Very sad indeed, have been an Opera user since the very beginning. When IE's only feature was having bookmarks, Opera had tabbed browsing, mouse gestures, etc. It was a great browser designed by great people, not by some corporate design policy.
But I guess not everybody sees that :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Quotient_%28IQ%29_and_Browser_Usage https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligence_Quotient_%28IQ%29...
- baldfat 11y agoI switched to Vivaldi Browser https://vivaldi.com/ https://vivaldi.com/ It is founded by Opera Software co-founder and former CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita. Vivaldi aims to revive the old, popular features of Opera 12 and introduce new, more innovative ones. It was released on Linux day one. Runs V8 and Blink and you can use Chrome Extensions. Been a good ride so far and they in Beta 2 currently.
- jld89 11y agoThis looks good! Thanks for sharing. Are there extensions that don't run on it? The main extensions I'm interested in would be Hola VPN and Privacy Badger.
- lqdc13 11y agoHola VPN is really bad for privacy as it allows them to track which sites you go to. I'm guessing you're trying to mitigate that with Privacy Badger? That won't work as you are routed through them anyway. one of the sources: http://adios-hola.org/ http://adios-hola.org/
- benwilber0 11y agoGet rid of Hola
- Relys 11y agoIf a service is free, you are the product. Don't use Hola VPN...
- Sir_Cmpwn 11y agoUnfortunately, it's closed source. A closed source browser in this day and age is laughable.
- baldfat 11y agoChrome, Safari, Edge (IE), Opera (Which this thread is about) = Laughable? If this was a thread about replacement for Firefox sure, but not here.
- emergentcypher 11y agoClosed source. No thanks.
- tomkwok 11y agoIsn't Opera closed source?
