What do you think of Opera becoming Chrome?

I don't know. I haven't used Opera since the 1990s.

I fully expect most people will share my view.

I think I preferred it, but what killed Opera for me was being bought by a Chinese company + seeing what that company did to Opera Max (which I thought was a "killer app" before the acquisition).

It never did - Opera was killed just after Kestrel, and a new Chrome clone was slapped with the logo and name. There is no Opera, and hasn't been for some time.

Ah, sorry, my bad, got the codenames mixed up. Presto, i.e. 12.15.

Presto was the layout engine (and called that for as long as it existed as a properly disentangled module). Desktop 12 was codenamed Wahoo.
