@Mlipka To prevent further duplication on this topic, I'd like to add the following:

Opera One has Flatpak build, which currently has 838,066 installs.

It's obvious that Flatpak builds provide great exposure to the browser.

If you've already decided that you'd keep developing Opera Air for years to come, I'd strongly suggest to release Opera Air as an official Flatpak build.

I consider immutable Linux OS such as Aeon Desktop or KDE Linux as promising alternative to Windows and Mac OS. Linux system that's minimal, simple, automated and Flatpak-driven.

@adriano-shimabukuro I'm glad to see you are enjoying boosts.
Honest question: how do boosts compare to listening classical music for focus?

@Mlipka

It's right that backporting can fix security issues. However, it could not always be the case, as failures are highly likely to happen. I believe, the best security strategy is to run Opera Air on the latest Chromium Stable version.

On the other hand, there is a risk of compatibility issues - some websites such as Canva won't load if browser runs Chromium several versions behind.

@Mlipka Show bookmarks Only on the new tab page - major browsers support it.
Basically, what happens is the following:
Bookmarks toolbar is visible only on the new tab page.
Once bookmark is clicked from the bookmark toolbar, bookmark toolbar auto-hides. The result - distraction-less browsing.

@Mlipka Yes, I'm aware with Opera One, that's why I mentioned Lingvanex. However, Opera One doesn't have selection translation. Frankly, I cannot use Aria for selection translation until it at least match Duck.ai privacy.

In the ideal scenario, we should have selection translation powered by Lingvanex as well.

I uninstalled Opera One for Opera Air. Please don't abandon Opera Air.

I'm reporting on Opera One on Windows.

Search tabs, Minimze, Restore Down, Close -
all these buttons should be clickable, even if we move
mouse pointer to the very top of the button:

Include More Built-in Ad-Blocking Lists

Such as:

AdBlock Warning Removal list
Peter Lowe's List
Easylist Cookie List

Search engine freedom to me sounds like this:
ability to delete some of the default search engines, add custom search engine (plus, ability to set is as default).

Out of the major Chromium-based browsers, only Opera (Air) runs on Chromium, that's several versions behind. Even Opera competitor, that has many features (but has lower than Opera's market share), doesn't run Chromium that's several versions behind.

First things first, thank you for creating Opera Air. Please, never stop maintaining this browser.

Opera Air speed dial allows to add only limited number of websites.
Consequently, it's essential to use bookmarks bar.
To reduce overwhelm (which I believe goes hand in hand with Opera Air idea), please introduce ability to show bookmarks only on the new tab page. Thank You.

@Mlipka said in opera air translator:

Hi @alikal

Thanks for feedback. Embedded translator might be a part of Opera Air onew day.

In the meantime, highly recommend to play with Aria. She can even summarize whole page for you.

For privacy reasons, I'd rather use Lingvanex not only for the full page but also for selection translation.

When it comes to Aria, it's great, but it should at least match Duck.ai when it comes to privacy. Just honest opinion.
