Re: Keeping an eye on Opera

j7n was being sarcastic.
What makes remarks like this harmful is not that they're offering the option of an online installer—although I'd rather they finally make bookmarks at least superior to IE3 instead of making some stupid online installer no one wants—but the disdain displayed toward the classic installer is worrisome.
Right now, that disdain is classic Opera ASA. They've thrown out the old browser, are in the process of tossing the community out, and now we're surprised that they have disdain for the classic installer?
Special note: I've reached the point where I will be tossing the last of Opera out. Can't be helped, it seems the point has been reached where it's useless to fret over it anymore. I can't download 12.16 onto this machine, the new and improved version doesn't come up to Chrome standards and that's saying something, and the decision to run us out of town on March 1 lurks. So, when I clear this browser's memory-- I'm using Firefox-- the last of Opera will be gone with it. It's way past time to figure out what's next and devote energy to that. I will put time into this site, Vivaldi, my blog on Wordpress and I will possibly be closing out my account at 2liv3 because that place is nearly dead. Truth to tell, I'm not sure that I'll put much effort into my Vivaldi "holdings" because it seems to be headed-- it doesn't have any idea where it's headed.
