Opera 8 for Windows review

Friday 13 May 2005, 3:15 PM

I love Opera, but this thing is wrong


Bring back the hotlist! It was the best system ever for managing bookmarks. The new panel screen set-up takes up way too much screen and cannot be customized down. I've been using Opera since version 3 and this is most bloated thing I've ever seen. It reminds me of Netscape. I still have Opera 6 at home and will keep it until it dies because it doesn't have all this stuff and can be made to fit my needs. Please opera make some concession for those of us that want to customize this thing back to a simple, fast browser with no frills like you used to make. I have always loved your stuff, but this thing is driving me to Firefox.
