I loved Opera 20 years ago when the built in RSS reader, email client, mouse gestures and unique rendering engine that was either faster than the others or completely incompatible with websites. Now I don't give it much thought, all the chromium browsers feel the same.
Yes, and it also pioneered many features we take for granted now. Like tabs, customizable interfacez etc.
But now it is just a reskinned Chrome.
I loved their speed dial when that came. Just having a home page with a grid of your favorite websites was so innovative at the time.
I remember the mouse gestures, they were a really neat feature. I don't think any other browser has had anything close to it since then.
There are extensions for Chromium browser's that do the same thing now :) I use it at work because my mouse doesn't have buttons for navigating back and forward, it's great.
There's also a Firefox extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/foxy-gestures/
