As for it’s security, if they just made security updates, there’s nothing about old Opera that should make you worry. Well, I didn’t expect this Opera update, that’s for sure. So, almost ALL of the addons I have in Firefox are because FF doesn’t like to put great features in vanilla browser and their current crusade of dumbing down everything. – uBlock Origin = 2nd actually useful addon, OO did not have this much and easy blocking system (though I managed to make it automatic with wget and batch file). – Tile View = OO had MDI (Multiple Document Interface) that handled this need. – Tab Scope (show tab thumbnails when hovering) = OO had this. – Super Start = better Speed Dial, OO had good one. – SearchIMDB = with OO one could customize context menus for everything. – S3.Google Translator = first in the list that is not about defeating bugs or design stupidity, great addition, even OO did not have this functionality. – Omnibar = started using this because FF URL bar had a strange bug/problem that added many seconds delay when searhing from the URL bar. – No Close Buttons = and again, one of stupidest moves by FF, they removed about:config setting for removing close buttons from tabs, what harm that setting did?! OO customization was super. – Drag-Select Link Text = I got this only because Netflix in its wisdom changed their website to crap -> could not select movie/series title text and select “search IMDb” from context menu. – Close Button (Adds a Close Tab button to the toolbar) = once again, how stupid to need an addon for this, OO could be customized like hell. – Click to Play per-element = Why isn’t this part of vanilla FF?! OO had it. – Add-ons Manager – Version Number = this is stupid, I need an 3rd party addon for this because FF hid the info. – Add-on Update Checker = why can’t I get just check¬ify for addons in vanilla FF?! No, it’s just no update (and no notification either) or automatically, stupid. – 2 Pane Bookmarks = Old Opera (OO from now on) had it. In fact, with old Opera, I did not need ANY addons. Best browser so far.Ĭurrently with my main browser Firefox, I have many many times shooked my head of how much addons I need that provide “basic” functions that old Opera had from the get go. And is everything related to other web-technologies up-to-date and fixed? Is JavaScript safe with this old browser? That comes to my mind first.
