Who exactly is Opera's target userbase? The kind of people who ask where they can download the browser on the livestream or ask from Facebook?
Jace Nelson
all these questions are made up and preselected.
Landon Perez
People who don't want Edge/IE, FireFox or Chrome, but don't want more fringe stuff either.
Who they are, beats me.

Why would you expect Opera, a Chinese proprietary browser, to release an open source self-hosted service? Are you stupid?
No, they're working on Vivaldi. And Firefox Quantum is nowhere nearly as bad as Opera 13 was.

Is it anudda Australis? Or worse?
Nathaniel Miller
Unironically, Africa.
Robert Flores
Wouldn't that be because mobile browsing on old phones is the predominant form of browsing in Africa?

well, umm. It's different. The browser is now waay faster than it ever was, but it also is a bit more resource-intensive. Also the whole extension system is completely different, so some new stuff now exists like addons being more secure and I think being able to be multi-core (or was it multi-process?) while some old addons like downthemall or self-destructing cookies won't work anymore (although SDC has a replacement with Cookie Auto-Delete).
Basically, XUL is dead, and replaced with the new WebExtensions standard that can apparently be somewhat more cross-browser.
