Opera 9.5 (Kestrel) Alpha is out - Page 9

MarcLister · 18-11-2007, 13:34

I'm having some issues with Opera 9.24. Sometimes when I close a tab and Opera sorts out the tabs it crashes on me. It can do this several times in one go. And when I restart Opera and continue with the previous session it crashes again before its even finished rendering the pages.

So I can either try to fix the issue or is the 9.50 beta series now stable enough? I tried the 9.50 beta a while ago and it was OK. One or two teething problems that drove me back to 9.24. The latest 9.50 beta I tried, a week or so ago, crashed when I had already shut it down.

I would shut Opera and then Windows told me it had crashed.

So any ideas what is wrong with 9.24? Or should I stop being a pansy and switch to 9.50 latest beta?

I've been using 9.5 beta permanently for months now. Fine with me, but YMMV obviously... There are a few niggles but not so many now (cookie handling is my main issue) i'm just dealing with them as i go, there not really that bad for me. Gmail support is on and off every other build which is probably the only most annyoing aspect, but it works atm

Do you always install the latest beta every Friday or whenever? I might switch back to 9.5. It was a tad annoying but no-where near as annoying as 9.24. However I cannot understand why I get the crashes all the time.

Yeah i just keep upgrading it, keeps getting better and better for me personally...

MarcLister · 18-11-2007, 22:31

I might try it again in that case.

Hi Alex. Still playing with Kestrel?

LeperousDust · 11-01-2008, 23:04

Yeah, haven't stopped, its working great for me, i just keep updating to the latest alpha and it just gets better and better, i only had one bad run with a dodgy alpha and had to toally reinstall with the previous. Anything that doesn't work i just check if its in the bug list, if its not i help out.

Still the spellcheck and whatnot i've found extra really do add value too... Couldn't go without the spell checker and oget extension at all now at the very least...

oget extension?

LeperousDust · 12-01-2008, 20:12

easily integrates external download managers with opera, they can either fully take over, or become a standard right click menu. Although the right click menu is just an editing of an ini file, this still makes it as easy as a click of an exe

Everytime i "upgrade" an alpha i'd have to re-edit the ini file which was starting to really pee me off as i absolutely love the power and speed of free download manager (especially with my http newsgroups).

As |Show| has reminded me, new build out tomorrow (this evening), how is everyone "testing" it getting on? Any drawbacks? Anyone else using the spell checker? Or any other clever UserJS i haven't come accross yet?
