Nerds.xyz: Opera GX web browser comes to Linux. “Opera GX is now available on Linux, and I can’t help but wonder who exactly this is for. On paper, it checks a lot of boxes. Opera says this isn’t some lazy port, and it is committing to ongoing development with a dedicated team. That is good to hear, because Linux users tend to notice quickly when something feels like an afterthought.”

Opera GX wants to come to Linux? 🤣 Good luck.

Opera was bought by the chinese, and has become full of slop left and right.

The original team left and made #Vivaldi. That's the browser to download.

It goes without saying that people are idiots and that we're our own worst enemy and I have the perfect example of that.

This morning I phoned my uncle, because I sent him a YouTube video and wanted him to watch the supreme upper body strength of the Olympians. Needless to say when I broached the subject of me doing similar… he hated!

But the conversation eventually moved on to his #YouTube woes. For the past week or so, YouTube has been relentless in showing him #adverts.

So I'm asking him questions and eventually ask him if he's updated his #uBlock. He tells me he switched to some new #AdBlock. Don't worry, this isn't a story about someone getting a virus. Turns out he installed the new extension and it worked for a day and doesn't any more. Weird.

So I end up mentioning #ManifestV3 and then it dawned on me. So I ask him, if these problems are in #Firefox? He tells me no, they're in #Opera. Huh?!? So I confirm and ask him if everything works okay in Firefox and he says, no #ads in Firefox, only Opera.

Erm, what in the #BabyReindeer? So I explain that Web Manifest Version Three is designed to hinder #AdBlockers and that he should just switch to Firefox. He says he can't because he shared the computer with his missus and she's using Firefox. I tell him he can just set up a container for his YouTube usage and problem settled. He doesn't like the idea of splitting his web activity between two browsers and besides, he likes to send tabs to his #OperaGX.

So I decide to break it down and tackle it one by one. Starting with the easiest. I explain you can send tabs from Firefox to Firefox. He says it's easier in Opera. I tell him it's pretty easy in Firefox and he asks how. I tell him he needs to log in. He says he is and the option isn't there. I told him to log in on both. He says that in Opera, the option is there in the main UI. I tell him it's an extra click, hardly gonna kill him.

He then says that he doesn't like the new tab UI. Brother, install a frigging extension or just change the options. He likes the big logos in Opera.

He says Firefox boots slower than Opera. I can't dispute that, I don't have his set-up in front of me. But for me, it loads quickly.

So now we're back to splitting activity. I don't have a solution for that. I want to mention that #Mozilla are working on #ProfileManagement for Firefox, but there's no point mentioning things that aren't ready.

So let me just throw shade at Mozilla for a second. As someone that has been an advocate for Firefox because I have felt our goals aligned. I'm deeply saddened by the fact so much of what you're doing is behind logins these days. I'm also saddened that community isn't a consideration when you're hiring. By that I mean, you're hiring a bunch of people that don't feel the need to bother with the community and think it's below them and that's sad. I say this because the community has been clamouring for better profile management for aeons and you're only getting around to it now.

Anyway, he eventually says he prefers the Opera UI because it feels more modern. He says that even the Mozilla website looks dated to him and then says that he would consider Firefox if there was #FirefoxFocus for desktop and at this point I feel like he's just making excuses. I tell him that ultimately, Firefox solves his problem right now because of #MV3 and that even the #uBlockOrigin developer recommends Firefox. He says he'll keep trying to make Opera work? What?!?

At that point, my motion sensor at the top of the stairs was going nuts via #HomeAssistant as my cats were pacing while waiting for their breakfast, so I told him I'd call him back.

I called him back and skeptically recommended #Brave, but he says he got Opera working by disabling a bunch of stuff and relying on the dodgy AdBlock extension he found. WTF? So I said okay and went to make my breakfast.

Vorausgesetzt man nutzt nur diesen einen Browser...
