Opera 11 released

One thing which is particularly good about Opera is the forum. I have gotten some excellent support there.
 
Opera11 doesn't identify flash plugin (I cant watch youtube videos). With 10.63 I watched flash videos. Does anybody have the same problem?

I love this browser, but I must use 2 versions in this moment. :(

Copy
operapluginwrapper
operapluginwrapper.freebsd
operapluginwrapper.linux

from the library location of your Opera 10.63, most likely /usr/local/lib/opera

place them in the location of your Opera 11 installation lib path. In my case ~/.local/lib

I hope we won't have to wait 6 months until they update FreeBSD port

I hope to be imported on ports soon because I want to install it too and to have two browsers (chrome & opera)

Anything wrong with the provided install script? I've never used it so I'm genuinely curious.
Anything wrong with running it "locally" using the opera script?
 
I use the install script to install Opera 11, other than it does not do the operapluginwrapper patching (which the port does), I've had no problem with it.

I just prefer to install apps using standard way...
 
I do not even install it, just download the *.tar.bz2, untar and use 'in place' with copied profile directory from my current Opera setup 'it was Opera 11 alpha', works like a charm [*] ;)

[*] But I do not use Flash or anything like that in Opera, if I need Flash, I engage Midori with configured Flash.

Just curious as to why you don't use Flash in Opera, but do so in Midori. I've limit use of Midori, mainly on OpenBSD, does it preform better than Opera with Flash.

Its not that Flash does not work under Opera (or does not work well), to be honest I have never used Flash under Opera on BSD systems, when I was starting my 'journey' with BSD system, I did not even think aout Flash in the browser ;)

Now as I know how to configure things to work 'my way' I can use Flash at Opera, but it would only piss me off. I 'browse' the Internet without Flash as I mostly seek for text information, if I found myself in need to browse some 'Flash only page' or the movies at Youtube (od dailymotion or whatever ...), then I use Mirodi for that purpose.

Generally I found that Midori can be 'named' as open source Opera ... it has built in (by extenshions) mouse gestures, similar panel, similar functionality, for sure its *not* Opera, but as George Carlin said: "(...) but when You think about it (...)" ;)

Opera 11 has an extension that adds a download button to the page and lets you choose between formats.
I use it to download the MP4 and watch it with mplayer while it's downloading.

Thanks mate, but *sometimes* I need to browse site that some idiot wrote entirely in Flash shit or just watch a Youtube (or other 'movie provider') and the forget about it ... but if I need to download a movie, I do not even need to add any extension, as I will play it at Midori and then think that I liked it, then its available at /tmp/Flash${RANDOM} waiting for me already (already downloaded after first watch, no need to download anything), for example as /tmp/FlashXXtHsy7p file.
 
Many thanks for Opera 11 ! I've updated mine on my FreeBSD 8.1-STABLE (by doing routine portsnap and portupgrade) and finally I can type Korean in the Opera browser without irritating input method bugs.
 
Since the first alpha they included it in.

There was even an automatic stacking feature. They later removed it because people started complaining about it. People do that a lot. But they'll bring it back, hopefully with optional domain-based stacking or something useful.
