Description Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-07-05 17:18:03 UTC
I think we can (almost) remove Opera from the blacklist now, see blocking bug 36000. Opera < 12 should still probably be blacklisted, though, and < 10 should be blacklisted for sure (there's a bunch of people who insist that 9.64 was the ultimate version ever and stick to it).

It'd be cool if it could be added to the whitelist as well, but I guess that would be a promise to support it and you guys probably don't want to promise that ;)

Very happy to add to the whitelist if you're sure that everything works perfectly. It's not a state a browser can only reach if supported by WMF, if you want to commit to doing that. The comprehensive testing is quite a high bar, however - does Opera now cope with everything at mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Basic_example_worksheet ?

Note that the Presto engine-based Opera 12.x is being end-of-lined; the new Opera 15 is Chromium-based.

Is it worth worrying about Opera 12.x compatibility?

There is no release date or anything apart from a very early alpha of Opera 15 (which basically does nothing apart from showing pages). I'd say Opera 12 still has a bit of time before it.

Still, objectively, maybe it's not. But I care personally. :)
Comment 4 Bartosz Dziewoński 2013-07-29 21:58:10 UTC
It was unblacklisted in the now-merged Ia80a6f53.
