I hate the fact it's getting more bloated. I really wish they'd stuck with an older interface instead of LOL SKINNABLE AND LESS RESPONSIVE. What are they thinking? ;_;

However, using Firefox as an example of lack of bloat is a bit odd; it's both larger and slower than Opera.

That said, I think the Qt port of Opera sucks. Which is >>4's problem, I think...

> Why can't the Transfer window automatically delete all completed downloads from its history?

I happen to like them staying there. It's easy then to double-click and open something later on.

> Why can't a view the source code of only a selected part of a page?

What, frames? Or hilighted parts of page? Frames are alt-f3. Hilights would be a nice feature.

> Why does it not cache images that have been scrolled offscreen but are still on the same page (they're rerendered each time I scroll them back on screen)?

Probably a Qt-port problem. I've never seen this in windows.

>Why can't I do a right-click Show Image on images that failed to download without refreshing the whole page?

Have that problem too, on occasion. Damn annoying.

> Why am I forced to arrange my bookmarks in alphabetical order?

F4, right-click>View>Sort by my Order

> Why can't I use UTF-8 characters in my bookmark titles?

How odd. I can.

> Why can't I select certain font sizes? I want 11px fonts to be consistent with the rest of my apps.

Preferences>Fonts
