The notion that I am aiming to topple Chrome is something invented by that pea-brained idiot Sotos, who out of jealousy and frustration always brings up Google and foolishly compares me with a conglomerate in the hope that he will crush my spirit and I’ll abandon the project he is so envious of.

As if that's ever gonna happen... :roll:


I have always said that you can have no significant market share at all, that it will be a total waste of your time and that you will never make any money out of this. So have you made any money from this? No. Will you make any money? No. You are just wasting your time, just like I said you would ;)

The Classic is here to stay and I will be expanding my market share and I will be taking an early retirement just as I planned, while you’ll be stewing in your juice over in Limassol.

Oh and I may also combine it with a full blown search engine just to watch you blow a gasket! :lol:


You will need to simplify your browser considerably. You looking at Opera will be good for you but you also need to add your own innovation/s.

Opera is very simple, lite, fast and its no nonsense.

You will need to stick to what's important to most of us.

Plus, you need to change the look of your browser. make it more minimalist and modern.

opera is a very under rated browser. It should be absolutely killing Chrome and Mozilla.

This is what Opera do really well:
1) Battery Saver - 10+ hours on a lap top in battery saver mode
2) Built in add blocker
3) Built in VPN
4) Quick or Turbo Search
5) Security - with Ghostery and HTTPS
6) Speed Dial
7) Great customizability

I don’t think much of Opera… it’s just too ugly and too weak, and those are bullshit features you listed Paphitis… :)

But to be honest, I didn’t really write mine for people like you… mine’s got a technical leaning, hence the many developer and scraping tools… functions you probably haven’t seen/noticed.

I noticed them, just didn't think there was much point or need for it.

You need to change your browser to look something as elegant as Chrome, Mozilla or Opera. believe me, the Classic isn't striking like all the others. Your buttons for instance are huge and just odd looking. I can't remember if F11 works but if you are a Chromium engine then it should.

Opera looks like junk to me... it's a matter of taste so we'll never agree, just as no two men ever agree on women etc.

As for F11... what is that meant to do in your world?

F11 - full screen mode on/off

Increases the browsing real estate.Great for streaming and videos as well.

Full screen mode should be [Alt +F11] ...ah well... to each his own.

That's just another example of how you should simplify your browser.

there really is no need for a 2 key press to turn full screen on like you do with ALT + F11.

It should be one key press.

F11 alone to enter and exit full screen. Nice and easy.

There are no standards... each author does whatever they think is right. Prior to Windows we had a general consensus like... F1=Help, F10=Main Menu, etc, but that's all gone out the window now so...
