A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

I'm still sad about the day the real Opera with the presto rendering engine died. And while Vivaldi is getting many of the features and functionality, it's still a chromium rebuild. I guess it just takes too much money to build your own rendering engine anymore.
Even Microsoft couldn't do it.
Heck even Google couldn't do it, they used Apple's WebKit. And even Apple couldn't do it, they used KDE's KHTML. Speaking of KHTML: Konqueror is still around, though they've already decided to get rid of KHTML completely and move to one of the forks, development pretty much stalled since 2016.
And it was so fast, awww. And had a built-in BitTorrent client which didn't suck balls and didn't feel excessive.
And all that caching.
