Web Browser that rocks

Postby Paphitis » Mon Apr 23, 2018 10:57 am

If people want a real good web browser, then give Opera a real good go.

https://www.opera.com

In built VPN, in built ad blocking, Virtual reality, battery saver mode for your laptop when on the hop and friggin super fast it will blow the opposition to smithereens.

Pair with Duck Duck Go for the ultimate in privacy when not using VPN. With VPN in the mix, you can cloak your IP Address too.

Others to look at as follows:

1) Pale Moon,
2) Waterfox (for mozilla fans)
3) Get Real's Classic Browser
4) Apple's safari needs to be respected too.

And say goodbye to Chrome, Mozilla, Edge and Internet Explorer forever, and your PC will love too because they are lite. :D

Some more tests:


Opera fails 11 technology tests while mine fails 6, right here...
https://whatwebcando.today/

Opera doesn't support TLS 1.3 security right here...
https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/viewMyClient.html

Opera's support for RSS/Atom feeds is comical, right here...
https://feeds.extratv.com/rss

Opera fails tracking tests right here...
https://www.aloodo.org/


Nice lemon. :lol:

That’s how you evaluate browsers Paphitis, with independent online tests that target specific relevant technical issues.

That's quite off, because mine has a tick for every one.

You actually got to configure it and enable HTTP anywhere, do not track and ghostery.

You had to add 3rd party stuff to set up some level of privacy, but "out of the box" Opera provides none.

mate...it actually passed the test I did.

Third-party tracking not detected. This browser is safe from some common kinds of tracking.

From the aloodo test that was done above. I can't be bothered with the rest.

It just works right out of the box and it is safe from advertising, tracking, and has inbuilt VPN. When yours can do that, give me a call. :lol:

Virtual Reality in the browser world is called "WebVR" and is also supported (at least) by mine and Chrome.
