By Krystian Kolondra, EVP browsers 2020 is on, and at Opera, we are already working at full speed on new things for everyone who wants a better browser.   This year we skipped the traditional new year’s resolutions, but it’s good to reflect for a moment and recap what happened in 2019.  In the browser division,…

But what about all those egregious micro-lending Opera apps you've released in third world countries?.. It's hard to imagine that 300+% interest rates on loans would be good to those impoverished people in Africa and South America...

your userbase chart looks great, because it only reflects 2 3/4 years. your graphs are a nice way to construct the appearance of substancial growth.

look at the desktop browser market-share compared with other browsers, barely anything has changed for Opera from 2009 to 2019. Certainly, the numbers reflect a slight DECLINE in market share.

the share was even higher in the year 2009 than it was 2019.

@eliotcougar They have nothing to do with the browser as far as I know.

@leocg Ummm... The official Opera website says the opposite:

Why you didn't write about the removed features (like QuickAccess feature) and spoiled features (video pop-out and less functional address bar without search engines choice).

Supporting Opera Neon in 2020 would be fantastic and I would use an Opera browser again.

Would be Opera Neon "under wraps"?

@kened Yes, as long as that browser has the same proposed bubble instead of tabs experience.

In 2020 there are no plans to add notes functionality (sorted in catalogs and synchronized in the Opera account)?

My proposals for changes in Opera (Google Document).

@eliotcougar Where? It's a different product, not related to the browser as the site shows.

Opera Touch for iOS getting Syncing should be top priority. I can't even use bloody Opera anywhere because it syncs nothing with my other systems, rendering it entirely useless. That thing to send links and notes is entirely useless and pointless. Opera Mini for iOS that had Syncing but got sacked so now I'm left with nothing on iPhone. I used to really like Opera and it was one of first browsers to have syncing back in Presto days. Now I can't even use it. Wasted potential.

@leocg: It's the same company, the same owners.

If you are willing to support owners who use predatory loan apps in poor countries to make money, good on you.

It's little bit sad that after all these years, you are so used to licking Opera's buttholes that even this is " fine" in your books.

@richardv The products are made by different people. The post is about Opera browsers, so let's stay on topic.

please make smooth scrolling available for linux as well like firefox. I love opera but was forced to switch to firefox for lack of smooth scrolling support for linux. I understand there would hardly be any linux opera users, so this might be put on back burner. But when it happens I am coming back to opera as it love it. its the best browser ever..

I read something about work-spaces coming to Opera Desktop where tabs would be grouped. I am one of those who works with many tabs open. This would be the feature I'd love to have prioritised.
