RIP Opera Portal. It has been replaced with Discover or something like that on the newest (see: worst) version of Opera and it's on the newest (see: worst) version of Opera Mobile for Android.

Is Opera like Yahoo!, they keep trying to make themselves more like Google and only end up becoming worse (as one should have expected)?

Lately, yes. After 12.16, everything went downhill. They used to have a community (forums and a blogthing), an email service, a news portal, and now that's all gone. And since their move to webkit from presto, most of the features I loved about Opera are gone, too. Luckily for me, they haven't upgraded their linux package for Opera past 12.16, so I still have the best version.

Now that's what I call optimization.

This is what I dislike about the popular sites these days. They try so hard to make themselves convenient and user-friendly, to the point where it's inconvenient and sometimes just plain annoying.

I guess you could say you… never mind, I can't think of anything. Well, that sucks.

12.17 is just 12.16 with some bugfixes for windows because heartbleed.

Yeah, I still don't get how they let that slip by.

scienceguyz · 2014-05-12 09:50:52

I don't get how someone would think of that. who would think of requesting a string with an invalid number of characters?

Different55 · 2014-05-12 10:23:19

It's easy to think of, I think. With PSP exploits, feeding games a too-long amount of information can be useful if it's not protected against it. Any aspect of the game that handles user input needs to be protected against it. But I would think that in a system designed to be secure, they wouldn't have let something so seemingly basic slip by.
