Opera decides to put an Eric Andre jumpscare intro as a part of the advertisement for "Bury Boring". Now people are switching browsers - Opera users are quiting after Opera decides to put as jumpscare in the loading intro

What does Opera even do differently than the myriad of browsers available? Is there any legit reason to use it over Firefox or literally anything that isn't Chrome?

It used to be great up until Opera 12, and then they switched engine removing all the features that made Opera, Opera. Those in the know switched to Vivaldi which is made by the OG developers of Opera, and is essentially the real Opera.

 

[I'm a Silly]

But the real question is… is it a nigger?

well i know what is

 

[FailurePersonifiedV2]

Get fucked opera

 

[Kiwi & Cow]

I have the same reaction to finding out that people use Opera as when I find out that there are still McAfee users out there.

I know I'm late, but more and more people use Opera because they had the same market strategy as discord to advertise to Gaymers and now with that Opera GX became big, not as big as Chrome, but def on par with Firefox in marketshare. No 1 uses the other Opera.

i never say this, but if you actually use opera gx or brave you need to kill yourself (and probably join the 41%)

I'd join the 80%, also no thanks lmfao faggot. Brave is based and redpilled.

spoken like a true redditor

 

[Spliongus]

why cant these """"""people""""""" never learn to shut the fuck up

because they need to have their life choice affirmed by anything and everything, corporate xitter jannies included.

Atleast I'm not one unlike you. What subs are you on? r/linux r/privacy?

a browser can't be for "gaming" because one will always consume memory

No idea how this doesn't strike most people as anything other than obvious snake oil. The only way a browser could be especially good for gaming is if it were optimized to play Flash games on sites like Newgrounds and Miniclip or something, and the time that would have been a cool/useful feature ended some time in the Obama administration.

I knew from the moment they put 2 gay niggas kissing as their pfp on Twitter that some faggotry was afoot

 

[Spasticus Autisticus]

Opera should change their name to Trap already.

 

[Fagnacious D]

This sounds like something I would do but, it would not be for the purpose of selling a (free) browser to people. It'd be there just to piss them off.

This is even stupider than when a build of 360 emulator Xenia put a high pitched sound in when you played a .iso file.

Or if it used a special web engine designed to be light on system resources, a system to turn off GPU acceleration really easily, and possibly a feature to deep freeze the entire browser, ensuring that it doesn't cause stutters when a random JS-loaded poztab decides to use an entire core for 5 seconds or something. These wouldn't be really useful anyway, since modern multi-tasking operating systems are great at running really intensive applications with the occasional tiny CPU spike from other random processes. If only they did have their own browser engine, instead of being another fucking Blink user like >le shill lion, Edge, Vivaldi, and all the others. Not saying Gecko is perfect either...

Tons of people don't even know what a browser is. I'd even say that number is growing, especially due to phone-only plebs.

Odd that I just watched a That Chapter video from the other day and he was shilling Opera.

Brave chads rise up
Opera fags in the mud
Thanks Eric Andre, your unfunny antics ruined something again

This is deliberate self-sabotage. I know in tech the most brain-damaged can call the shots (and they often do) but there is no way a product guy could approve this as "haha funney screaming man" after the third or fourth time.
