      I tried Opera on a few of my devices lately and frankly I’m impressed by the responsiveness. I still can’t get rid of Firefox but I find myself moving over to Opera more and morem

        Out of curiosity, why are you trying to get rid of Firefox?

        I dumped Chrome to switch to Firefox a few months ago and haven’t really had any problems with it. I miss tab groups on mobile, but that’s about it.

          Firefox doesn’t have native HEVC support. So I switched to Opera because no other browser except for Safari has that feature.

          Supposedly Edge has it, but couldn’t get it to work on my media server app.

              Its a very simple low ressource video server utility that I’m using for easy access at work.

              Its basically a stupid low footprint plex-like local web server that uses the browser’s internal HEVC support to play and cast to my TV.

        Opera is just chrome with a different skin these days, they no longer maintain their own browser engine
