Opera 15 Preview

Them ditching Presto is probably amongst the stupidest decisions they could have made. I mean, Webkit is one thing, but they seem to have lost all the features that made Opera the technological leader that other browsers followed (mouse gestures, tabs and lots of other functionality). Right now, it's lost that all.

I'm not impressed, and will probably end up switching to Chrome some time in the next ~6 months. :-(

Unfortunately for them, nobody paid attention to them... except the other browsers and a hanful of us. I think this move may pay off though. Ditching google is a popular trend... they may set themselves up to be THE alternative to Chrome for people looking to ditch google but stick with webkit. I won't be surprised if they find greater success than they've ever known, all the while alienating every one of their pre-webkit users.

Strange times.

Opera 15 is released, but it doesn’t mean we're relaxing now. With our new rapid-release cycle, we are already hard at work on the next versions. Right now, we are focusing on synchronization (aka Opera Link), enhanced tab management (visual tabs and so on) and support for themes – and these are just a few of the features you can expect to find soon in our next releases! So, stay tuned for some of the most loved features to return soon, better than ever.

 :o ...this is no longer considered a preview. Featureless Opera is officially released.

verszipo:
I'll stick with Opera 12 until either they re-add all the missing features into Opera 15 or the current one stops working, in which case i'll search for something else.

As somebody said, if we wanted Chrome we would have used chrome.
