A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

It used to be great... A truly innovative browser that had so many features that even browsers today don't have.

I switched away from it when they switched to the Blink engine, probably around 2012 or so? It's been all downhill since then.

Same, used Opera religiously back in the day, so much more functional than the rest. Switched to Chrome (yes yes, I know) when it started going downhill.

Chrome still doesn't have the ability to set a shortcut for "switch to previous tab", have to use a plugin for that 🙄

Try Vivaldi, it's made by former opera Devs from before opera became Chinese

It's good but I don't want to contribute to the HTML/Webkit/Blink monoculture. We need multiple browser engines in the world. That's one of the reasons I use Firefox.
