Talk:Criticisms of Opera/Archive 1

message: Ptomes, you pasted the same URL for both the Opera version history and the Firefox version history.  Just thought i'd point that out so you can fix it.  seinman 18:22, 6 February 2006 (UTC)

message: I'm trying to improve the style in how this article is written, and there are still plenty of problems, some of the kind "This is one criticism that was being heard a bit recently", which is clearly not encyclopedic and to the point to me. In that sentence, as well as several others, there are also many weasel words used in this article, and it's sometimes hard to know if something mentioned is general opinion, or opinion of the author, written as general opinion, due to the combination of such words and lack of references. Anyway, I also removed a bullet point about the Opera cache possibly reducing Opera site visitor statistics, which was out of place and listed under "Website rendering". So far, I've edited "Introduction", and "Web site rendering" under "Criticisms from IE or Mozilla Firefox users", and also added new sections. I'm trying not to remove any information in my edits, but of course please look through the edits if you feel like it. If I remember to, I'll go through this page further a bit later. -- Jugalator 00:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Surely the existance of this page is against NPOV? The content should be merged with Opera, or the page just deleted, since a page devoted to criticism can never be NPOV. I'm not sure which, however, and will leave it to someone more confident --88.106.184.4 09:28, 4 April 2006 (UTC)

message: As far as I know, UserJS still doesn't give Opera the level of extensibility of Firefox. Firefox extensions can use XPCOM to play with Gecko and system internals while UserJS cannot. Essentially, UserJS is only the Opera implementation of Greasemonkey.--Nonpareility 06:11, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

message: :Some of Opera's default keyboard shortcuts differ from other browsers. Although these shortcuts can be edited by the user.
AFAIK, that was changed a year or so ago. Now, it has the same shortcuts as firefox (for example, ctrl+T = new tab, ctrl+N = new window). bogdan 10:20, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: :Opera does not provide the context menu with related commands on Bookmarks menu items.
It's misleading. Opera has context menus, but in the bookmark bar, not in the menu items. The menu is supposed to be that way, just for selecting items, while the bookmark bar is for organizing them. In fact, it's the menus in Firefox and IE have a non-standard behaviour, not those in Opera. bogdan 10:24, 2 August 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Context menus 

message: In the case of website rendering problems, a user may deal with the problem in three ways:
#By contacting the webmaster, mentioning the problem, and asking if they can update their affected web pages to include Opera.
#By posting the encountered problem in the Opera community forums and asking if a fix is available either by an updated ua.ini (to spoof the browser idendity almost completely), browser.js (to fix important websites by overriding or patching specific website code) or a fix by using User Javascript.
#By using the "Report a site problem" option in the Help menu in Opera to report the issue to Opera Software.
I can't see what has this to do with with Criticism of Opera... bogdan 10:26, 2 August 2006 (UTC)

message: "Although Opera provides more features than other browsers out of the box, it does not provide an architecture to add extra programs in the browser, like for example Mozilla." Widgets, anyone? -Iopq 16:55, 9 August 2006 (UTC)
