While I doubt this could be spun into a usable browser - legal issues aside, a lot has changed on the modern web, and the opera devs probably abandoned the old engine for a reason - I still greatly enjoy this leak. Even just out of defiance. I am a very defiant person ;-). I also long for the days where a browser fit on a floppy, and a small team could implement one from scratch.
- pmlnr 10y agoThe browser part I don't care. I want the mail client natively on linux from it :)
- StavrosK 10y agoI would pay for that.
- walkingolof 10y agohttps://vivaldi.com/ https://vivaldi.com/ Will pretty soon add a email client to their browser.
- StavrosK 10y agoI'm already using Vivaldi, hopefully the mail client will be good. Vivaldi isn't as fast as Opera was, but the web isn't what it used to be either...
- rasz_pl 10y agoThey didnt abandon old codebase because it was bad (it was leaner and faster than anything before and after :( ). They did it for economic reasons - taking advantage of all the google work on the blink means Opera "browser development" is currently nothing more than customizing a skin.
- Mithaldu 10y agoIf it's the complete browser, then it is perfectly usable. I am using it to make this post, i am using it as my mail client, and i use it as my primary browser, only shelling out to chrome for websites that drank too much of the js cool aid.
