It’s not crystal clear to me either, however them disabling hardware acceleration on default while the browser is still in an alpha phase significantly reduces the number of people testing it, thus less bugs will be uncovered and less fixes provided. So that is why I think it’s possible or maybe even probable that Opera 12 will launch with HWA/WebGL disabled on default. And also, I’m not criticizing Opera out of hate, but out love… I’ve been using this bug infested, slowly developed, goofy looking mess of a browser with it’s large share of half-assed feature implementations for far too long to quit on it now, especially seeing that it’s finally on it’s way up. And I probably wouldn’t be able switch browsers even if I wanted to, simply because of how much I’ve gotten used to the way Opera works.
