Ohhh, whyyyy? I moved to Opera years ago and other than the now far too often updates, it's been good. Sigh.
What should I use instead?

@kaffando @GossiTheDog Vivaldi. It's actually closer to classic Opera than anything else.

@jernej__s @kaffando @GossiTheDog AIUI though it's still Chromium not its own browser.

@dalias @kaffando @GossiTheDog Unfortunately I haven't been able to customise Firefox to my liking as much as Vivaldi, though depending on what'll happen with manifest v3, I will switch.

@jernej__s @dalias @kaffando @GossiTheDog floorp kinda tries to be vivaldi but as a firefox fork bit i found it clunky when i tried it. Might have gotten better tho :3

And it has a bunch of people who previously worked at/on Opera.
Also Vivaldi has a public Mastodon instance, FWIW.

Truly loved the classic Opera browser. Sad to hear that it should be avoided now.

Old, old Opera once had a setting that turned the web page into green text on a black background and stripped out all of the images.

What I truly miss is a web browser that pulled a list of the page's links and had it in a box for a quick search. Screw all of hidden links inside of an accordion drop out. Nobody has got time for that.

@MyWoolyMastadon @kaffando @GossiTheDog I tried ChrOpera when it was released, but it didn't work for me (some gestures were broken), so I stayed with Opera 12 until Vivaldi was released. It's missing a few things I liked in Opera, but it's by far the closest to the browser I liked.

@jernej__s @kaffando @GossiTheDog I've personally found Vivaldi to be a bit of a hog. Can't remember what my other issues were tho

@kaffando @GossiTheDog You might find @Vivaldi to be the most familiar, even out of the Chromium-based options. But other options you might like include Firefox, Brave (includes crypto features that can be disabled), and Arc (not privacy-focused).

Thank you, I've tried Vivaldi before so will give it another shot. Will also look at the others. Thanks so much.

@nebula @kaffando @GossiTheDog @Vivaldi Vivaldi, LibreWolf, Mullvad, Firefox. Don't use Brave--Brave's CEO was kicked out of Mozilla for being a fascist, so I don't recommend it.

@reignstorm @kaffando @GossiTheDog @Vivaldi Oh yeah forgot about the CEO, good point. LibreWolf and Mullvad are a bit too hardcore for someone coming from Opera though.
