The old Opera versions using the Presto engine were truly amazing. Now they’re just a Chromium skin, just like Vivaldi, Brave and others, adding more and more crap like crypto wallets and other shady stuff.
Back then they were important to keep the web’s standards high and corporations in check and compatible to each other. Big props to the original Opera.
I use Opera. Built-in ad/tracker blocker, cookie destroyer, free vpn and much more features. All chrome extensions work with opera.
In 2016, Opera was acquired by an investment group led by a Chinese consortium. :(
Wut! Damn, can’t have anything good anymore these days… Thanks for the info. Now I’m sad.
I know… I was saddened to find this out.

Vivaldi is a chromium browser from the OG opera guys I believe.
