Opera 16 is out but ... still "wait & see"

Opera has released the version 16.0 but the CONs are still well over the PROs since the change to the new rendering engine based on Chrome

As a consequence, Soft2base remains with version 12 until Opera fixes this.

Long term, Opera may be removed from the catalog due to this lake of quality...
