Now you can choose to not use it instead of not being able to!
Yeah, I was using vivaldi before switching to Zen browser (a firefox fork with the sidebar as I like it.) The only thing I cared for was about that UI change.
i don’t remember anyone asking for this

Like I want chrome with more spyware. If I wanted that, I would glue a camera to my balls and livestream them 24/7.
I liked the real Opera, but you killed it. I don’t want that new thing.
I don’t use it and don’t plan on using it, but why would one really like to use it?
It has some neat features like a sidebar, built in adblocker and customization features. I also would never use it but I think it’s a good sign that Linux is being taken serious as a platform
Pretty sure Vivaldi has all of that. And they where on Linux from the start.
Yep. Vivaldi is the shit.
Isn’t it Chromium based and thus subject to whatever Google forces them to do with adblocking?
I don’t mean to kinkshame and people can use their own favourite browsers, but Firefox has good support for all three of those areas (adblocking is an extension though).
I would never use it as I said because of all the shit they did/do. However the google only blocked extension based adblockers not those on a browser level. These would be quite hard to block without closing down the chromium source code, which would also be hard as chromium is partially LGPL. The theming options in Opera GX are more accessible than userChrome.css with Firefox and they are more powerful than simply changing themes. The sidebar of the base Firefox has been really weak in my experience. Something like Zen+ubo however would be a more comparable (and better for that use case) option
Fuck Opera. Absolutely not. They can go right back out of Linux.
All major software ports to Linux are good to have. But yes fuck them.
More Chromium. Yay.

If a engine would force me to use a specific chrome based browser I would switch the engine…
That sounds like hell my friend.

I don’t know your exact use case, but I suspect that learning Godot might be very worth it. It’s a really intuitive engine.

I mean, you can have a look at recent merged PRs. With proprietary engines, you just don’t know.
Im still mad about the gamemaker licencing bullshit, i paid like $160 AUD for that, made plenty of little projects, and i cant get the actual executables to share anymore. I ended up ditching it for godot before this was an issue and came back to find it worthless now.
Not for me, but if it makes someone’s transition from Windows easier, alright 🤷
great. we came one step closer to the great wall of china
I wont be using it but something I want to say is that it’s weird that it took this long. The normal version of Opera has been available on Linux for a very long time now, I don’t know exactly how long but it’s been at least since prior to May 15, 2001, from what I could find (I saw a claim that it was released for Linux in Dec 31,1997, but there’s no proof). Ever since the release of Opera GX, there was a lot of discussion about when/if GX would be available for Linux and, from what I understand, a lot of the people who used Opera on Linux wanted GX. I just don’t understand why it took them this long to release a Linux version.
