A benchmark of the new Opera vs Firefox vs Chrome and/or others would be interesting
-
that should make bumping ebuilds locally for Google Chrome much easier once I know which versions really exist
Thanks a lot
I'm also wishing that they would update their branch of the 12 Version but this likely will never happen
will see how the development of Opera goes
once bookmark handling has significantly improved - I might switch over from Chromium (of which the Bookmark management isn't very advanced/user-friendly)

This is the same as Chrome, which contains closed-source code. (Chromium is what you get when you strip away all the closed-source parts of Chrome.)

Too little, too late
For quite some time I was a devoted Opera user, but migrated to Firefox last year. This is too little, too late. If I wanted to use Chromium technology, I would go straight to the source and use Chromium itself.

Too little, too late Opera.
Otter is advancing well, and it looks like my hack will actually work too. Once there's a free software replacement with equivalent functionality, that's the final nail for any proprietary product.
