Over the years, my teams have made a lot of different browsers on a lot of different devices. Which of the browsers below have you tried?

@jon The DS Browser? Still working? In the year 2025? Not really unfortunately. It can still search through Google and Yahoo (lol) but loading any https page will result in a network problem error (http only sites still work though). But still a fun blast from the past!

P.S. Not getting the Wii out, it's always an ungodly mess of cables and subsequent frustration untangling it.

@jon@vivaldi.net Depends. Old Opera or Chinese Opera? Because old Opera was nice.

@jon@vivaldi.net There was also Opera Mobile. I had it together with Mini on a few Nokia phones.

@jon@vivaldi.net none I only use FF

@jon@vivaldi.net Although the poll is still live, I like seeing that 'Vivaldi Mobile' is holding court and sad I'm old enough to remember Wii having a browser. Straight up Vivaldi browser now - as you may know. Good poll, btw.

@jon@vivaldi.net I had a period where I jumped around a bunch of web browsers before I finally settled on Firefox, but I did recall being a big fan of Opera (around version 10, I think). My fondness of Opera from that time is what made me so confident about jumping onto Vivaldi, and I've been loving my time with it ever since.

Opera on the Wii was such a fun and weird experience for me. I was fascinated by the ability to visit websites on my TV, it was so weird and new to me at the time... but can't say I did much anything practical with it lol.

@jon@vivaldi.net also to note. I offered my mother FF and Opera --> she always used Opera. In the meantime I moved her to Vivaldi.

Even if she uses no features and even tabs are some kind of strange to her, the opera / Vivaldi design seems appealing to her.

@jon@vivaldi.net I really loved Opera (the real one, of course), but should it still be maintained nowadays, I don’t know if it would be sufficient for me and my current browsing habits, as it was in its latest Presto version.

Opera was wonderful, but Vivaldi is even better.

@jon@vivaldi.net Opera mini on my old Sony Ericsson dumb phones: what times. 🥹

@jon I used Opera Presto. I am now using anything #gecko #mozilla hoping we will still have choice. I would love to try your browser but it is based on #chromium so I won't use it.
Thank you for Vivaldi Social and keeping Opera alive.

@jon@vivaldi.net 😂

@jon@vivaldi.net I loved Opera for Nintendo Wii :tony_wee:
I also used Opera on Archos 5 Multimedia device, Opera for Windows Mobile and on Philips NetTV

@jon@vivaldi.net I miss Presto.

@jon@vivaldi.net I loved Opera back in the day. I'm just thankful we have Vivaldi now

@jon@vivaldi.net I've used everything but Vivaldi Mobile/Automotive. For the latter I don't have the device and I don't really feel like I miss anything using the default browser on my mobile. However, I would say may favourite stays Opera with its MDI (which sadly has been "dumbed down" from version 9 or so to 12). I really appreciate the work going into the tab tiling in Vivaldi, but it still feels a bit clunky to use. Probably because it has to be built on top of the available codebase instead being an integral part of the browser. And every now and then I remember a neat little barely used thing Opera had and miss it for a moment in every other browser.
