Comment on Opera 15 releasedparent

I think they say that in the way of a left bookmark pannel.

The new stash feature is IMHO a better way to do bookmarks as you get a quick glance at the page and you can even search for words inside the pages.

However, I do not currently use this release because it lacks a lot of important features:

->ability to stack tabs in expandables groups

->no opera link (bookmark sync), even if they do it with stash

->stash is not searchable via the address bar (huge step backward in my opinion)

->I use opera turbo daily (now called off road mode) and I miss the F12 menu to switch it on (you can also disable JS, accept popups, etc in the same menu)

In an unrelated note they could improve custom search engines to display a logo of the site (like they did for google, wikipedia yahoo bing and amazon) I have a lot of "custom search engines" and they just appear the same way as a magnifying glass

for the plus side: think it's a good thing that they got rid of the search bar as you can search in the address bar anyway

EDIT: typo

Stash feature is only great if you have a small amount of bookmarks. If you say, have like 1000+ accumulated since first using Opera in 2003, then stash is not so desirable.
