Why are you not using this beautiful modern browser called opera, anon?
literally best browser on the market plus free vpn
It's hideous.
but i am using opera beta.
How many bowls of rice are you being paid by shilling this chick shit?
>>55257105
>chick shit
chickens don't like rice.
>>55257105
ahahah you thought I live in asia, probably because of my awesome free vpn
>>55257062
It used to be better, gonna wait a couple more months and try it. I will stock to edge for now
>>55257062
>Why
Because Vivaldi.
>>55257062
I used it because of the nice mouse gestures and all the features.
Than after v12 is became chrome reskin.
Uninstalled. . .
>>55257062
Opera is not free software, not even OSS.
>>55257189
>>55257268
all its vpns are range banned on 4chan. don't lie shilling retards.

no

>Than after v12 is became chrome reskin.
That may have been true years ago when the switch just happened, but only an idiot would act like it's still true.
>>55257315
yeah now it just just like Edge
>>55257062
Because I am dumb and in current year still use Firefox with e10s enabled
>>55257062
But I am using it anon, alongside with Vivaldi
>>55257105
>>55257189
you got outplayed m8, rekt/8
>>55257062
I use it on my phone.
Always have.
Its shit on pc though.

It isn't opera anymore. It's a shitty Chrome skin pretending to be opera. It took them years just to add basic functionality like Favorites back.
>VPN honeypot
>Good thing
>>55257062
I use it, as my secondary browser. My main one is pic related c:
>>55257679
They also removed tab stacking.
>>55257283
Let's not forget you can't add default search engines
>>55257488
>bright orange on black bg
anon, your glasses are so thick, what happened?
>>55259653
But you can.
>>55257062
Anyone have experience with the free VPN built into the dev version of Opera?
I've been using it for a couple of months and it seems to be OK.
>>55260807
It's nice, not all of the ip addresses are banned
- sent from opera vpn
>>55260558
No you can not, you can add additional search engines but not change the defaults.
>>55261010
Except I am using it and have DDG as my default.
>>55261113
DDG already is one of the defaults in Chropera you cuck, try using StartPage as default for instance
>Protip: you can't
>>55261136
Huh. You're right. Not that anon though.
Why would you want it to default to anything but google though?
I use it daily and it's great, it has a low memory footprint, it's faster than Chrome, and you have access to a great plugin store
>>55261136
Oh, that's what this is about. You're just a child screaming about how you can't use your hipster search engine with it.
>>55261249
Chropera has full compatibility with all Chromium extensions.
>>55257283
>>cant disable speed dial bullshit
You can disable it holy shit look at this retard
>>55261266
>Chropera has full compatibility with all Chromium extensions.
That's his point, fuckwit.
>>55261304
Not even the"fuckwit" you're shitposting with, but obviously the first anon was talking about the Opera add-ons store, not the Chrome Web Store.
>>55261362
First post in this thread desu not even the guy you're shitposting with
>>55261385
Neither am I, as I explicitly stated in the post that you just replied to.
Fucking hell, I don't know how moot could deny how many literal retards flood some boards during summer.
>>55261266
>Hipster search engine
>Uses FuckFuckGo
Can't make this shit up
>>55261536
You're the one who is literally just using a Google reskin. It doesn't get any more hipster than that.
>>55261584
I use Ixquick as well, does that make me more of a hipster?
bookmark manager has shitty behaviour honestly, i can't even search my bookmarks in the opera android apps. heap of shit
>>55257062
You seem to be talking about Chropera, please don't disgrace real Opera by associating it with your bullshit Chromium copy.
>why aren't you using Opera
I am. You should give it a try sometime.
>>55262174
Chropera is pretty good, mate. Your blind fanboyism is why no one likes you.
>>55262409
Only someone who's never used real Opera would say such a thing.
Because blink/webkit is disgusting.
>>55262429
Only someone who has not used Chropera since its release would say such a thing.
>>55262174
I really liked 12.16.
>>55262458
Why would I bother? I can tell you without touching Chropera that it's worse than Opera.
>>55257062
Chrome as workhorse multimedia
palemoon as long term non volital
opera as backup incase the other two fuck up
Ie as default just so i know when something opens a web browser.
>>55257488
tab groups
now i only need one window
newtab plus
now i have rows for tabs and can keep a fuck load open
really thats all i require, everything else is nice.
with chrome, i have sidewise so i can easily see tabs because once you open i think 50~ a window they cant be readable anymore.
>>55262481
>I know that it is terrible even enough I know literally nothing about it
Why would anyone ever respect your opinion?
>>55263224
Who said I know nothing about it? I know that they took the most feature packed browser to have ever existed and stripped it down to a barebones Chromium clone. I also know that after three years of slowly reimplementing features Opera had for years prior it's still a steaming pile of shit compared to the real thing.
>b-but you haven't used it
Don't have to use it to know it sucks. Why does it suck? It's missing most of the features that made Opera so great.
>>55257062
opera, vivaldi and sleipnir are all literally Chromium forks
there is not a single decent browser left
>>55263518
>It's missing most of the features that made Opera so great.
Name even one.
>>55264706
Opera Mail.
>free vpn
more like free MITM
This looks like a shitposting thread so I don't feel bad going off topic.
So apparently Microdick updated Visual C++ to be Win10 "exclusive" but offered some fixes for other OS users as well, which would be fine and dandy except I have pirated 8.1 that's uh, pretty much as old as 8.1. So I can't actually download the hotfix which means I can't actually use Visual C++ which means Dolphin 5.0 doesn't work. And I really wanna play Rogue Squadron II.
So this means I gotta update 8.1, and I'd rather not pay for it, and I definitely don't wanna upgrade to 10, so anyone know any legitimate ways to update an illegitimate OS without Microsoft detecting it and turning my OS into a 6 month trial version?
I've found a few sites promising to give me an undetectable KMS but the Gimp tier website layout and broken English makes me more than hesitant to actually use them.
tl;dr how do I update pirated 8.1. Update, not upgrade.
>>55264998
I don't get the joke, sorry.
>>55265008
Huh, I guess there's not an sqt going right now. Regardless you're a dumbass for not knowing what I'm directing you to.
hey guise
who cares
>>55265034
I don't think I'm a dumbass for never going to /g/ except to ask a question. I suppose I'm a dumbass for expecting anyone to actually answer me.
>>55265048
He was redirecting you to the board's dedicated Stupid Questions Thread, because cancerous newfags like you treat this board like your personal tech support forum.

