Conversely, I've converted over to Vivaldi entirely, after the Opera/China announcement. It's no Presto, but it's a drat sight better than FF/Chrome.

Welcome, brother

Perhaps it is time to start a dedicated Vivaldi thread?

We can probably just rename this one. Unlike Vivaldi, we don't need to start from scratch to fix the bad decisions.

For RSS/Newsreading stuff, I've set up my own TT-RSS instance, and just log in from anywhere.

The only feature I really, really miss from Opera 12 was the filterable Links panel/sidebar. If you never realized it was there (which, with all the other features of Opera, is entirely understandable), all it did was list all the links on the current webpage, and had a little searchbox at the top. You could filter it down to, say, all the PDFs on a page, highlight them all, right-click, save-as, and everything would start downloading. Stupid-useful for stuff like https://www.humblebundle.com which lists out all the stuff you've bought, but doesn't actually (ironically) bundle it up for you.

Opera 12 (and under) is the only browser I've ever seen that did that.

I think it's just the cached version of the page expiring. If you hit F5/Refresh while on the speed-dial page, it will go through and refresh all the sites. However, it doesn't apply extensions against them, so if there are big garish ads, you'll see them on the thumbnail.

Why it (and Old Opera before it) don't just kind of... automatically refresh them in the background, I dunno.

Counterpoint: I'm in the latest Vivaldi stable, and I see it?



It only searches my default engine, though. It's not a submenu.

I switched to Vivaldi after the first time a Chinese company tried to buy Opera, and I couldn't be happier. Now that a Chinese company actually owns Opera, I feel pretty good about my decision.

Opera.old had the side-panel where you could filter the links on a page, and right-click download. When you buy a Humble Bundle, it doesn't package them up all nicely for you, you have to download each one by hand. Or filter for the filetype, and download them all at once.

The closest I've found is the Firefox extension DownThemAll. It's a little more powerful, but it's finicky in its own way. And it's Firefox-only.
