Opera 15 came out and it is smoother than ever and better than ever. But they did this by making a Chromium-based, Blink-based Opera 15.
They removed many of the features and basically made a second Google Chrome.
WHY DID YOU DO THIS OPERAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!
Removing mail (forked into a second flagship called Opera Mail) and Notes. With an extension made by Evernote, they bring back the Notes.
IRC is now gone, and if the community-driven SeaMonkey browser were cooler, it could overtake Opera as a internet suite.
BYE!
