Besides speed, what would actually suck about surfing the internet back in the day compared to now? - eviltoast

My pick would be, dealing with the ‘wild west’ atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

    Opera didn’t use chromium back then.

    Chrome was kind of late to the web browsers market.

    Opera was initially released on 10 April 1995, making it one of the oldest desktop web browsers still actively developed. It was commercial software for its first ten years and had its own proprietary layout engine, Presto. In 2013, it switched from the Presto engine to Chromium.
