OK, OK. Enough pestering you guys (Calvin, Ed, Kelly, etc.)! I’m trying out the Opera browser. Actually retrying, it has been a few years.
I’m trying it on Windows and Linux. Don’t know if I will try on Android or not. Already running 4 browsers there.

Hi, been using Opera as my main browser for several years. Interesting to see how you get on. Have used Firefox, on and off, but does seem to get bloated. Also trying out Vivaldi, based on Opera, but more configurable apparently. https://vivaldi.com/?lang=en
I can tell you how to get rid of the Google search bar if you’ed like too.
Go for it.
Get rid of Google Search Bar: Settings>Browser (make sure Show Advanced Setting, lower left, is check)>User Interface>uncheck Enable Search Box in the Address Bar
Here is the website explaining it…Give them the credit.

I us vivaldi and watefox, but nothing is coming close to opera 12.6…
today opera is just a more comfortable chrome, and in Chinese control.
Unfortunately firefox follows the path of opera to the end.
I do not understand the “Chinese control” statement. Please elaborate.Nevermind. A google search turned up:

vivaldi is (to me) very comfortable,
watefox for the old addons of ff,but its a one man show, hope he will keep on going.
cent browser all the way
