For about two months I hardly opened Otter, because it was inconvenient and clunky for me to use it. Now with the new release I decided to write a thorough critique, and to know properly what I am criticising, I did some testing on the new release.
Now I must say I am impressed with the progress. Specifically, there were
keyboard shortcuts built into Otter that drastically conflicted with my usage. I had to delete the default shortcuts completely. There was no other way. And the empty setup file that was left, it didn't work for me two months ago. Now I went through the setup file again and I saw many more actions. I found what I needed, I assigned keyboard shortcuts and got much working. This process has its glitches, but the browser became usable again keyboard-wise and I am thankful for the good work

Other things that impress me in this release:
Adblock (content blocking) under right-click menu. It brings up a dialogue where to manage tick adblock lists on and off. In the profile folder I also found the adblock.ini and the lists as plain text files. This was quite likely the ideal way to build the adblock. Very Opera-like. Absolutely genius.
Opera bookmarks import. Tried it. Smooth, fast, and flawless. Trash gets duplicated as a real folder, but this is actually how it should be, because if there's something in Trash, then it
is another folder with bookmark items in it. The process works far better than in Qupzilla. Even the bookmark keywords get transferred and work immediately. Pure brilliance.
Quick Bookmarks Access under Shift+F2. This opens a small dialogue where you type the bookmark keyword and you will fly to the destination. Works precisely like it originally used to in Opera. This will be certainly worth a mention when advocating Otter to others.
Menu items display corresponding keyboard shortcuts. When keyboard shortcuts are changed under Tools -> Preferences -> Advanced -> Keyboard, the changes are immediately reflected in the menus. A very nice Opera-like touch.
about:config has grown a lot. Keep growing!
My critique will have to wait
