@nonetrix @alyx its like opera in the good days

@Xalef @alyx Was good when they had their own browser engine

@nonetrix @alyx yeah but google fucked the entire web, gotta make with what we have, or make an entire engine ourselves (that may not be an awful idea)

@Xalef @nonetrix @alyx A browser engine would take over 2000 years worth of programming hours to compete with firefox and chrome.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Flow browser did it not really

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Never heard of it.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx https://www.ekioh.com/flow-browser/

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx I wonder why more don't use it? Security reasons?

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx It's still intresting and proves my point

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx If only I could install uMatrix and crew.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx It's only on ARM for the time being for some reason

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx They have showed in running on X86 though

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx They need to ARM it with more devs.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx It already has gotten many sites to render well

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Now they need a huge team to keep up with security patching.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx I don't know of many bugs that have been found, and if theirs any it's a very small fish

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx uMatrix makes everything unusable and takes like one hour to fix, no thanks.

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx I love uMatrix, it is the king of blockers.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Brave is enough for me

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Brave is not secure.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Good enough for me

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Firefox is also not by any means, soooo many day one exploits

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Firefox sucks, LibreWolf is superior.

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Same code won't magically make it immune

@cowanon @Xalef @alyx Also they could open source it, it's still very Alpha

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx The old Opera was close to as perfect of a browser as you could get before they dropped Presto.

@LoliHat @nonetrix @alyx i cry everytime

@Xalef @alyx @nonetrix It used to be a call for open W3C standard so that neither Netscape nor Internet Explorer would dominate. Oopsie.

@Xalef @alyx @nonetrix

At one point, Opera put out a "Bork" edition to protest Microsoft targeting their browser.

https://press.opera.com/2003/02/14/opera-releases-bork-edition/

@Xalef @alyx @nonetrix

I know the fore years now the look/feel of Opera 12 was attempted to be replicated with Otter Browser.

https://otter-browser.org/

@LoliHat @alyx @nonetrix I have heard of this one, I have never tried it tho.

@Xalef @alyx @nonetrix Haven't tried it since they achieved version 1.0.

@LoliHat @Xalef @alyx It still uses QtWebEngine(chromium)

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Sadly no one is going to build a new engine, especially when so many websites have customized their pages to only work on chromium or maybe the ones Firefox uses.

@LoliHat @Xalef @alyx Flow browser is a thing but is still Alpha

@nonetrix @Xalef @alyx Haven't heard of that one. Will have to keep an eye on it.

@LoliHat @Xalef @alyx It's meant for embedded and is proprietary, but it's intresting imo and theirs an ARM beta

@nonetrix @Xalef
My trash can is completely empty, so I have no idea what you're talking about.

@alyx @nonetrix woah that theme looks awesome

@Xalef @nonetrix
It's all thanks to Kvantum and Gently theme.

@Xalef @alyx Too much fucking blur even for me

@nonetrix @Xalef
The blur is adjustable still. But can't remember if I can change how transparent it is.

@alyx @nonetrix @Xalef hm your KDE actually looks not bad what theme are you using?

@amolith @Xalef @nonetrix
I'm using Kvantum and Gently theme.

@alyx
>Memes folder
based
@nonetrix @Xalef

@TheAncestor @alyx @nonetrix noticed that too lmao

@TheAncestor @Xalef @nonetrix
There's an "awoo" folder somewhere inside there.

@alyx @TheAncestor @nonetrix half life?

@Xalef @TheAncestor @nonetrix
