@kghn "The .deb installer I downloaded from opera.com didn't work" what does that mean, what are the errors?
I downloaded opera 45 from ftp: https://ftp.opera.com/ftp/pub/opera/desktop/45.0.2552.898/linux/ and install on Debian 9.2: dpkg -i opera-stable_45.0.2552.898_i386.deb
Everything works fine. Debian 4.9.51-1 (2017-09-28) i686 GNU/Linux

just wanted to say thanks for this recommendation
I'm running Xubuntu 16.04.2 on a bunch of x86 machines I have lying around, and didn't think there were any versions higher than Opera 12.
but your installation worked for me, and I'm happy to have a decently updated version.

also regarding something from earlier...
why I use Opera over the rest is because of it's security and low memory use.
as far as I'm aware, most other browsers just don't compare.
also, most of my PCs have 2GB with only a few having 4GB (I have nothing higher)
and I believe Opera still uses less memory than FireFox.

anyways, hopefully my use will help spur development back up, as there's many reasons 32bit PCs are still used.
security is pretty much the only reason the 32bit build should ever see an update...
like how M$ had to patch XP a final time for a major flaw.

Will go with it anyway (no other choice) …

Ouch!
Then use V7 Bookmarks, it keeps folders and bookmarks tree.

Waw, perfectly exported. Thanks

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.

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, that’s 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 don’t need), I will go for Chromium, although I’m not fan of its paranoid political orientation, however neither that of Opera since it became adblock and anti‑payment 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, I’m afraid that’s just dreaming …

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)

At least in latests versions.

If you are in an older one, look into //Flags

Nope I only have flags for “detect duplicate bookmarks” and “remove duplicate bookmarks”.

But don’t 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 .

Bookmark exporting was added in opera 47, so yes, it should appear on 32bit version as well

How can it appear in 32bit Opera if it is stopped developing on version 45?

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 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 can’t find it in the menus.

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, that’s enough for me (I just hope it can import Opera’s bookmarks).

Yes,
You can import them.

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

Buying a new computer is still expansive.

run: opera --disable-update

Thank you! It works!

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

That's right! Thank you! I installed it.

sudo apt-get install chromium-browser

E: Package 'chromium' has no installation candidate

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.
