Shouldn't have killed Presto.
Sadly, it seems Presto was dying before the change. The last pre-WebKit Operas had problems with a large number of sites, Facebook included. Evidently most people who knew about the nuts and bolts of browser engine design had left the house, or could not keep up. Now at least the basic browsing works again.
Or maybe the web has become so complex that it is simply infeasible for a small project to field an independent browser engine.
