The new management abandoned their old codebase (and users) to suffer the slow decline of bitrot. Meanwhile they took Chromium, repainted it, added 2 features nobody cares about, left out 99% of the features people used in Opera 12 and called it a day. Then to add insult to injury and cause maximum pain to their old users, and confusion to everyone else, they called the new software package Opera and gave it a higher version number, despite it sharing no code and no features with the original software.
And, just because that wasn't enough, their new management forced employees to lie on public forums and twitter about how they were going to work towards feature parity.
I don't understand why you had to pour anger into your post. That version of Opera uses the Chromium engine, that's important to distinguish the old vs new versions...
