#Opera

Tak jsem přešel k tomu, abych na telefonu místo #google #Chrome začal používat #firefox
No...je to trochu downgrade, ale na druhou stranu je hezké, jak to dokáže kopírovat hesla z chromu a tak nemám moc starostí s importováním.
Jakože...možná jsem raději měl přestoupit rovnou na #opera protože to je evropská značka, ale asi mi spíš šlo o ten přestup od magnáta.

@jon My story is that in the early 2000's I was very torn between Internet Explorer, #Firefox and #Opera. I was constantly trying out new browsers.

Opera, however, was the browser that offered the most extensive options for customizing the browser to your own needs, at that time without any interface for add-ons. And that with strong competition like Firefox, which offered an interface for add-ons.

When the big change came after version 12 of the Opera browser, I had to take the difficult path, as there was no real alternative. I don't like to think back to that time.

When Vivaldi then developed a new browser under the direction of Jon von Tetzchner with many former Opera Software employees, I immediately realized that something really big was going to happen and that there would finally be a great alternative on the browser market again.

Without further ado, I have been using Vivaldi every day since the first technical preview (TP1) and would never want to use any other browser again. Having followed the development of Vivaldi since the (official) beginning, it's like watching a child grow up.

Vivaldi is my constant companion, both privately and professionally. Especially in the professional environment, Vivaldi offers me great opportunities to optimize my #workflow.

A few years ago I discovered professor Robert Greenberg's classes on what was then called The Great Courses (also available via Audible, Google Play etc).
Today I started listening to another one ("how to listen and understand opera") and immediately I'm reminded of how incredible he is.
The sheer passion that comes through would make these interesting even if he was talking about banging rocks.
