skipped a few numbers to v15 and has a new engine-- the same one in Firefox.

The problem is that it lost a lot of the features that made it special and so far doesn't even have them as extensions. In v12 we need very few extensions because most of the good stuff is built in.

The tiny percentage of us still using it wait with bated breath to see how it works out. As it is, I have to use Firefox for some sites that are ridiculously complex and can't be handled by Opera 12, so I'll see what happens.
