I fondly remember the old opera days, up until the latest presto version, 12.18. If you knew what you were doing, you were able to fully customize the entire browser, all of it’s toolbars and context menus, it was incredible.
Once they switched over to the Blink engine, all of that was lost. It’s entire USP gone, just like that.
I’ve tried Opera 2 or 3 years back, just to see what it is like, and it’s just another pointless chromium based browser, offering nothing to keep me using it, and the more i see posts and ads from this company, the more I feel like I made the right choice.
I’ve also tried the “spiritual successor” to Opera 12, Vivaldi, but it too couldn’t win me back over from Firefox.
