Otter Browser Forum / Re: Otter advantages over Vivaldi
Frankly I care very little about the multiprocess/single process thing (single process is more or less buggy on Vivaldi, Opium, Chromium and so on).
For the end user what counts, after all, is the final result.
What Vivaldi people did right (IMO, obviously) is the priority order.
Vivaldi is still plenty of bugs, but has already a speed dial working, it has a user recognizable will to implement the email function, it has a function to import settings from Opera and so on.
Emdek, on the other hand, focused the development more to fix anything under the hood before starting to add more features.
While I respect his arguments I believe that was a not productive approach (and I told him in less "suspect" times).
I was really enthusiast when I read about the Otter project (an still I'm) but the fact is that with Vivaldi I felt @home since the day one, I felt somewhat @home using Qupzilla and Opium, but I still feel "naked" using Otter.
That's not a suggestion to give up (absolutely not) , but a renewed suggestion to rethink the development path.
My two cents.
You're comparing a browser made from the ground up by a single developer with occasional help from limited people, all on their free time without any financial support with a browser made by a group of people working full time around the clock with full financial support and companies behind them, they even have some knowledges and experiences from the old Opera development members aboard.
What he has done so far, making a very comprehensive brower from the ground up, is nothing short of amazing.
This is already infinitely closer to the original Opera than that thing they called one now. Thank you!
