- arp242 6y agoI still miss the old Opera, including the built-in email client I used. So yeah, I agree. Honestly, Opera is one of the best pieces of software I've ever used. It had tons of features and customizability without being slow or feeling "bloated". I never quite understood why it failed to gain marketshare 10 years ago while Firefox did.
