Old Opera was something else entirely - the fastest browser available, with features which still don't entirely exist in modern browsers even with extensions, like mouse gestures. Then it switched engines and got sold to some Chinese company.
The modern reincarnation isn't called Opera, it's Vivaldi. I didn't use it because it was too slow (implementing the old Opera features on Chrome must have been difficult).
- mrweasel 3y agoIt's still a little sad that they discontinued the Presto based version of Opera. I used it pretty exclusively from around 2006 until the switch to Blink in 2013. I really liked the developer tools, the UI and speed. I can see why it couldn't continue, keeping up with Chrome must have been a huge financial burden with very little profit.
