[14/2] Opera 10 Thread - Which Opera 10 Improvements do we want? - Windows Mobile Apps and Games

Thankfully, XDA-developers is the biggest WinMo forum in the world. that being said, we also have an immense effect on how the WinMo world looks like.
Opera proved themselves many times bringing us great browsers.
we have some problems with opera 10 not being a perfect browser right?
let's collect all improvement ideas/changes/concepts which come to mind and i'm pretty much certain they'll do whatever they can to give us what we want.
Just post what's on your mind and i'll collect it and put it here (I'd appreciate it if you posted the suggestion itself in a different color).

Nice initiative, and if perhaps we can't get Opera to make some changes to version 10, perhaps it will stimulate programmers at xda to write custom hacks for the new browser series.
1) Zoom slider like in 9.5 and 9.7 browsers. With this obviously comes pinch to zoom support on the HD2.
2) New options: enable text reflow, enable text reflow only when zoomed in, disable text reflow
3) Snapping to columns of text when doing vertical scrolling.
4) Option to display the windows taskbar when browsing, except in fullscreen mode.
5) Show downloading speed for file downloads.
6) Option to display a www homepage as the start page, instead of the 9 quick links.
7) Some implementation of the visual back feature like in recent 9.7 builds. It has to work smoother and prettier than in those builds though.
8) Option to FORCE sites to ALWAYS go to the full desktop version. No more user agent hacking.
9) Better rendering of images (images often appear in low quality even though turbo mode is off).
10) Better javascript and ajax support (for example it doesn't render Gmail with all features like chat and themes enabled).
11) Option to open new tabs in the background.

Opening tabs in the background is a must. I rage when I am browsing and trying to open a group of news articles i want to read and I have to keep hitting buttons to get back to the main page to let the things i want to read load in the background.

---

Text select, copy, & paste is there but it simply does not work properly.
It's should work fluently!
Image quality even in turbo mode should be better.

---

I've posted directly in the Opera Mobile 10 beta 2 blog post before, but I guess they don't really read it -_-...
Anyways (besides the other suggestions mentioned):
1) Full HTML 5 support so we can use the mobile Google Buzz and Mail webpages that iPhone and Android users can enjoy on their webkit browsers.
2) Automatic zoom-to-fit webpage (or a #$(*&# zoom slider). It's annoying having mobile webpages rendered and not filling the entire screen.

text size adjust?

---

1.) Zoom does not work in landscape correctly
2.) Zoom slider like in 9.5 and 9.7 browsers. With this obviously comes pinch to zoom support on the HD2.
3.) Option to display the windows taskbar when browsing, except in fullscreen mode.
4.) Fix text input problem, it lag's like hell when I am typing smth!
5.) Better rendering of images (images often appear in low quality even though turbo mode is off).

I'll add flash integration (I know beta 3 has flash support) and divx web player intergration.
Cheers

Not in my experience.

---

When scrolling, I want to have the possibility to scroll up/down OR left/right. Not both at the same time.

not for me too... opera mobile 10 beta 3 is much more stable and faster then beta 2.

Fingertouch
I'd like Fingertouch to finally be implemented in the WinMo version. It really would help me hit those tiny links on my QVGA touchscreen.
If you don't know what fingertouch is, look here:
(This was originally a link to operas fingertouch press release, but since I'm not allowed to post links , you'll just have to google it.)
If it is already out there, I wasn't able to find it.

---

It shouldn't require 2xclicks on the red cross to close a tab button and 3x just to get to Bookmarks from viewing a web page!
Just my 2 cents.

---

pinch zoom for my hd2

FLASH SUPPORT!!!! Skyfire is kicking Operas ass right now

---

For me the browser of my dreams would be :
Opera Mini 5, but including Flash...
I find Opera Mini so fast and convenient compared to Opera Mobile...

I would have to agree with you. I am very happy with beta3.
