    Yeah, I was a huge fan but the moment they changed the engine it was just Chrome in different skin. And later the news that they were bought by a Chinese firm doing shady stuff just confirmed that it was the right decision.

    I am sad that they did not open source the engine. Somebody leaked it, but no one serious would touch it for legal reasons.

      For me old Opera is an artifact of the bygone era, together with old Skype and Hamachi, when some proprietary software would really work well and even support Linux.

      Opera actually even released FreeBSD versions, if I’m not mistaken.

      Skype - we all know what.

      Hamachi still works =)
