It has free adblocker, free tracker blocker, free vpn, force dark mode, twitch/discord/twitter integration, ram/cpu limiting, ytmusic/spotify integration sidebar, and better bookmark managerment

  1. Free adblocker: Just install uBlock Origin.

  2. Free tracker blocker: That’s integrated in every other browser.

  3. Free VPN: Using a free VPN is the one of the stupidest things you could do for web security, and companies that offer one aren’t particularly trustworthy.

  4. Force dark mode: This is available in Chromium browsers via a flag.

  5. Twitch/Discord/Twitter integration: How is this different from just having Twich/Discord/Twitter pinned?

  6. RAM/CPU limiting: Fair enough. Using it just because of that is probably not a good idea though.

  7. YouTube Music/Spotify integration: See 5.

  8. Better bookmark management: Can you elaborate?

  1. i don’t usually use vpn, and i only use it to get around rate limits/article limits on websites (not for apis or anything just to read more than the 3 articles or something a month.

  1. Cause you don’t have to have the tab open…

  1. My computer has very low RAM and when I’m gaming and using Chrome/Firefox/etc., it’s terrible 🤷‍♂️

  2. But i like the sidebar 😢

Also, I just like the Opera GX Ambiance :)

  1. I still wouldn’t necessarily trust a company offering this

  2. what exactly do you mean?

  3. Aren’t there programs for that?

  4. Edge has something similar to that? But it’s useless anyways.
