The notion that I am aiming to topple Chrome is something invented by that pea-brained idiot Sotos, who out of jealousy and frustration always brings up Google and foolishly compares me with a conglomerate in the hope that he will crush my spirit and I’ll abandon the project he is so envious of.
As if that's ever gonna happen...
I have always said that you can have no significant market share at all, that it will be a total waste of your time and that you will never make any money out of this. So have you made any money from this? No. Will you make any money? No. You are just wasting your time, just like I said you would
The Classic is here to stay and I will be expanding my market share and I will be taking an early retirement just as I planned, while you’ll be stewing in your juice over in Limassol.
Oh and I may also combine it with a full blown search engine just to watch you blow a gasket!
You will need to simplify your browser considerably. You looking at Opera will be good for you but you also need to add your own innovation/s.
Opera is very simple, lite, fast and its no nonsense.
You will need to stick to what's important to most of us.
Plus, you need to change the look of your browser. make it more minimalist and modern.
opera is a very under rated browser. It should be absolutely killing Chrome and Mozilla.
This is what Opera do really well:
1) Battery Saver - 10+ hours on a lap top in battery saver mode
2) Built in add blocker
3) Built in VPN
4) Quick or Turbo Search
5) Security - with Ghostery and HTTPS
6) Speed Dial
7) Great customizability
8.) news page
