About 6 months has passed since the last working version of Opera (12.16) for Linux was released. Opera 18 (Win+Mac only) is now based on Chromium so I'm not holding my breath for it to work with C6 even if it is ever released. Chrome/Chromium is pretty much history too (libs too old). So Firefox is the only game in town. Even lesser knowns like Midori won't work either. Considering the amount of time left in the C6 support cycle, one would have thought TUV would have worked with Google to find a solution but I haven't heard a peep. How can XP, an ancient OS going EOL in a few months, still be supported for the latest Chromium but C6 not? Does anyone know of secret plans to eventually support Chrome/Chromium on C6? (crossing fingers)
