Opera is faster than Chrome but I cant take the random crashing. Chrome is much more stable

No it isn't, dumbass. It's literally the same browser underneath.

No it isn't, dumbass. It's literally the same assembly underneath.
yeah opera is pretty comfy since it cough up to chrome, i rather take the Chinese botnet then the usa botnet
>>54376082
maybe it is the time to move from pale moon
>>54376082
Any firefox add-on similar to this?
Sounds great for studying.
Opera is a great choice if you love getting 0day'd

>>54376634
Seriously, go on and try it. I'm addicted already.
>>54376710
No.
>>54375139
Just downloaded it on my Arch machine and on Windows, why does the Windows build look so much better? The Linux build looks like it's just an uglier version of vanilla Chromium.
>>54376570
Use Yandex browser. Way faster than other botnets. Russian programmers are the best programmers.
Which filterlist(s) are they using?
Can custom lists be added?
Holy fuck. Just installed Opera after using Chrome for years and finally, I can say that Opera is pretty good. Thank god it can use Chrome extensions
>>54375139
does that VPN werks on 4chan ban?
>inb4 hurr durr restart reouter
So should I bother installing this?
Last time I used Opera was before they removed the bookmarks with that update.
>>54377060
why don't you try ;^)
>>54377069
>So should I bother installing this?
It's literally chrome+adblock. What's the fucking point. If it used a rendering engine better than Webkit then maybe, but as it is...
>>54377125
Don't forget pop-out videos m8
opera is best browser, better than chrome by far
>>54377081

>>54377348
Yes you can..
>>54376854
>implying they can write anything but spaghetti with their slavrunes
>>54377060
No. All of the IPs owned by Opera's VPN are banned on 4chan.
>>54377350
No it doesn't. They showed comparisons in dev blogs and it was still slightly faster/less ram. This adblocker is written in low level language, not JS so there will always be and advantage. It is still very basic though, you for instance can't add new lists so you should stick to ublock for now anyway.
>>54376679
Opera is chrome
>>54377421
crap.. watcha gonna do to avoid 4chin bans?
They should add ad blocking capability for iOS, otherwise I'll continue to use UCBrowser.
>>54377449
You could tether your computer to your phone.
>>54376082
>Been using opera since its move to chromium
>Just updated to 37
Its beautiful
I just tried this, its worse than uBlock Origin.
Anyway I actually ended up liking Opera better than Firefox now, so I'm gonna stick with it for now. I got most of my userscripts and add ons working but I'm still missing a NoScript add on, is there any good available?
>another webkit based browser
who fucking cares
you might use chrome as well
>>54378309
Either download the one directly from the EFF's website or use uMatrix if you want more fine-tuning.
Shitposting while watching my country becoming great.
Using Nvidia's Adaptive Vsync causes screen tearing while watching videos on Opera.
Using Nvidia Inpsector you can search for the Opera profile and force the standard Vsync mode for it without having to change it on the global setting.
Just letting people know because I had this problem.
>>54378642
is that a feature ?
>>54378642
the future is now
>>54378866
yes
>>54378879
Thanks i just noticed it on youtube now. Thanks!
>>54378866
Yes, the only place it didn't work was Twitch
>>54376663
Can you even prove whatever point you're trying to state or
So what are some nice extensions for Opera?
>>54378927
It only works with HTML5 video. Twitch is still Flash for the video.
>>54379043
That explains why it's so shitty
>>54377060
All VPNs are banned unless you use an obscure one that hasn't been banned yet
>>54377449
Try not getting banned? If you're getting banned for obvious shitposting, good.
>>54379043
>Twitch is still Flash for the video.
why the fuck
>>54375139
Literally chrome reskin.
>>54379043

>>54377348
Not with that atitude.
>>54379177

It is the best browser on the market. Fastest and with unique, cool as fuck features.
>>54377125
>It's literally chrome+adblock

Yes it is. GTFO
>>54379496

How many features from old Opera is it still missing though?
>>54375139
Why does the Linux build look like such shit?
>>54380603
Everything looks like shit on linux
>>54380603
>linux
>good ui

>>54380636
Every other browser looks the same.
And KDE looks better than the Windows DE.
>>54380673
>KDE
>looks better than anything
Opera 38 will add the ability to add custom lists too
Remember to click manage exceptions to delete some default exceptions Opera has there
>>54376854
Yandex >>>>> Google
speaking from personal experience
yandex mail is GOD tier, and so is music, maps, market and of course search
>>54380664
But that has nothing to do with the kernel and everything to do with the developers. Opera devs were just lazy sacks of shit and didn't put any effort into one of their builds.
>>54380828
putin pls go
>>54380877
that's what you get with 3% market share
>>54380751
But ublock already does that for me.
>>54380931
just saying in case people want to use the native one
>>54380927
Stop your memeing, it's not like it would be difficult for the devs to have the same UI on all systems.
>>54380927
Actually they have ~1.75% desktop share so really they should consider themselves very lucky instead of biting the feeding hands.
>>54381144
See >>54381082
And Linux runs the servers of almost every website you use, so your memeing is really misplaced.
If you see ads remember to check to block option.
I like that it fits the design style of win 10
>>54375139
Took them fucking long enough. Does it block ads better than lightning?

