Is anyone running the Opera browser on Centos 7 or 6? While not available in a yum-repository, it seems to be available as a snap-package. Not familiar with those yet but curious if the browser is worthwhile to run. I have generally found Firefox less useful/compatible than Chromium but would also like alternatives, particularly since Opera defaults to a VPN-connection.

Although not on CentOS, I have run Opera for some time as a result of my dislike of some of the politics elsewhere. It has some unique features but I have not found it to be as compatible as Firefox, there are situations where it does not work and Firefox does. Unfortunately I haven't gone to the effort to categorize those experiences, they aren't too frequent. ________________________________ From: CentOS <centos-bounces at centos.org> on behalf of Greg Bailey <gbailey at lxpro.com> Sent: Monday, May 20, 2019 8:35:40 AM To: centos at centos.org Harriscomputer Leroy Tennison Network Information/Cyber Security Specialist E: leroy at datavoiceint.com [cid:Data-Voice-International-LOGO_aa3d1c6e-5cfb-451f-ba2c-af8059e69609.PNG] 2220 Bush Dr McKinney, Texas 75070 www.datavoiceint.com<http://www..com> This message has been sent on behalf of a company that is part of the Harris Operating Group of Constellation Software Inc.
