@codepo8 Apple Chrome? It's webkit after all!

@sandor @codepo8 Maybe ten years ago, but they've diverged quite far nowadays.

I'm told safari on Android runs Chromium instead of Webkit. So at least for Android users, Apple Chrome is a thing

@4bz @sandor @codepo8 Apple does not make an Android Safari. If such an app exists it is just a scam.

@codepo8 "Not Chrome" should be labeled "that other google browser"

Not uncommon to miss a fork in the road. I think this is the mozilla fork that is not a google browser.

As an Opera user, who actually likes the browser:

How come it is labelled "Chinese Chrome"?

Am I missing something?

@ruedi @codepo8
It's owned by a Chinese company. Also, it's not really the same browser as it was some years ago. Back then they still ran their own engine (Presto), now it's the same Chromium base as most other browsers. Some of the original Opera team went and made Vivaldi, which brings back some of the old Opera's features but is still Chrome at heart.

@TFFPrisoner @codepo8
Thanks for the info. Been using Opera for years, always liked it.

Might have to check out Vivaldi then.

Any advice on how best to switch and use the other browser?

@ruedi @codepo8
I wish I knew, I'm actually using both intermittently. You can import data from one browser to the other but there are things Vivaldi does that annoy me like not having the smart clipboard function or making unhelpful autocompletes. Then again, Opera also has issues with autocomplete, occasionally making me visit sites I'm not interested at all because I hit enter too quickly 🙄 Plus it's hogging a lot of resources, Vivaldi seems a bit better in that regard.

@ruedi @codepo8 Maybe that Opera was sold to a Chinese consortium in 2016?

@ruedi @codepo8 I used to be a big Opera fan myself but I don't trust them anymore and see Vivaldi as old Opera's true heir.
