Was it speed, memory efficiency, or another thing?\n\nIt's hard to explain if you weren't there\nOld Opera was a total internet suite(even had built-in IRC client), it was consistently the most innovative browser\nMany of the functionalities you have nowadays were first on Opera(and plenty missing since then)\nOld Firefox with a bunch of add-ons still didn't have the full functionality of Presto Opera\nNot only that but Opera was the best browser at adhering to the W3C standards, so much so that there used to be a saying ''If it doesn't work on Opera, it's a webdev problem''\nOf course the web back then was also far more efficient but you could literally load 50 tabs on Opera on a 512MB RAM machine and it would do it without chugging\nEven for back then it was crazy efficient and very light in size\n\nGoogle killed the web later on and it's all history from there\n\n* * *",
