I'm fine with old version. But every update of chromium-codes breaks it. Is there any way around this without keeping old codecs with security vulnerabilities? (Ubuntu 16.04 LTS i386 here)

kghn last edited by@sgunhouse I'm working with an older machine (AMD Athlon XP 1800+ 1.53 GHz, 640M RAM, (originally ran XP) now running Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS 32-bit. I've got a topic open at https://forums.opera.com/topic/23262/xubuntu-16-opera-12-16-browser-menu-stubborn-light-green-text-problem-how-change , and you just posted a good lead there for me. My plan for the next thing to try is to remove Opera and Firefox, install a desktop theme, re-install Opera 12.16, and report in with my results.

Unlike chrome, chromium is opensource, so distros package it in both 32 and 64 bits, so yes, chromium is available in 32bit.
Which distro do you use?I use Xubuntu 16.04.

This command doesn't work.
Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information... Done
Package chromium is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source
However the following packages replace it:
chromium-bsuE: Package 'chromium' has no installation candidate

My bad, the package is named chromium-browser, so the right command is
sudo apt-get install chromium-browser -

I know and I use Vivaldi, but still much short of Opera. Unfortunately, on an old laptop I have no choice but to stay Vivaldi.
How does Vivaldi compares to Opera? Is this exactly the same JavaScript, CSS and DOM support? I need to be able to test for Chrome like browser and I only have a 32 bits machine, so if Vivaldi uses the same core as Chrome and Opera, thatās enough for me (I just hope it can import Operaās bookmarks).

Most Linux distros and all operating systems are leaning to 64-bit. Hardware now a days is all 64-bit now.

Yes,
You can import them.If you run into problems, just export them from Opera as Html, then Import in Vivaldi.

Precisely, I was wondering how to export to HTML from Opera, I canāt find it in the menus.

At least in latests versions.
If you are in an older one, look into //Flags

Bookmark exporting was added in opera 47, so yes, it should appear on 32bit version as well
About vivaldi.
Vivaldi is one more electron-based app. That (electron) is the reason of its huge ui customizability. Imho, the electron apps of today are what the java ones were ~10 years ago. Apps that are simple to make because they use a simple language/toolkit, but they are very demanding on resources. The onliest electron app I used to have was skypeforlinux, which I threw away once it reached version 9.x and became even worse than before.If you want a chromium-based browser to test your pages, why not use plain chromium? Almost all distros build it for 32bit and have it in their repos.

How can it appear in 32bit Opera if it is stopped developing on version 45?
As for Vivaldi it is very slow on my Asus EeePC. Better to use Chromium. It has 32bit version. -

Nope
I only have flags for ādetect duplicate bookmarksā and āremove duplicate bookmarksā.But donāt mind, I exported with a plugin, its only issue is it did not care about folders and flattened every things. Will just have to reorganise it all

As for Vivaldi it is very slow on my Asus EeePC. Better to use Chromium. It has 32bit version.I already tested Chrome and it is was more huge than Opera, thatās why I used Opera. But if Vivaldi is not a good option (I quickly tested it and not really liked it, too much gadgets I donāt need), I will go for Chromium, although Iām not fan of its paranoid political orientation, however neither that of Opera since it became adblock and antiāpayment propagandist, anyway.
I wish we could have applications designed for users, not designed to drag people with political delirium. But since the typical web user is not willing to pay a single cent for anything immaterial, Iām afraid thatās just dreamingāÆā¦
Firefox is neither a good option for the same reasons (political delirium) and it really quickly consume a lot of memory
There is not good alternative (anyway, Opera was perfect only at its early age)
