@xXMangoXx_ Opera was a legit third browser between Firefox and IE in era before Chrome, it was faster and sleek, but less customizable than FF, they also had really good mobile apps earlier than others (back when compressing traffic was relevant). But moving to Chromium, the default Opera started to suck, half the team split and made Vivaldi which is closer to older UI but less compatible, and now there's THREE forks of Opera, ALL on Chromium engine, and they chose to be annoying with ads.
I am using Firefox mostly now, but have second and third browsers installed just in case, working from home you can have separate setups for work (usually something basic like Chrome) and leisure, as many proprietary plugins and apps various projecs want are Chrome only. To me, Opera turning what it is now is digital version of Nokia becoming another mediocre smartphone brands. GX I installed just ones BY MISTAKE (ads are TOO intrusive) and deleted immediately, Discord integration in regular browsers is already too distracting.
