5 Reasons Why You Should Not Upgrade to Opera 9.5

[ad#ad-2]

I have been opera fan for some time now. I loved the way it looked. its speed, usability, reliability and the wealth of widgets and other utilities it comes with. IRC, emails, downloads and “The Wand” to name a few.

As I was using the beta version of its 9.x release, I could not wait to go ahead and install the Latest release of “Opera 9.5″. I was excited to try my hands on newly installed version of my favorite browser. I installed few widgets like weather, clock and to do lists; all in hope of enhancing my productivity. After the initial euphoria with the improved interface and shiny skin was over I discovered the harsh truth.

1. All My Bookmarks were deleted. Even All “Speed Dial” was no more. Blank page was laughing at me.
2. All Browser History was erased.
3. All the “Notes” were lost forever.
4. All My Email Accounts were erased. Emails I downloaded in last few weeks were gone.
5. All My Cookies & saved passwords have disappeared.

I recommend that you do not upgrade / download new version of Opera if you do not wish to lose your personal data. It is not worth it.

I did download the Firefox 3.0 the same day and It upgraded without a problem. The new sleek and sexy look of Firefox really rocks. I am seriously considering to discontinue all other browsers.  I strongly recommend that you get your hands on latest Edition of Firefox 3.0 as soon as possible.
