Extensions are much slower and annoying to manage. If Opera Next does not include all the features Opera users used to have (the bin is just one of them) then none of them will actually use it. If we wanted Chrome, we would use it.

> I always thought the selling point was the e-mail /rss / irc etc None of these are 'selling points'. There is better software available for Email, RSS and IRC. If you don't want many tools, ok, you might like Opera more, but they are

> Good to see them move to chromium. One less testcase Yay. Because staying in your comfort zone is more important than software diversity.

Writing a RSS parser is horrible - been there, done that. Everyone who had to go through that hell has my deepest compassion!

I can second that. Lightroom is indeed an awesome tool. You should really check it out if you have large amounts of images to be organized and want to bulk-optimize them. It takes some dedication to get used to the workflow and the availabl

I do! Why? * I just want to save the file, not view/open it. * I can quickly determine where I want a file to be saved. * I can rename the file instantly. * Some files are huge, so I rather save than view. * Bulk-Downloading many files at o

You're right about IRC, but totally wrong about Jabber/XMPP. It's much more than a 'cute IRC'. Edit: Oh, nevermind, I just saw you wrote 'jabbr', not 'Jabber'. See, the confusion already started. Bad product name. :)

1. The name is just fail. Jabber is well known and established. Reminds me of the Python name confusion some company started very recently. Seriously, what do people think when they name their products like that? 2. There are many Jabber OS

Ask HN: How can this post end up on page 3 so quickly (just refreshed the page) and still have increased in value (more points)?

> I have guns > worried about theft when I'm not home. Wow, true U.S. citizen's problems. I wouldn't even think about crime rates or the need to carry a gun when looking for a place to stay. Come to Europe, it's better.

Excessive TortoiseHG user here. Many rather large repos with multiple branches, tags, forks, etc. All hg processes together take less than 130 MB RAM. I don't recall having any crash at all in the last few years, nor did it become unrespons

TortoiseHG is pretty awesome, it has everything you could possibly need. You should try it.

True, even mail from known senders has to be dealt with care as well. "holy crap, this is you" This scam could be avoided easily by checking the links actual URL before clicking on it. And even if you click and end up with some mal

I haven't used any antivirus software in years, IMHO they're just annoying and reduce performance (used to use NOD32 until 2007, loved it back then). Here is what I do instead: - surf the web consciously - do not open any email attach

> "how poorly most people implement RSS." ^upvoted! I agree, it's horrible! Not only are the many different versions of RSS & ATOM a problem, but the freedom of putting any kind of data in any of the fields. I've seen "descriptions"

Yes, having the tabbar on the left is amazing in Opera, esp. with a 16:9 display. I've uploaded a screenshot for you[1] to show you my current tab list. They're grouped into tasks I'm working on atm. On the left the groups are expanded, on

You should try Opera as well, it's is the only browser that runs smoothly with many tabs, every other browsers fails with 25+ tabs when it comes to speed and stability. ATM I'm running 50+ tabs with 1.5 GB RAM usage. I want my browser to be

Reading blog posts like this makes me wonder if the author even considered using Opera at any point in his painful journey with Firefox and Chrome.

Please, don't swap the facts. Opera (Presto) was conform to the standard, but most web developers focused only on webkit and implemented too much browser-specific code.
