Opera Browser Company May Sell Itself Off

[sarfarazahmad]

opera built amazing software. If only they had gone open source things might have been a lot different !

Just to offset the negativity here, I'm a happy Opera "next" user. I stuck with 12 as long as I could but it was just unbearable after a while with more and more sites breaking and long pages (think large diffs on GitHub) practically grinding it to a halt. Yes, it's a lot like Chrome but I trust Opera more than Google and I just couldn't get comfortable with Chrome anyhow. I did try Vivaldi but it didn't seem ready yet. I'll wait and see what happens next.

Hmm... I thought they were doing well (ok at least well enough to stay afloat). As to the browser, after Opera 12 was EOLed, I did try the 15 and hated it. I am on Firefox now with a few extensions. It's usable but far from Opera 12. And I am hating FF more and more with each new release.
