@erdinc53 Vivaldi, Edge, Firefox, Chrome, they all have full syncing capabilities, it's not apple in this case.

@erdinc53 I use Edge on both Android and iOS, the only difference is the lack of extensions on iOS, while there are few on the Android version.
Everything else 1:1
Same is valid for Vivaldi. Sync works. -

Me for my part, I hope that such developments don‘t take ressources from their main browser. -

@Himmelssheriff99 I guess the browsers are simply for different audiences.

@leocg Probably, but I wouldn't mind a blend of both in a way, as I really like the design.
I guess it may go the way of Opera Crypto in the end, giving One-users the opportunity to enable the Air-stuff in the former version.
I'd say for me it is very important though, that the development of Opera One doesn't suffer from the efforts für GX and Air, but that it rather gains from their insights and special features. -

I like the look and feel of Opera Air. I was surprised that it offered to import all data from competing browsers but not from Opera One. This may imply that Opera doesn't want it current user-base to move to Opera Air, but it still surprised me.
Also, I see that Tab Islands are not implemented (yet) in Opera Air. This may be deliberate because adding Tab Islands may lead to cluttering the interface, something Opera Air is trying to get away from. However Workspaces have been implemented. -

I have been a long-time fan of the Opera browser. However, I didn't really like its updated version, so I used the old 99 build for a long time. I saw Opera Air and it inspired me. I've been using this browser as my main one for a week now. But I've noticed that it often freezes. Moreover, my computer (MS Office and other applications) slows down because of the browser, which is impossible for a PC with a Ryzen 3600 and 16 GB of RAM. I kindly ask the developers to improve AIr faster, because I do want to continue using it.
