Slashing bugs, and improved Speed Dial extensions
Here's a build with more bug fixes, and some improvements to Speed Dial extensions.
The Add Speed Dial dialog now promotes Speed Dial extensions, and the way Speed Dial extensions are shown extensions manager has been tweaked a bit. You can also install the same Speed Dial extension more than once.
There's not much more to say, I guess, so test away!
WARNING: This is a development snapshot: It contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. In fact, it may not work at all.

1-Its Omnibox! Opera's address bar search algorithm is not as good as Chrome's. May be you can work a bit more on it?
2-Autofill-is really great thing. But Opera has only one profile. For example i usually have 3 different addresses and several emails. With Chrome its easy to fill all the information in one manager.
3-Google services! I know that Opera has some complications with Google, but you have to settle up all that problems and give users ability to use them! Opera IS modern browser. Such Google's discrimination is disgusting!
May be i should open some thread on forum to be heard, but i hope Opera devs read these comments and i wont be only one who wants existing features' improvements.
Thank you again for really good product that becomes better and better.

Angry Birds webversion is choppy and unplayable, even in SD-quality (or does it need hardware acceleration?)

Still problems with search boxes.
http://www.thq.de/ -> the whole upper area disappears when typing in the search box
http://www.thq.com/ -> the whole upper area disappears when typing in the search box

Two strange things in Link resp. Speed Dial
1. After (manual) update of Opera Next, all Speed Dial entries are gone.
2. After clean install of Opera Next, Speed Dail entries are fetched from Link in wrong order and additional (advertising) entries are added.

Please open and scroll down. Can anyone else confirm that mouse cursor disappears (no need to play video)?

But in this build... Control+Click does not work if the image is also a link.
This is very different behavior from previous builds (and all the releases for a very long time).
Is this a new default behavior? Or just a bug?
Can I change this behavior from the settings?
If this is the new behavior, I would probably have to stick with the previous build for ever. I already am frustrated with two other bugs that remains unresolved for a long time now.

Not sure if you will be able to change this behavior. Maybe it will just change so you can use SHIFT-CTRL-click for image saving...

It disappears after a while (about 2 seconds) and reappears when I move the mouse.
Ok, no feature.
It's affected by this site:

i really hope that they make it a toggable setting. i guess i am stuck with the previous build for a long time now.

Only for images that are also links, it still works fine for plain images (where it is arguably more likely that you want to store them locally). Please don't wait for a special setting here, that is not really practical to implement. I know it is a nice handy extra, but two clicks (right-click > save image) instead of one with a modifier key is hardly a showstopper.Rijk25. May 2011, 15:17
