Opera in the late 90s / early 00s was such a great browser though. It was one of the first to adopt tabs, had a very responsive and slick UI compared to the competition, and the rendering engine was fast and fluid, though sadly not well supported or compatible. Even the built-in email client was decent, and much better than the one in Netscape Communicator from what I remember. Being share/adware was always a problem, but it was my main browser for a couple of years back then. Opera Mini was also excellent on pre-iPhone devices.
Nowadays I wouldn't come near it, mostly because it's proprietary software owned by a company with shady business practices.
Still, this is great news and should be applauded FWIW.
- forgotmypw17 6y agoOpera 3.62 and 12.14-12.16 are still great browsers and I still use them sometimes.
- uncoder0 6y agoMaybe I'm being naive but why would you use such an old browser? There seem to be many vulnerabilities. https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2012-6470/ https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2012-6470/
- forgotmypw17 6y agoI would use them because they are nice and a pleasure to use. I don't care about the vulns when I'm only browsing my own or trusted websites or localhost.
- f15h 6y agoCVE-2012-6470 should have been patched (in some of the last Presto builds) if I remember correctly.
