It's like I'm really using Chrome! Although probably everyone saw this coming - it's just a skin of Chromium. They just took a few months to make a new mail client and put Opera icons everywhere.
- faaaah 13y agoIt's not just a skin. It's a new interface remade from scratch. And unlike Chrome it's actually native. Must have been a massive undertaking. The new email client seems to be the old Opera only with browsing features removed. Must have been a quick job. So on both of these it's the opposite of what you are claiming...
- gtklocker 13y agoWhat do you mean native? How is this more native than Chrome?
- nuttendorfer 13y agoA recent change in Chrome I've noticed are menus and context menus. They are no longer native and I guess they resemble ChromeOS' menus.
- ksec 13y agoIt doesn;t allow Tab Overflow or any other UI features suggest to me this is nothing more or a Rework of Skin instead of a whole new UI rewritten from scratch.
- faaaah 13y agoPet features not being implemented yet doesn't mean it's a skin. Read what the Opera devs are writing instead of speculating.
- dubcanada 13y agoOh yes, cause that's clearly all they have been doing. Not completely changing their entire business, learning how Chromium works, building their mobile version, changing a complete theme, separating mail client, I could go on and on but I think you get the picture. You clearly don't develop software, if you think all they did the last 3 months is add icons.
- iopq 13y agoI do develop software, which is why I understand why it wasn't possible to just change things under the hood. This was inevitable when you think about it, you can't change to a new codebase and expect to have any of the old features that don't exist in Chromium.
