OK so this is not a browser, this is an IM and VPN client that can open links on the right side

@novoreorx How isn't it a browser? What's it missing?

@samjohnson__ there's no functionality missing for Opera Reborn to be a browser, it's just not so dedicated as other browsers are, personally I think a browser should just focus on requesting and rendering pages, it can offer APIs for developers to extend it's functionality, but it shouldn't ship these things (IM, VPN) on product level.
@novoreorx@samjohnson__ If it is just another browser, how can it attract users from other browsers?

Really loving it! I was just going to test it out but I've found that I like it enough to give it a real try. Besides built-in VPN and ad-blocking, I like that they also have Opera Turbo (data saving) and battery saving features. Plus, it's really quite a beautiful, slick, and fast browser.
YEEEEEEAH BUDDY! I loved Neon, so I'm pumped to give this a try for a few days.
Can't wait to see more messaging integrations. Workplace might be a good one, as we've recently started using it. Slack, would also be good. I guess these things will come in time! 😄
Opera has always kicked ass by its own unique vision of UX and UI, and no doubt the messenger integration is a fantastic useful feature. What I am really surprised by is the fact that I can't change the position of the sidebar :)
It would be really great to be able to move the sidebar to the right side, dock it to the top, or the bottom of the window. I am personally annoyed by having it on the left all the time limiting the horizontal space.

I'm loving this. I just wish I could change the Google search on Speed Dial to DuckDuckGo or remove it.

Just tested the new Opera on Windows 10 machine, it seems to be taking much more memory compare to Chrome browser. I am going to stick Chrome for now.

@amits510 Interestingly, I have been noticing significantly better overall performance with Opera than I was with Chrome.
