> they'll fix it in two years Seems pretty quick, at least compared to Chromium / Firefox ;) > you don't get to know its status in the meantime Toward the end of Opera's life (pre v15) either an employee or a member of the community (can't remember which) did actually set up a public bug tracker tracking the status of publicly-reported bugs. It didn't show comments or anything like that: just the original bug description, report date & status. So that was... something at least. They did also give private bug tracker access to a subset of community members, by invite.

Yeah you can still ask people who have access to look up the status of a bug for you[1]. It just feels so needlessly convoluted. Since they're already using Jira, it shouldn't be too hard to set it up with proper access controls so you could see your own tickets, at least. They must have some reason to not do this.

  Amount of years old bugs with zero activity while they keep working on new features. Opera/Vivaldi CEO is really adamant about hiding both staff and user counts. Vivaldi even removed itself from User Agent string.

    If memory serves, they removed the user agent because one of the Google properties was serving it substandard HTML/JS even though they use the Chromium engine.

      Yes that is likely the case. All browsers wants to use a unique user agent. It is the only way to prove market share => $$$. But it is ridiculously difficult to modify it without breaking sites. Take a look at your own user agent. It is likely it identifies itself as gecko/mozilla/chrome/safari/IE/KHTML all in one.

      Think about it for a second. They removed the very most important metric for a product selling content leads and placement (search bar default bookmarks, placement on the start page) because _one_ website had a bug?

        They removed it because they claimed Google was sending substandard markup on purpose.
