I've been a lifelong Opera user and given the current situation (it's dying), I am considering Firefox the only viable alternative. I've never even liked having chrome on my computer, and in fact I would not be surprised if Google simply dropped chrome as a product, leaving it to the hands of the open source community anyway. They've abandoned many good products and dropping chrome wouldn't surprise me. Then again, maybe I am bitter, I thought Opera would be around forever.
- lucb1e 14y agoWas it ever not dying? I liked the browser, but the lack of support and incorrectly rendering websites got me off of it after at most one evening. (I tried a few times.)
- dgesang 14y agoPlease, don't swap the facts. Opera (Presto) was conform to the standard, but most web developers focused only on webkit and implemented too much browser-specific code.
- dubcanada 14y agoI use Opera pretty much 100% and I've very rarely found any issues that would not have been issues in the other browsers. The only problem is some people seem to think every single CSS3/HTML5 feature needs to be prefixed with -webkit- to work.
- dgesang 14y agoIt is not dying. It had have around 2% market share for the last couple of years and it will stay in that region for next years. It might even get more user due to the recently announced shift to Webkit and its increasing popularity on mobile devices. Just keep using it. If you need Chrome as a 2nd browser you should consider using any of the Chromium forks available. E.g. I use Comodo Dragon. cheers
