Opera is now just a rebranded Google Chrome?

It has bookmarks its the same bookmark bar as is in Chrome , Opera still lacks a shortcut to toggle the bar ( you have to enter settings) & it still has no bookmark manager.
Compared to Opera 12 i miss Notes the most followed by the very flexible user interface & the integrated mail.

Overall i prefer The new Chromium Blink based Opera its much more stable & I love the revamped Speed Dial page , you can now drag speed dials together to create folders , save all open tabs to a speed dial group ( same as sessions in Opera 12)
The Stash & Discover options on the speed dial page are great , Stash is where you can store tabs.
Discover is the latest news stories you have two options.
Top Stories is the default but you can use the drop down list to choose from various categories i.e. Travel, Science etc...
The other option is choose your country change to another country & get a different perspective on the news.

Opera still has Turbo its called Off-Road Mode now ( you request a page & Opera compresses it & delivers it your phone or desktop from its servers speeding up slow connections.) I like Of-Road Mode more for bypassing the increasing amount amount of censorship on the net.

Opera has the best installer of any browser Opera Desktop Team - Desktop Team
If you choose Options you can change the Install path (need to use the Make new folder button to keep the files grouped) you can now choose the install for option & choose standalone USB to install it as a Portable version.

Thanks stve. I have simple needs, but the bookmarks as they are in 12 is a must. Sucks my favorite browser is getting no updates, but instead has forked into something I don't want. A Guy

Not too shabby.

Tested a bunch and the results were ...
