed showers if not for reasons relating to sexuality? In which case, should straight guys not have the same protection from lustful homosexual male eyes as straight women do from straight men?

    I asked them how they would feel if Germany and France shoved through litigation to ban something that they (being from Norway) cared absolutely nothing about.

    That's exactly what happens. E.g. the three strikes law being forced down countires laws that don't want it and being fined for not implementing it, due to germany the uk and france pushing it through.

    It's important to adhere to standards but no to the point where most sites will not practically display. Something opera learned only recently.

  14. Errr on Opera Goes To 11, With Extensions and Tab Stacks · · Score: 0, Troll

    I avoided Opera for years mainly because they're nazi like adherence to standards meant many pages would display incorrectly (even with UA set to FF or whatever), it never having extensions so no adblock or checkthemall or whatever addons you might want.

    The fanbois making false claims about Opera being the first to innovate many things never helped.

    I have been using it next to FF beta 8 and Chrome and it has gotten a lot better. It's decently fast, and I quite like it.

    Some of the things you mention are just false though. I notice no difference with text rendering on my HD screen, the chrome takes up less room than both IE and FF*, although not Chrome, the form elements look identical to the ones rendered in any other browser...URL input also is no different...seemingly you have simply made these things up.

    The things that annoy me is that it uses shift + ctrl to open a new tab instead of the defacto standard ctrl, and there is no way to have tabs you open from a link open next to the active tab and have new blank tabs open at the end of the browser. Also, no working adblock despite what hosts files trolls say.

    I just wonder how the opera fanbois will mod this post.....

    *this is after disabling the ridiculous toolbar down the bottom...it uses the space a lot better than both FF (which has all that wasted space in the title bar) and IE (which put the address bar on the same level as tabs). Although it at least has a proper toolbar, unlike chrome....

    Bullshit. AdBlock is a whole lot more advanced than basically blocking out things via a glorified hosts file. As it stands, Opera still does not have a decent AdBlock extension.

  16. Wow...shortest beta ever on Opera Goes To 11, With Extensions and Tab Stacks · · Score: 0, Troll

    It's still fairly buggy, I'm surprised they are releasing it so soon.

    The compatibility with websites has finally improved so as to be usable, which is great.

    It's decently fast, although Minefield (not FF 32bit v) is faster on my machine.

    Now, if only they will allow me to customize keybindings and get extensions that work. At least here, Opera adblock doesn't block ads.

    You really shouldn't put Seinfeld in the same category as anything starring Charlie Sheen. For a show about nothing it was remarkable intelligent and well written, and even tackled complex issues a few times quite well.

    I love that whenever people don't like a show the fans blame the audience as not being sophisticated enough. What rubbish.

    In the case of say...Better off Ted or The Wire or Futurama or whatever it can be true....because a lot of references are made and issues are parodied....but in the case of SGU there is no prerequisite knowledge, and bad acting and the multiple issues are simply a deal breaker.
