Farewell Opera?

If you switch: Your farewell message to Opera

  1. if you're going to become a chrome ripoff, i might as well use the actual chrome browser.
  2. you were unique and powerful, and i loved you so much :(
  3. you can either compete with google, mozilla, apple, and microsoft—all striving for as much market share as possible—and disappear, or you can stick to what made you exceptional—being the browser for power users by delivering all these great features mentioned above—and maintain a small but loyal community.
  4. goodbye
  5. thanks.
  6. it was a very comfortable and productive 13 years of browsing for me. you did a lot of building and customizing work for me, and now i have to tune firefox by myself.
  7. sad to lose this nice customization and fast browser.
  8. resistance is not futile. especially now that the html5 specs are almost final and hopefully everything on the www will be standard compliant; so that rendering problems will be only the engine's fault. to throw everything in the trash and just design a ui is funny to say the least considering a company with almost 1000 employees. i thought it would be only the engine and js. then the entire thing is just replaced?! the car analogy would be to not manufacture the car, just buy something stock and customize it; that is not manufacturing.
  9. thanks for the memories, but i prefer not to have google cataloging my entire internet experience.
  10. so disappointed, i chose opera for all it offered but it isn't opera anymore. i don't need another chrome clone, what's the point?