That actually makes you even more of a dumbass. Read the sticky.

Also Opera sucks.

>>55257062
>>55265134
Enjoy not having your question answered because you asked it in a browser thread
>Opera sucks
Opera or Chropera? If you meant the latter then we at least agree on that.
>>55265145
I've tried Opera, didn't like it, went back to Firefox, now Firefox is doing shit I don't particularly like, but I'm definitely not going back to Chrome.
>>55257062
because i have this native app called Safari and it works for my needs.
>>55257062
>try it on OS X
>still uses 1gb+ ram when idle
>still uses far more cpu than Safari
into the trash it goes
Its shit?
On mobile the Chrome based engine paired with AdBlock would be awesome.
But.
You need to enable Turbo to have AdBlock. So it gets like 5x times slower than Firefox with uBlock.
On desktop, its just a Chrome clone.
>>55265723
Just use ublock then? It's chromium based on both desktop and mobile, its advantage is vastly better UI.
But i am
or used to before it went to shit, anyway
>>55257281
wrong again. posting with the VPN works fine.

>>55257315
Well, it's still basically true, you can still see chrome shit all over the place.
But hey, at least it has built in adblock.
>>55257194
How do you watch webms in edge?
Im actually still using 12.something version, aka pre-Chromium version.
I tried using new one shortly after they introduced it but get back quickly. I couldnt stand stripped down out of options version and lack of half of tabs. Really, who thought it would be good idea? I couldnt find option to get rid of that effect and since I often just keep tabs opened between sessions, I have lot of them and dont want to guess which one is which, because name is covered by some retarded blur.
>>55270208
Mah nigga
because Firefox has always been better, but now with the rapid release BS and lack of 64 bit even their becoming shit tier like everything else.
Pale Moon is the browser Firefox should have become.
>>55270258
>because Firefox has always been better
Only since 2013, and only if you're not okay with using a superior outdated program.
>lack of 64-bit
Firefox has had 64-bit support for years.
>>55257281
Using nord
>>55257062
3000 Zimbabwe gulu gulus are accredited to your account
>>55270278
not on windows, they only announced it about 6 months ago i think.
Of course Linux / mac you could compile anything from source to make 64 bit
>>55270364
>not on windows
I know, but that shouldn't be relevant. You're on /g/, start using a real OS.
>>55270389
But Windows IS real OS. Runs everything you might need for work or entertaiment, while Linux wont run some specialist software that, for example, engineers/sciencists might need or games, if you like that form of spending free time.
>>55270418
Keep telling yourself that.
>>55270435
But its true. Linux distros dont have good CAD type of software. They dont have anything like Origin. They wont run games newer than those using Dx9 and Wine is far from perfect in that situation.
I dont say that Linux dont have uses, but when one OS is a hammer and other screwdriver, you cant just run around delcaring that you dont need hammer, because you can adjust your screwdriver to work like clunky hammer.
>>55270389
Oh i know, but windows is my gaming rig, and i find myself on it most often anyway since it has my good monitors. thought it was obvious since the screenshot was from windows.
I use Linux / Solaris for my home servers & work regularly so i know what you mean.
>>55270487
Don't act like everyone and their mother uses Photoshop and AutoCAD on a daily basis. Most people aren't PC gaymurs so that's not valid either. If you are, there's always dualbooting or a VM with PCIe passthrough
>>55257283
>No home button
Try again
>>55270609
And you dont act like everybody can just drop Windows and use Linux distros instead.
