In Opera 6 (and I think in the beta versions of 7) it used to be smaller than the Internet Explorer default font size.  Then in the early versions of 7 they set it to be roughly equal to the IE default font size.  And now it&#8217;s back again to small.  Make your mind up, guys.<\/p>\n<p>Secondly, they seem to have changed the point at which a web page&#8217;s stylesheet is applied.  Now, as I watch a page loading, I get a brief (sub-second) flash of what it looks like without any css formatting.  It seems to take just a fraction of a second longer to apply the style sheet in this version, but it is noticeable, and it is annoying.<\/p>\n<p>I suppose it&#8217;s possible that this allows people with slow &#8216;net connections to see at least part of the page&#8217;s content before the stylesheet itself is fully downloaded.  But on a broadband connection it feels jarringly crude, like a throwback to the last generation of browsers, where page elements would jumble and rearrange themselves madly before landing in their final configuration.<\/p>\n<p>Hmm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I installed <a href=\"http:\/\/www.opera.com\/\">Opera 7.10<\/a> earlier this evening, and I can&#8217;t say that I&#8217;m entirely happy with it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-610","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-opera"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=610"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/610\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=610"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=610"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sunpig.com\/martin\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=610"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
