    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
