When I was advised about Opera a few years go (possibly here) it was an
excellent product. Then, it sort of degraded. The part related to email
and news feeds is still the best non-HTML mail client and the way it
organizes stuff it still very close to my ideal. It proved a bit fragile
(a pair of crashes caused partial havoc in the labelling system), but I
think I'm now prepared to manage this with an improved backup procedure.
The browser started to become more and more unstable on my Mac OS X at the
point that it crashes at least twice per day. There's Opera Next, which
would also change the HTML rendering engine - but Opera decided to split
the browser from the email client. To me having both in the same
application was a plus. If the get split, at this point I don't see any
real reason to keep using the Opera browser. So, I'm considering
switching. I'd have a strong preference for a FLOSS solution - so one
option is Firefox, but I wondered about Chromium, the fully FLOSS version
of Chrome. For what I see, it only misses the Flash plugin and a few other
stuff compared to Chrome. Flash is less and less frequent, so I can
probably live without it (consider that anyway I keep all the browsers
installed on my Mac OS X for testing, so if I seldom need to browse a site
with Flash it wouldn't be a problem).
Does anybody want to share his experience with Chromium? Thanks.
