you had to make the chromium switch, i guess. you failed to create a new opera that captures the philosophy you advertised for the last 12 (for me) years.
goodbye!
if i wanted to use chrome, i would click on the icon named chrome and not opera.
not going to switch!! geez, why do you assume i want to switch?! a bit biased, don't you think? are you always this angry? just be patient until the dust settles and we see what the actual result is of the change to webkit/blink...
rip
what i think is that no other browser on earth will be able to quite reach the level of awesomeness that once defined opera, and that is quite sad. opera could be so huge if resources allowed it. i still remember the days when we talked about how opera was outperforming chrome with its software-accelerated vega graphics engine on peacekeeper and how everything was going to be so cool with the advent of hwa, marking opera as the only browser where the whole gui was hardware accelerated, etc. you know, there was a lot of buzz, enthusiasm. but somewhere along the way opera took a wrong turn i guess. anyway, i am sincerely sorry for the way that things had to work out, for whatever reasons.
wishing everyone the best.
regards.
