installed opera gx (portable) just to see what its like nowadays since i haven’t tried opera or opera gx since moving to firefox in like 2017 or 18, and i am thoroughly confused on some things. first off, why does it have sound effects and background music lmao? i need to know what insane person has those left on because having my browser make swooshing, clicking and futuristic sounds when i hover over something, click, or type on my keyboard is a one way ticket to a headache. the homepage has so much random stuff on it, only other browser with more stuff on its new tab page is ms edge lol - they’ve added like a billion random flash games you can play when the chrome dino game is still the most entertaining tbh. the most bonkers thing was its “mods” store - which is basically a place to install themes that change the appearance of the browser and other things like the sounds and the look of certain websites, its like a more fancy version of a bog-standard theme on the chrome or firefox stores. anyway, when i tried to browse it on gx it would take forever to load images and wouldn’t let me install mods, any troubleshooting i tried failed - this is a fresh install btw. i decided to use my default (firefox) to open the same page and it loads instantly with no issues it was also the same story for brave which i use a secondary browser. so in conclusion i am still confident my decision to leave opera behind was a pretty good one on my part from what it seems lmao
