    Today some sites are not loaded by Opera 12.18, while they are normally loaded by new Opera. Some Opera 12 user has the same problem ?

    Actually, a lot of sites don't work correctly anymore in Opera 12. I noticed that it also can't display HTML5 video.

    The last version of this browser is 1 1/2 years old. Don't expect that it is able to utilize all HTML5-features.

    Yes, I thought this, so i posted to check some other experience.

    ps: I know that Opera 12 is old and discontinued, but as many here I go on use it: give me a browser with Tabs bar on the bottom and thumbs nails in speed dial icons and I'll change.

    Actually, I can't remember if in the past it did support HTML5 video, but I indeed don't expect it to.

    It's best to use Opera 12 only for a couple of sites, for general browsing it's not recommended. But yes, it's a bit frustrating when idiot web-developers change lay-out of certain sites, causing them to stop working in Opera 12. A popular newspaper recently ruined their whole website, even in Firefox it looks like crap:

    Today I didn't change any in Opera 12, it the usual settings. Anyway now I came back to see all them
    :confused: . It couldn't be a servers or providers issue, because I saw them with new Opera, as I said.

    I have had the same experience with Opera 12 and refuse to update due to the radical change in interface. I will be looking at the Vivaldi Browser which was founded/created by a former Opera big-wig. I have not really looked at the VB yet but what little I have seen is that it is highly customizable so I am hopeful that I will be able to browse the way I am used to (and want). Lots of info on YouTube and elsewhere. Fingers crossed here as many sites do not load in Opera 12 and I am getting fed up with having to open them in Win Internet Exp..

    Time to move to another browser probably. Take a look at Vivaldi.

    May be, but I'm trying to use old Opera as long as I can. I tried Vivaldi, but there is something that i don't like, also if I'm not able to say what. Vivaldi's icons in speed dial have thumbnails ?

    The only reason not to like Vivaldi is the high resource usage, but you get the same problem with crappy Chrome and Opera. BTW, I noticed that the new VirusTotal also doesn't work in Opera 12.

    Get used to it, that is the future of all browsers, and it will only increase as people upgrading to systems with more RAM allow developers to make sandboxes stricter.

    I hope this is not the case, and in Firefox you can luckily limit the amount of processes.
