      I love Opera’s response to some of the idiotic speed test ads: https://youtu.be/zaT7thTxyq8

      This was before Opera dropped their own engine and became just another Chrome skin unfortunately.

      For those who missed the original Chrome ads, here they are: https://youtu.be/nCgQDjiotG0

        I really miss the old Opera. Dropped it immediately when they went with Chrome.

        They had some iconic ads back in the day. Some examples:

        Speed - https://youtu.be/FaNpWJY9SEs

        Stability - https://youtu.be/GZRZcKEtHzo

        Security - https://youtu.be/ekeRDKxQe1g

        Edit: cleaned up the links

          Huh, watching this in current year, the “crashed tabs won’t crash your browser” one feels like an oddly technical detail to include in a commercial. I guess I’m just so used to it now that it’s hard for me to imagine that web browsers weren’t always as reliable as they are now.

          Also, look, I appreciate your comment, but could you please at least remove the ?si= tracking nonsense from your youtube links?

          For everyone else, here are nvidious links:

            People forget but when chrome first came out it was extremely ahead of the competition.

            I’d also like to add, to whomever it may concern, that you can find a userscript to automatically convert youtube links into invidious links, among other things, here.

            There’s a couple others made by the same guy you may be interested in, like a basic link tracker remover

        Their chrome and play store ads will forever be seared in my brain.
