Opera for mac 10.5 android#

As expected, they put the kiboosh on the then free VPN (I remember you could download their VPN app and use it on an Android phone. When Opera was sold to a Chinese consortium, I wasn't too bothered but I did adopt a 'look and see' approach. It was an excellent mobile browser then and still is today. Opera was one of the rare browsers you could download and install, and that I did. Everyone used what we today call 'feature phones' and my choice was always Sony Ericsson. Oh, I needed to add that this was the time before smartphones. Loved it immediately! Speed dial, device specific speed dial, gestures, etc. Then it became heavyweight and I decided to give by then Chromium based Opera a try. Then I moved onto Chrome when it was new and lightweight. I realise nobody would touch anything other than IE.ДЇirefox was initially lightweight, then became heavyweight.

Was still a kid at home with a shared computer.

Opera for mac 10.5 driver#

I was always keen to experiment.Д«ut my daily driver was Netscape and when Netscape collapsed, I migrated to Firefox. Coincidentally, that was in my high school and college years. I was an on and off user since the old Presto days. With Vivaldi out of the picture - no iOS version - I decided to give Opera a chance and now I am a very satisfied user of Opera (MacOS) and Opera GX (iOS) - not eevrything is perfect (but the reality is that there is no perfect browser out there), some workaround was needed - examples: to have bookmarks sync and GX was chosen to have some form of synced tabs - enabling some flag on desktop has vastly improved the experience, Flow is great and the sidebar - activating a flag - IMHO is better than Vivaldi panels. Then last March I switched to iOS/MacOS knowing that Apple's policies with webkit and all the rest would mean trouble for a heavy browser user like me. Opera is popular, look at the numbers, as a fact its userbase is now wider then when using Opera was 'a thing' - but it is easy to be distracted, especially here, by Opera haters - most of them former Opera Presto lovers I guess.Д«y the way, I was an Opera Presto lover, from the time you had to subscribe to use it, Opera was my one and only browser from 1999 to 2013, then from 2015 to last March no Opera installation at all on my devices (I became a Firefox/Vivaldi user mainly while occasionally giving a chance to every browser out there).
