Sheesh, Opera remember when Opera was the best choice for users with slow internet? Remember the great built-in email client and XMPP clients? Now...this?
The company that owns Opera nowadays is pretty shady, I'd never trust their code to run on any of my devices.
Honestly, Vivaldi is the single best Chromium-based browser. Sad it doesn't get more recognition.
True enough, though you can't deny their features are quite unique. The day Firefox adds tab tiling will be pure bliss.
The only problem with Vivaldi is that it's proprietary...
True. Haven't even been to their landing page in more than a decade. Haven't ever used Vivalda either.
The tab stacking and visual mouse gestures were awesome back in the day! I'd never use a modern Opera product (and stopped after they switched to Chromium) unfortunately the company that owns it made a bunch of money through predatory payday loan apps in a few developing countries.
Oh yeah I totally forgot about gestures. That was a neat feature at the time.
If Opera had stayed in its lane, it would be pretty much Vivaldi.
