@GossiTheDog A fascinating issue with Opera GX: it's edgy to use. So using it despite these glaring problems, makes you kinda more edgy.

It is a browser that has uniquely captured identity in its usage, and the consequences of it being Opera, gets dismissed.

Sadly how to encourage Opera GX users to avoid Opera in the future in a way they get, is beyond me.

@GossiTheDog I'd generally prefer either Firefox or Chrome, or unbranded versions of them (like Debian's Iceweasel), even if there is zero controversies because obviously it is nearest the upstream where e.g. security fixes land first.

Sad to see what has become of them.
Opera Mini rocked on S60 Nokia's.
And Opera Mobile is still a very fast and intuitive browser on mobile.
