You might wanna check Otter. It might not have all the features (just yet) but they are striving in that direction, as they say:

> Otter Browser aims to recreate the best aspects of the classic Opera (12.x) UI using Qt5.

Keep in mind that is still in beta and I did come across some UI issues when I last tested (I think the fixed it in the most recent versions, idk). But if you want something as Opera 12 as possible, I guess this is your best bet.

1.13 perform better than 1.12 (used on the article).

> Under-the-hood improvements

> Our latest version also focuses on performance improvements. We have worked on the rewrite of the window handling code in this update. These under-the-hood enhancements are a maintenance necessity allowing us to architect the features better. At the same time, we hope this will provide performance benefits, especially on older, slower hardware.

The IT council of the government has been blocking many VPN services including popular ones like Zenmate. We have got bored of downloading-installing-testing new ones. Opera’s VPN is the most stable and easy-to-use one, and has not been blocked yet. Opera’s popularity in our country has accordingly been growing in order to be able to enter even Wikipedia and Imgur. (Is anybody worrying about which country this is? Somewhere located between Middle East and Eastern Europe as a bridge... :))

I'm convinced sync support is a way to try and force people into walled gardens.

Hopefully projects like xBrowserSync (others?) can help people take back control of their bookmarks.

• If you've got a Chromebook, install Debian, Ubuntu or Pop! OS on it.
• Look into running a Raspberry Pi with NextCloud, and an external hard drive. It doesn't have a federated backup solution yet, so you'd have to set one up yourself with rsync, cron and physically swapping out the backup drive every so often (or with WebDAV to somebody else's NextCloud instance).
• LibreOffice is a great piece of software. And there's even an online version you can set up.

I really can't give more advice unless I know specifically what you use stuff for at the moment. I'm bad at that kind of thing.

It would be interesting to know what the price of such vpns would be, they seem rather limited unlike most premium vpns. I personally use Nordvpn and it works alright when unblocking various geographically restricted content and I can use it on my pc as well as phone, but there is an option to limit it to the browser as well through the extension.

> You're acting as it they're doing this on purpose without anyone noticing. You're spreading fud.

Up until Brave released this update, it was without anyone knowing. The "shields" to me in Brave doesn't mean "block most things but leave some behind", but "block things" period.

>Continue blocking as much without breaking the website.

That is a design choice that is not clearly exposed, and until the update was unexpected. Firefox might break sites, but it is expected because they are blocking Facebook.

Here is the Screenshot of Yandex with 4 Extensions(uBlock Origin, TunnelBear blocker, Lastpass and Lightshot) and reddit open.

Yandex is based on Chromium, I've disabled Smooth Scrolling via browser://flags (chrome://flags work too O_o)
