While final 10.10 non-alpha Peregrine/Futhark shows correctly text cursor in Windows Me, initial Evenes/Carakan 10.50 non-alpha and all later subsequent versions doesn't show text cursor in Windows Me at all. 188.165.210.168 (talk) 06:55, 11 June 2010 (UTC)

message: “Version 9.0 was the first Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux, and BSD browser to pass the Acid2 test.”
Does that mean that it is the first to both pass the Acid2 test AND to run on Microsoft Windows, GNU/Linux and BSD? Because Konqueror passed the test before Opera did, although it did not run on Windows officially yet.

thread_title:  About Opera 11 

message: Added version 11 for the newest operating systems. The whole Release compatibility section should however be cleaned up. How's the compatibility for the older browsers? The GNU/Linux downloads have been separated into three downloads. Some of the older download links does not point to the right versions. Wirrad (talk) 09:30, 16 December 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  Release compatibility 

message: Currently, the latest version of Opera (Opera 11.01) still works for .26% of all users who are still on Windows 2000.
I checked the system requirements page on their site that Windows 2000 on a Pentium II with 128 MB of memory is the minimum and Windows XP is the recommended minimum requirements.
I checked this page and found that Windows 2000 compatibility was removed in Opera 10.10 which is not true, however support for Windows 98 and Windows Millennium Edition was officially dropped.
Has anyone gotten any ideas on whatever the system requirements will be raised further in Opera 11.10 or Opera 11.50? Because, it's too early to tell whatever someone has jumped to the conclusion that Opera already dropped Win2K support or Win2K will still be supported, but with reduced functionality.
Also, Firefox 4 will still work with Windows 2000, but with reduced functionality.
From what I can tell, Opera and the Mozilla Foundation are often one of the *very last vendors* to continue supporting an older version of Windows longer than any other OS and by the time this becomes a concern, Microsoft may have already stopped supporting it.
Thank you for your concern. :) 74.42.190.144 (talk) 17:39, 2 March 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Windows 2000 compatibility with Opera 11.x. 

message: I think it would be much more useful if the History of the Opera web browser webpage has an actual table of detailed info on each release of Opera, like the one in the History of Mozilla Firefox web browser.

thread_title:  A List of Opera Releases. 

message: I had to update the article to confirm that Opera 11.50 has permanently dropped support for Mac OS X 10.4 (Tiger). The change comes more than six months after Opera discontinued support for the PowerPC architecture on Mac and Linux due to low marketshare (< .1%) and fading third-party vendor support.
Users who attempted to install Opera 11.50 on Mac OS Tiger will receive the error message, "You cannot use the application 'Opera' with this version of Mac OS X." as one user reported it in the Opera forums.
Tiger support was going to be dropped when marketshare usage fell below 4.75% of Mac users, but it was only dropped for good when serious bugs that weren't fixable crept up.
On 16 August 2011, Mozilla is expected to abandon support for Mac OS Tiger, PowerPC processors and processors without SSE2 instructions as the open-sourced foundation is expected to release one more security and stability update for 3.6 series, Firefox 3.6.19 as it will be EOL.
If you find any changes or errors, you're welcome to correct it. 184.12.240.241 (talk) 16:51, 1 July 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Opera 11.50 no longer compatible with Mac OS Tiger. 

message: The screen shots of Opera are terrible.  Not only are they bad presentations of Opera, but they are untrue.  Take the latest version on this article, 7.0 or so, the screen shot does not present what Opera looks like,  It makes Opera look cheap and old fashioned. Also, in Opera, there is never a banner which reads, "buy now".  Opera has always been free.  70.74.186.206 (talk) 17:00, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Screen shots are ridiculous  

message: I still use Opera 10.60. I have tried later versions and found them unsatisfactory.
•Newer versions cannot display multi- page articles.
•Newer versions cannot tolerate multiple instances of Opera running simultaneously.
•Newer versions always try to update on start. This feature cannot be turned off (there is a setting to turn it off, but it does not work).
Opera developers have come under the negative influence of inferior browsers such as Chrome and Firefox. Opera has been essentially ruined --- at least, judging by the most recent versions I have tried. ---Dagme (talk) 16:23, 27 November 2013 (UTC)

message: Can someone knowledgeable add to the article information about when tab support was introduced to the browser? I think the support for tabs was included very early on. 80.223.182.224 (talk) 19:15, 31 January 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: http://www.opera.com/docs/history/presto/#o40 - claims tabs came with 4.0 on 2000-06-28. I think it's something to mention casually, as Opera certainly was not the first to do it; see also Tab (GUI)#History. Opera Show also arrived with Opera 4.0, and also deserves a mention. —WOFall (talk) 19:01, 3 February 2014 (UTC)

message: According to Opera's system requirements page, Opera silently pulled support for OS X 10.10 Yosemite sometime between mid-2018 and January 2020.

thread_title:  OS X 10.10 Support 

message: I recently decided to experiment with Opera browser as a friend told me it had some features I wanted but couldn't find (except possibly by installing extensions) in other browsers I was using.
On my laptop I now have Opera version 81 and when I go to the about page, its inviting me to "Restart Opera to update to version 82.0.4227.23".
The latest version shown for any computing environment in this article is version 76.
That seems horribly out of date.  Is anyone still maintaining this page?Hedles (talk) 18:38, 13 December 2021 (UTC)

message: I don't know if it's because I'm using a slightly out of date version of Opera (89 since I'm on macOS Sierra), but the release compatibility table looks very strange and is hard to read. Is this a bug in Wikipedia or my browser, an error/typo on the table creator, or just poor design? This is how it looks for me.
Sidenote: Please let me know if I did this wrong, I've never made any sort of edits on Wikipedia except for a single sentence added to my favorite musical artist's page. RazrCrazrV3 (talk) 19:32, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
