Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable update

I've gone through so many installs and deinstalls of Opera, always hoping that it would live up to its promises, but I find this last issue with Flow is the nail in the coffin, actually.
Unfortunately the versions pre-One were still quite handy and good, although I remember there also being confronted with Flow issues, but the problems increased.
Opera is even in Developer one version behind the actual stable Chromium release.
For me It's going to be Vivaldi now. Or better: Returning to it, after I found Opera being the smoother and nicer experience. But these days are gone. I'm sorry.

@TheCelticCross I will remain on Opera because they'll keep uBO.

@pilis00 Actually, I left Vivaldi a few minutes ago because it was so laggy on my Windows laptop, whereas Opera mostly flies.
And the sidebar in Opera is much superior in my eyes.

@TheCelticCross same, I installed it last night to give it a try but it feels slower too, and also, they won't continue keeping uBO.

@pilis00 I used it before I turned to Opera three years ago. Back then I had some issues with my network that didn't apply to Firefox, Brave or any other browser.
For me, Vivaldi still feels unfinished and unpolished, although I like their ethos very much. I don't need the whole e-mail-thing in it. I'm working with webmail exclusively. So it feels redundant.
What I still like more is their stance on privacy, actually.

@pilis00 said in Opera 118.0.5461.60 Stable update:

they'll keep uBO

How do you know they'll keep it? It's said that they'll support it as long as possible (some standard reply). The 'possibility' will be known after update to 138.

Based on that article they posted 6 months ago:

For you, this means that you will be able to keep using extensions such as uBlock Origin uninterrupted, instead of switching to the more bare-bones version of uBlock Origin Lite.

and also taking account what @daria19 said, I'm quite sure it will remain in Opera even after June.

@pilis00 If there was an official blog about the support, then this is great. But I'm still a bit sceptic regarding this because it also depends on Chromium.
*Of course, it will remain after June because Opera is few versions behind. So in June Opera will be still on 135 or 136.

@andrew84 There is an official article they posted, from which I did send the quote:
