- skrebbel 12y agoPretty sad, but as "another UI for Blink" without all the Googleness that Chrome has, it's a pretty damn awesome option. It still lacks a lot of the features that made Opera 12 nice, but it's also the best browser out there, IMHO - Chrome-like performance and standards support, without so much Google-sauce.
- mrweasel 12y agoWhile I would love just to have Opera 12 with the Blink rendering engine, I was rather baffled by Operas decision to drop Presto. I though that their core business was: "Making a small, good and fast rendering engine". That are they suppose to be selling now?
- tracksmer 12y agoTheir core business was making browsers in general. Being small isn't that much of an advantage anymore. They can now sell something that works reasonably well on most modern hardware.
