Opera Neon
Hot takes!
- I wanted to give it at least a few days of full-time use, but you can’t use extensions (yet?). The web is too hard for me to use without 1Password and Ghostery.
- The UI feels fresh and interesting. UI polish seems like an excellent direction for Opera to go. Since moving to Blink they aren’t spending (as many) resources on under the hood browser stuff, they might as well polish up the hood itself. It’s neat how it uses your desktop background as its background. It’s not transparent, though, it’s just a duplicate image.
- The pop-out videos are pretty sweet. Safari can do it too, but the tray of media in Neon is an upgrade. I don’t understand why Chrome and Firefox can’t do this… isn’t it a macOS level thing?
- Weird bug: doesn’t seem like you can ?V paste into the address bar?
