"Big Bug persists"
Version: Opera 11.50
Pros
nice web page resource management.
Cons
A major bug still exists in the past few versions which they won't fix. You can't paste into dialog boxes (ex: filename or folder name) a word(s) you copied from a webpage you visited. Instead, you have to type it. This a a major pain in the keester.
Summary
The above problem is a major source of frustration for me. Several efforts to get this resolved have gone unheeded so i'm dumping Opera for something else. No browser I'm aware of has this problem.

"there's one feature no other browser has"
Version: Opera 11.50
Pros
See the summary below.
Cons
Found one problem with how a page renders in GoogleDocs
Summary
There's an optional item for the toolbar that allows you to resize the Opera browser window. As my eyes get older, the text in everything seems to be getting smaller. The ability to quickly enlarge the view of the Opera browser window is GREAT! The entire page gets proportionately larger using a slider that gives you a lot of flexibility.

"Unable to launch ,same message , I also have G4,"
Version: Opera 11.11
Pros
no pros if it wont launch
Cons
1 big con if it wont launch
Summary
Wanted to try something new but it won't launch on my G4 as well!

"Will Not Launch"
Version: Opera 11.11
Pros
Since I can't use it, I can't list any pros.
Cons
Opera 11.11 will not run on my computer.
Summary
Useless for me. I use a G4 "Digital Audio," OS 10.5.8, with an upgraded 3rd party processor (dual 1.6 GHz), a third party USB 2.0 card, and an upgraded video card. Opera 11.11, though it's description says it will run on OS 10.5 PPC, will not run. A window opens with the message, 'You can't open the application "Opera.app" because it is not supported on this architecture.'" This has never happened before on my modified Mac. Oh well.

Version: Opera 11.10

None - won't work on my machine!

Gives an "-10661" error message when trying to open it under 10.4.11 (*contrary* to what the blurb said...
Summary
Thumbs down!

"It'd be nice if it'd actually open up."
Version: Opera 11.01
Pros
My mom always said if you can't say something nice don't say anything at all.
Cons
I think THEY need to read what systems it will and won't work on!
Downloaded, installed; then when tried to open it received error message -
"This can not be opened on this system".
Mac OSX 10.4.11 Power PCSummary
I'm pretty peeved. Either build it so it works or don't build it at all.
