Many are giving up Opera due to the shortcomings of the present state of the so-called "Opera Next"

This thread is to inform us on how the Opera Browser develops.

I don't know what it means, but Opera is making a gaming browser.

It means a skin, I assume. Opera Coast is a Chrome skin for Mac. Opera Touch is a browser skin for Android. Etc.

Opera ASA makes skins these, not browsers. There are better skins out there.

It actually sounds interesting, although how interesting I'm not sure. It means limiting CPU/memory.

It means limiting CPU/memory.

Something like settings for accelerators and such in IE and FF? Yup, that's innovation. Fine-grained performance controls would be welcome of course, but I expect coarse, clumsy, and crippled from Opera ASA, the way its allegedly inbuilt adblocking is. And I absolutely hate that video popout thingie.

The unusable Disqus system is being replaced with something better.

From now on, in addition to the usual comments section underneath the blog posts, you will be able to participate in the discussion directly on the Opera Forums. Moreover, blog posts on similar topics (like subsequent builds of a particular Opera version) can share the same comments thread - which means less noise and more productive discussions. If a similar question arises among people across different blog posts, we will also be able to direct you to an existing thread on the Opera Forums where your question might have already been answered.

Will you start commenting there now?

Doubtful.

Didn't read yet, but looks like it might be interesting: https://blogs.opera.com/news/2019/10/world-browser-day-oct-16-oslo-plaque/

If you want to see the unveiled plaque, try this article: https://sageneavis.no/nyheter/dette-er-helt-i-sarklasse/19.2395

(Was not there for the unveiling, Oslo is too far from Södertälje. The mentioned neighbouring hot dog kiosk has gotten its share of press attention, mainly because the other hot dog kiosks have disappeared during the last 20-25 years. Hotdog heaven on the streets of Oslo)

Thanks!

In other news, Opera is extending Opera Touch with a regular interface...?

Looks like Opera irc has finally died. Corona killed it.

Huh, I never thought to check if that was still active.

Oh, it is back online along with my few leftover friends. It was just another temporary glitch.