>If you are, there's always dualbooting
Then why not just running one OS, if it can satisfy your needs?
>or a VM with PCIe passthrough
Not very popular solution. Still, using one OS solely to run VM is kinda pointless.
I had Linux partition at home and at work. It was fun experiment for a while, then I switched slowly back to Windows, after I noticed how often I would need it instead to do my work. Basically, the only thing I could do on Linux, was browsing the net, ricing and doing some spreadsheet stuff.
Again, I dont deny uses for Linux - I will however oppose everytime someone claims that everybody should drop Windows because Linux does everything and better. Not everything.
>>55270685
If Windows satisfies all your needs then your needs are shit
>>>/v/
>>55270716
What a mature reply.
>>55270799
Well it's true
I am OP.
>>55270716
>Linux
>nothing works
How is Opera compared to other browsers performance-wise?
Also
Vivaldi vs Opera?
>>55270819
It would sure sound funny to, for example, tell my mother to go to /v/ or call her needs "shit", because Linux wont run her accounting-related software or my needs, because I need Origin and several soft made at my work that require Windows to run and nobody even have source code anymore.
Sometimes, Linux fanatics sounds more like religious zealots.
>two tabs open
>Wikipedia and yougetsignal
>using 1gb ram
No thanks
The desktop version is shit, but the mobile version is actually a good alternative to chrome
too bad its proprietary though
>>55270609
If your a casual gaymur like me Linux is good enough
>>55270877

>>55270974
We're not talking about your mom, we're talking about you, someone who supposedly knows about technology.
>>55271280
I mentioned myself in this post. Read it again.
>>55271354
Like I said, dualbooting and virtual machines are both things.
>>55271375
Basically, I keep saying that Windows satisfy my needs that Linux cant and you say that I should dualboot instead or run VM. Like example with screwdriver and hammer, I say that I need hammer and it suits my needs and you keep saying that hammer is not needed, because screwdriver can be adjusted with piece of iron to work as a hammer, albeit not as good.
Again, whats the point of using different OS A to run OS B in VM, if you can just use B in first place? Simply why complicate things that can stay simple?
>>55271497
Because you should use OS A for everything you can and OS B for only what you need.
>>55271515
Why, if B already let me do anything that A can, while A cant do everything that B can?
>>55271641
If you have no issues using exclusively B then you don't belong here.
>>>/v/
>>55271677
Okay, so you dont really have any real argument. Good to know.
>>55271699
My argument is that you don't belong on a technology board.

>4 tabs open

>>55271807
>20 tabs open
>527MB
>>55257062
it has 2 good features: free vpn and flash player window detach. Other than that it's shit. Shit built-in add blocking, fucking tabs have a gap above them that makes closing them with mouse wheel click annoying. Scroll is laggy. INB4 shit pc - it doesn't lag neither on firefox or chrome
>>55271958
Hello c:
>>55271958
The adblocking is identical to everything else but compiled instead of interpreted, and you can disable the gaps above the tabs.
Though I'm not sure why it's lagging, it works fine even on my ancient laptop.
>>55272309
>>55272102
>The adblocking is identical to everything else
then why it shows ads that get blocked by adblock in firefox?
just disabled that top gap, now it's better, didn't know it's possible
>>55272337
Because the extension is using different lists. Add those lists to Opera's adblock and it will block the same shit.
Also, you should be using uBlock Origin.
>>55272365
>Also, you should be using uBlock Origin.
why?
>>55273606
Better icon.
And better CPU efficiency and a lower memory footprint if you care about that.
