Did you only register to tell us, you're migrating?
Haha, wasn't originally the plan - I registered (again, because, as I understand, opera forums tend to delete old accounts) to join this topic and draw some developer's attention to the problem, having hope that they care. But then I scrolled over the forum a little, and understood that no one gives two farts in a martini, and that opera will never get back to normal design, or give us choice. It really smells like good old microsoft behavior - "eat what we give you". And it's Opera, browser I fell in love with exactly because it's always been so customizable that gave you ability to almost build your own browser. And now it's just an insult to the eye.
Also, Brave, having some issues on it's own, is at least open source.
And, in the end, what is my last argument as a user? Leave. Maybe that's how they hear me... Doubtfully, though.
Opera was an excellent and fast browser when it used the Presto engine. Since it used to have compatibility problems, it switched to WebKit and its performance became a disaster. I had to migrate to Firefox because browsing with Opera with that new engine was frustrating. I remember that the browser options loaded as if it were a website. If your connection wasn't fast, the browser was hell slow. It was like going from heaven to hell overnight.
Over time, Opera moved to Blink and regained its dignity... but the truth is that it basically became Chrome with more functions, which I personally didn't use or were available through extensions. In my tests I was surprised that Opera consumes more RAM and more CPU with about 20 active extensions compared to Chrome, when the opposite was popularly read. No way, goodbye Opera.
The only thing I miss are the shortcuts on the home screen, but you can install extensions for that. Complementing with bookmarks in Chrome is enough for me.
Otherwise, Chrome is between equal and better.
