This is design issue, inefficient data structures, lazy programming etc.
Im affraid tabs taking 2MB(two megabytes for a page with javascript, not 20, not 200, two) like in the good old Opera 12.16 wont come back :(
- sengork 10y agoI agree, the Presto engine was (and still is) super efficient. We may see something similar come out of the Vivaldi project which is headed by folk who led the Opera <= v12 development who know very well what was lost when Opera moved to Chromium based web engine.
- rasz_pl 10y agoNo. Vivaldi like new Opera is just a skinning project. They made UI slightly better, added some missing functionality (mostry tabs and gestures), but they do not touch core engine. Case in point fresh Vivaldi on startup makes 4 connections to Google just to say hi, and will keep sending google delicious pieces of data throughout the day, not to mention hardcoded google DNS in case yours is too slow. How about spamming my local network with chromecast UDP garbage? or enumerating shares on startup? WTF would you even do that? Ps I use Vivaldi :/.
- sengork 10y agoI suspect that you know of this already, but here it is anyway: https://otter-browser.org/ https://otter-browser.org/ Personally I still have Opera 12.18 installed on every computer as it still is the most swiss-army-knife browser out there for countless reasons. Most of the webpages can be made to work properly in it by adjusting the site preferences. One thing I am yet to see any of the new browsers be capable of is complete popup blocking. Opera 12.x excelled at this and a complete blackout of popups is 100% achieveable.