Really? Their website claims otherwise.
>>54382364
Alright, weird. I figured Opera would give all of the options in their browser.
>>54382412
Free users don't get all regions.
Is there a way to remove the '+ Add Page' option from being shown at the top of every bookmark folder?

If they didn't you'd have a bunch of mediocre piles of shit, each one with one or two great features. That's where we're at now anyway but you can't tell me it wouldn't be 100x worse.

Suck a fuck, mods.
>>54384551
You can go in and delete the links in the link one at a time.
Time for some protips
1) To remove the seachbar in the new tab page, along with other nice options, open Settings, then Browser, then click on an empty space (to focus the settings panel) and press
Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A
And the power settings menu will appear.
2) To delete the default search engines (to add Y as the quick search for YouTube, for example) just go to the Opera's installation root (you can find the path in O-Menu>About Opera>Paths>Install), then change to the ".../21.0.1432.57/resources" subdir, You should find there the "defaultpartnercontent.json" file, rename it to e.g. "backup_defaultpartnercontent.json", then relaunch the Opera,
Now the default search egine list should be empty
3) Look for the "Download Chrome Extesion" extension to use all the extensions available for Chrome. There are some nice Opera exclusive extensions like sidebar add-ons.
4) You can edit the thumbnail of the Speed Dial elements in the window that appears when you pin a site.
>>54376519
Chrome has some bloat, specially about extension support, it loads bloat in order to run web apps.
Also, Opera's adblocker is faster than any shit Chrome has.
>>54376082
It also works for webms.
Violent Monkey is 1000 times better than Tampermonkey
>>54385760
Also, there's a way to remove that one fucking pixel over the tabs when you max the window. In advanced configs, disable spacing or something (mine is in portuguese)
>>54376082

Maxthon, UC Browser and some Chrome extensions did that before, nobody is saying it's revolutionary.
But Opera's implementation is cleaner, and better.
>>54380603
icons and font size.
aka your fault
>>54385760
Is there a way to sync my extensions between devices? That's the only thing preventing me from switching.
Also, what the fuck is the point of power user settings? As far as I can tell all it added was a "Delay initial tab preview in milliseconds" field.
>>54386484
>Is there a way to sync my extensions between devices
not yet, it sucks
the power settings is an old thing that hasn't been removed
>>54386423
>it's the user's fault that they have icons that there is no way to change
K.
Also, the font size is exactly the same.
>>54386358
You can do it with MPC-HC / VLC too.
>>54383691
Wait wat why is https everywhere there?
>>54375139
>see this notice on my phone which uses opera mini
>very first site i go to has a big ass slow down as an ad shows up with an X on it
>>54386559
Because it has an official extension by the EFF for every major browser.
>>54386750
I see. Is the built in add blocker good enough or should something like uBlock Origin be installed instead?
>>54386787
I'm not sure. The native adblocker is probably faster because it's in assembly rather than Javascript, but uBlock Origin is a much more versatile tool.

>>54392807
Yeah well I'm talking desktops, mongoloid.
>>54389588
Not him, but I think that he meant that the native adblocker was compiled and thus would probably have much better performance than a Javascript implementation of the same thing.
>>54392829
Well, Opera is clearly superior to Chrome, so it would be the best browser if and only if you consider Chrome to be better than Firefox.

I don't, because it's not.

Opera Turbo just lowers the resolution of all the images and videos that you request to save bandwidth. It's an objective downgrade of the user experience.

Anon you can't just tell websites to downsample images on the fly.

websites don't do it, anon
there is similar technology called "data saver" in chrome for android
everything is routed through a server (opera's, in this case) which downsamples before sending it to your browser, thus saving data on the end-user side
don't fight shit until you've at least googled it

>How does it work?
>The pages you visit go through one of our servers. The server identifies pieces of the page that can be compressed. It shaves off image pixels and corrects video buffering. Then, it sends back these smaller-sized pieces to your device.
Translation: They compress the text on webpages to save you almost an entire byte per website, and they lower the quality of the images and videos you request to actually save you data.

So it doesn't work on encrypted connections and serves to monitor what I browse and build a profile on me.
No thanks.

To be fair, it also encrypts the compressed information, so it's a good idea to use on public wifi if you don't have a VPN.
Tested Opera Mini, Lightning is still way better.
Will test Opera vs. Firefox when I get home

You're a fucking moron, Opera Turbo is a godsend. It lowers image resolution (a setting that can be changed) and compresses the website. When you're on a slow connection and using half the data you would be it's fucking great.
