goodbye to a now squandered effort. whoever came on board at opera with their 'new' ideas, dump her/him, and stay proud to be norwegian, because with opera next you're relinquishing everything that made you different and in most cases better. now you're just another chrome clone.
sometimes in the old days - the 90's - i'd search for opera wanting opera software, but the results always came up with the singing kind of opera, with our opera showing, sure, but way down below. then opera software rose:
meanings of opera:
opera is a western performance art which combines music and drama.
opera (web browser) - opera is a web browser and internet suite developed by opera software with over 300 million users worldwide.
opera software, a norwegian software company.
(that was from duckduckgo's search result)
and in a few years, best guess? no need to spell it out, methinks. nex
great choice to make opera just a clone of chrome. not! give back at least the features most demanded by the users and customization options, and i will consider downloading opera again.
unfortunately, it seems that the features that made opera great were there by accident and not intentionally.
you had a great product with the presto engine; switching to chromium just makes you another skin.
sorry to see you go.
why???
i'm not going to switch now, i'm hoping for the best.
