خداحافظی بەرزەنگ؟

you took the best browser in the world and turned it into nothing more than a skin for chromium. you similarly messed up opera mobile. i used opera because it provided advanced features that no other browser had and was also incredibly customizable. chromium does not seem like a suitable base for opera as it is designed to promote minimalism and a universal interface. i really, really hope that you open source opera 12.15 or at the very least the presto engine so that it may have a new life in the open source community, where it can be developed according to a truer opera philosophy. i am in the process of switching to firefox, but even that will never be able to offer the same level of functionality as opera.

=(

it shouldn't have to be like this.

i've used opera as my sole browser for over half of my life, and it has done a lot for me. it's sad it's come to this, but you can't provide the features i want. it was great while it lasted. ~phil

so long and thanks for all the fish.

it was a nice ride. being productive while browsing the web will be so much harder from now on.

if i wanted chrome/chromium, i would have been using chrome/chromium years ago. i love opera for its ui, stability, and responsiveness. what i hoped for with the move to blink was to gain the rendering/javascript speed and stable hwa & plugins. instead, opera next is showing me that there's very little that opera has left to offer anymore on the desktop compared to its competition.

i really don't know why all these changes are occurring. i'm not sure what browser i'll use. i'll probably never upgrade and stay with opera 12.

it's not so much that i'm leaving opera, it's that opera will have left me.

don't just turn opera into a themed version of chrome.
