There are two things I really miss about Opera. Generic Content-blocking - that is not only blocking ads but any URL-pattern of interest. And also the per-site settings. For example a lot of sites use extensive javascript only for tracking, but not for functionality visible to the user, so blocking javascript on those sites truly improves loadtime on many sites. And also being able to fine tune cookie settings per site. It's such simple functionality, but really makes a huge difference both for performance and privacy and it saddens me that Opera never will be what it once was, and probably no other browser either. :-( |

Now, Firefox might be able to fill the void, but I doubt Chrome ever can. Those kinds of features are an irritant to Google, because they want their pervasive analytics, ads, and various web-apps to work out of the box.
