@dan They did try to bring back some stuff in the later years, like an integrated RSS feed reader. But Firefox is just way better than anything else overall. Including the fact that it comes from an organization that puts privacy further up in the list of priorities.
Comment on Stop using Opera Browser and Opera GX
dan@upvote.au 9 months agoIt 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.

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.

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 🙄
