Opera Founder Opens Up About New Vivaldi Browser (networkworld.com)

alphadogg writes: Since the days of Mosaic in the early 1990s, Jon von Tetzchner has been working on web browsers. He is one of the creators of Opera, the alternative browser that's been a power-user favorite since 1995. His new project, Vivaldi, is heading for its first stable release. Network World sat down with von Tetzchner on Thursday to talk about Vivaldi and Opera at the Innovation House, a related venture of his.

Opera originally had it's own web engine "Presto", but that changed after version 12. They migrated to Chromium which had webkit, and now blink. Kind of a shame too because Presto was a good engine for most sites, and one of the best (if not the best) in regards to web standards at the time.

Do thay finally have that bookmark menu?

I am still on Opera 12.x because the one glaring thing the beta Vivaldi is missing is bookmarks than can be accessed easily. Having to click open the bookmark-sidebar, selecting the link and then having to click the sidebar close again is just not acceptable. Other than that, Vivaldi was fine in beta and I will be moving to it as soon as the bookmarks work well.
