Mac users, what made you switch to Opera?

I just came across this post by Microsoft Edge on X

In the comments, I noticed many people praising the Opera browser.
So, I installed it—and after using it for the first time, I was amazed.
How was I not aware of this before?

Please share your experience!

I saw an ad for in a Gohar Khan video, and I thought it was cool. I wasn't really a fan of Opera GX because of the fact that I wanted to get away from videogames. But when I realized that they incorporated some of the features from GX to the main browser and altered some of the gaming features, I saw on the ad how customizable and how you could organize stuff and now I'm using it. So far I have some complaints, like some buttons straight up don't work in menus, but overall this browser is nice.

@javedworkspace @javedworkspace I really like the visuals of the speed dials. Seeing where I'm going provides more info than just words, especially since some things I bookmark are similar.

I just wish my home page was working....

I saw a friend using it, and was attracted by the workspace function. I like having many tabs open, so it's very useful. Other functions like customisation, pinboards, flow, sidebar, etc are just bonuses.

Hmm. After a couple of days of a white home page (other than a fluttering weather graphic), it's now working (except for weather).

@javedworkspace (thanks for offer to praise Opera)
For years I have used another browser that I enjoyed. (not Safari, which I ditched after I was hacked in 2015)
I had a year of heartache trying to lot into my account side and could not_ It was a merry go round that eventually wore me down_
I tried Opera as I had not heard of it before (even though it has been around for years) I love the clean lines and so far so good.
I love the way it stores my searches on the screen with links that saves me buckets of time.
I would like more offers to save new passwords as I need to keep the old browser (599 passwords stored)

Thanks again. ReeRaff

Simple: it's the heir to the once venerable Nestcape that all of us old Mac fans preferred over Microsoft's Internet Explorer (yes, there was a Mac version of Microsoft's Explorer!)
