Opera sold to chinks for $600 million

>>55634137

How many usable browsers do we have now? 1.5?

What is it with the technological field's constant unwarranted fear of anything Chinese?

The fuck are they going to use your precious private data for? It's not like they can order drone strikes on you or SWAT you.

Nor are they building some global search engine based off your browsing habits.

Seriously it makes no sense for some Western web user to be afraid of Le Chinese Acquisition.

>>55634201
Firefox
Webkit based (chromium based/safari)
Internet Explorer based

On mobile, as long as they have built in adblock and Opera Turbo I don't really care who owns it.

Whenever I visit sites that require login, I always switch to another browser.

Opera is the only browser on android that isn't complete ass and flat out has a setting to force desktop sites (unlike say chrome that you have to activate it for every fucking site and then reload it).

>>55635589

Although it's shit since moving to Chromium base, I love Opera. Sad to see this. Looking forward to the development.

I can vouch for this. My gf (whose father is Taiwanese btw) spent June in Taiwan with her father's family. After her dad went back to New York, she got period cramps and wanted to get something for it. Her uncle and other family said they will take her to a clinic. They ended up taking her to a hospital instead. They gave her something to sign and she refused and wanted to leave. Her uncle signs it instead and they they eventually sedate her and apply meds. Keep in mind she's an adult who was enjoy conscious. This shit wouldn't fly here in North America. Taiwan? Fuck that. I can only imagine how bad mainland China is.

Soo, firefox is ran by sjw's and crome is botnet

Just to make it clear to everyone who has been saying Opera is Chinese since the announcement.

1) As today, Opera isn't owned by the Chinese, the deal failed. All this time, Opera has been Norwegian and the dev team have been from that country, working in that country too.

2) Right now, and until this new deal is approved, Opera still isn't owned by the Chinese. The deal will take a couple of months to be completed, and there is a chance it will fail too.

3) Whatever happen to Opera, the dev team will still be Norwegian until further notice.

>>55642192
How does discord has anything related?
You can run that shit on your browser, there is no need to install anything, bro

Also, you have that german alternative to chromium/chrome as it basically just https://github.com/gcarq/inox-patchset

Who cares, Opera's been dead for three years.

>>55634201
0. I want the times when Firefox AND Chrome were good back. When you had to pick which is better for you, not which is less worse. Just download earlier versions of Chrome(before 15) and see for yourself: fast, uncluttered, wonderful. What made me switch in the first place. Now even the new tab page takes a second to load and routinely breaks and displays IRRELEVANT pages, not the ones you visit the most.

I have been making my own browser from scratch with my own rendering engine for about a year now everyday based on /g/ needs, it needs more work but it'll be released in a few months. Omega web browser, Alpha rendering engine. It is built for speed and security, meaning all older SSL and SSLv3 exploits are patched out and all the shit that Chrome does is blocked. I used Firefox before it, I liked it but Gecko was too fucking slow and it had telemetry and spyware in it. My browser is licensed under a non cuck license, GPLv3 and LGPLv3 with some MIT.

If this is true, then about time someone on /g/ did something about this shit

Seriously, what were the Vivaldi devs thinking with their UI design?

Anyone remember how quickly you could go backwards and forwards with the Presto Opera?

How hard can it be to implement that again into a new browser? Why not cache the fucking website in RAM and then just load it up again? How hard can it be?

Why do I have to do everything myself for fucks sake?

Is this compatible with chrome's extensions sense it basicly is chrome?

Chrome is fucking me over kind of hard right now with no real way to fix it, so looking for alternatives that may work.

So fucking sick of process grouping and no idea how to turn it off again, apparently that's not the term i'm looking for so searching comes up with dick. Would love to move off it, but some extensions I don't want to live without, a few vivaldi i think has built in.

I just want a non-Firefox browser with high DPI support. How fucking hard is it to implement it?

>>55647386
Just downloaded it. Tried to log in to YouTube. The login page took 10 seconds to load.

>>55634137
Thanks for the heads up, removed everywhere.

Protip: On 6.0+ Android Samsung phones ABP has released a plugin for "Internet" - which is basically Chrome. So now you have iOS like very fast ad blocking and browsing.

Firefox Beta is not that bad either with uBlock.

>>55647772
Okay that's dumb.
It's literally Blink engine, same as Chrome.

What about your DNS, internet?
Vivaldi UI is a bit tad slow, I do agree, but the engine/page load?

>>55638755
What's the point in using Vivaldi when you can just use a firefox fork?

>>55647796
Hmm, I just tried loading their forums. Vivaldi takes ~4 seconds to load boards and topics, while Firefox takes ~4-5.
Internet isn't great because I'm basically in Africa right now. It seems like Vivaldi taking 10 seconds to load the login page was some weird anomaly.
I wish Vivaldi supported high DPI, though. That UI is tiny on my screen.

Pale Moon is literally the only good browser.

>>55647862
True. I can't see any reason to not use it.

>>55647850
>User Interface Zoom
oops, nevermind
I'll be using it as a secondary browser for now.

Period cramps don't exist in Asia.
It's an entirely Western phenomenon and a textbook example of mass hysteria (which women are especially prone to)
Here in Japan women never complain about such things because they don't exist.
American women "get cramps" because they think they're supposed to. This is how vagina logic works

So they probably thought your gf was an insane American bitch, because she is

>>55647927

>>55647979
There is none. I used it before it copied the chrome look and switched over to palemoon.

>>55647850
It definitely sounds like a network problem.
The lack of Sync is my second biggest gripe.

But, the vertical tab list and all the configurations/gestures/options are nice to have.

>>55648035
I must say, I almost creamed myself when I opened the settings and checked out the snapshot changelogs later. I love being able to customize everything about anything I use.
I'll stick with Firefox for now, but I'll probably start slowly migrating soon.
Are the snapshot releases stable enough?

How's this news? They did buy it a couple of months ago..

>>55648057
>Are the snapshot releases stable enough?
For me, they were. Vivaldi also supports the "continue where you left off", so you know, once it crashes, everything you had will be re opened.

Of course, doing serious banking stuff - should not be done on a snapshot build - even though I only had crashes on opening pages for the first time. I just always open an IE when I have to do banking.
