A follow up to my 1 week with Opera
Unfortunately I didn’t make it. I’m used to an unstable browser (I run Firefox Aurora normally), but recurring crashes are never fun. In fact while writing this post, Xorg went a little crazy, wasn’t able to pin it definitely on Opera though.
I still use it from time to time as my secondary browser. It’s fast and I really like the initial “Speed Dial” page. It’s worth a look, especially on an older machine.
Add some mobile apps to your panels, I challenge you to use Opera-Next for a extreme 2 weeks.
I’m sure by that time you’ll never want to go back

Mobile apps for my desktop?
I’m in the process of switching from Opera to Chromium – after using it for 11 years! They just ruined this once awesome browser (bloat, render issues, stability issues).
