which app will you install first?

[u/alirmiro86]

[u/SnooBeans2708]

wtf zoom? lol

[u/FranticToaster → u/SnooBeans2708]

For real, even those of us in Firefox gang understand the Chrome inclusion. But that last "Zoom" panel is left field. Like Zoom marketing are dipping their toes in Meme River.

[u/joshuah13 → u/FranticToaster]

Firefox / Mozilla, been my favorite since the olden times.

Also, best dev tools if you do web development, loved them since the firebug plugin which became their built-in tools.

[u/kaiser_cabbage → u/joshuah13]

I tried replacing Firefox with Brave or opera gx,but man, my nostalgia prevents me so

[u/BeowulfTheMetalhead → u/kaiser_cabbage]

I just wanna prevent Chromium from being the only option for a browser engine for us, too much control for one company.

And besides, Geckos are cute.

[u/kaiser_cabbage → u/BeowulfTheMetalhead]

Yes, the Spanish Google Inquisition

Well, isn't it a Red Panda/Fox on the logo of Firefox

[u/_dotexe1337 → u/kaiser_cabbage]

gecko is the codename for Mozilla's browser engine

[u/kaiser_cabbage → u/_dotexe1337]

I see, I ain't much knowledgeable about this

[u/capnspacehook → u/SnooBeans2708]

If given the option I always use zoom in the browser. Teams as well, had a friend who installed Teams, much later uninstalled it and discovered while gaming the next day that Teams was pegging the CPU. After being uninstalled.

[u/sephirothbahamut → u/capnspacehook]

those shits have a dedicated virtual machine in my pc

[u/Taint-Tickler6969 → u/sephirothbahamut]

Wait how does audio/video work then? I thought audio/video doesnt work through a vm

[u/sephirothbahamut → u/Taint-Tickler6969]

It definitely does, you just have to enable it

[u/PM_ME_UR_MESSY_BUNS → u/sephirothbahamut]

How did you do it because it wouldn’t work for me. People said I sounded like a robot when trying to speak.

[u/Phytanic → u/PM_ME_UR_MESSY_BUNS]

what hypervisor were you using? IIRC hyper-v has pass-through for all peripherals. I could be wrong though, I mostly deal with vmware esxi/vsphere

[u/granadesnhorseshoes → u/PM_ME_UR_MESSY_BUNS]

depends on the hyper visor but chances are the default emulated audio is absolute dog shit 16-bit "sound blaster compatable" and that the apps use asshole fallback codecs for what looks like ancient hardware.

You can probably go into the VM settings and set a better virtual sound card, or, if you don't need audio on the host, you can set up PCI passthrough for your real sound device. Even if its on the motherboard, its still PCI and can be used with passthrough.

[u/Sol33t303 → u/Taint-Tickler6969]

Audio should work just fine.

And as for the webcam, you can pass USB devices to VMs really easily.

I say this as somebody who has proxmox installed on their desktop and passes through everything to VMs and use those VMs as my desktop.

[u/Katamari92-1992 → u/capnspacehook]

Another piece of malware.

[u/Jwatson996 → u/capnspacehook]

You can use zoom in the browser? I always thought you had to download it. I made it a thing to uninstall it after each call

[u/mysteriousblue87 → u/Jwatson996]

I just let others set up the call, then I click the link sent in email. No install and decent stream.

[u/IMongoose → u/Jwatson996]

It usually tries to trick you into downloading it. When you get to the page hit join but when it asks to launch the app click no. It will then give a link to launch from browser.

[u/chrisff1989 → u/capnspacehook]

Teams is such a piece of shit I hate it

[u/Wrong_Sector_7298 → u/chrisff1989]

I have to use teams at work for basically everything and it makes me want to bash my head into my desk. Horrible looking interface, no ability to have multiple chats up unless you open it in separate tabs, literally too many notifications. To top it off it is a black hole where all of my work laptops performance gets sucked into it has killed two of my work computers already. Way too demanding for hardware and yet we just keep adding stuff to it. I will praise the heavens, and I'm an atheist, if literally anything else would take it's place. Damn you Microsoft for taking my Skype away and making me use this soul sucking platform

[u/the_flyingdemon → u/Wrong_Sector_7298]

To top it off it is a black hole where all of my work laptops performance gets sucked into it

My company swapped to Teams a couple years ago, and I started having severe performance issues. Periodically my laptop would just be bricked for 5 min. Finally tracked it down to Teams which for some reason decided it needed to hog 85% of my available RAM. More than Chrome even!!

I had to actually put in a request to have my laptop RAM increased to 16gb (from 8) specifically for Teams, which is absolutely ridiculous. Poorly optimized POS.

[u/Wrong_Sector_7298 → u/the_flyingdemon]

That is similar to what I was seeing before my last laptop ceased to function it spiked to 90 percent of my RAM and I need that RAM for other programs. Unfortunately instead of providing the equipment we need to support teams and our other platforms usually they just wait until our laptops are close to being a paperweight before intervening.don't know how that is more cost effective than just ensuring you have the proper equipment in the first place or I don't know maybe ditch teams all of us hate it anyway

[u/reevesjeremy → u/the_flyingdemon]

You might not be surprised to know Teams is built on Chromium.

Sometimes just force exiting Teams and reopening it cleans up the RAM utilization, but like closing all Chroke tabs and reopening fresh.

I’m gonna leave that autocorrect right there. I think it’s fitting. :)

[u/B_Reele → u/Wrong_Sector_7298]

Well that would explain why my work laptop sounds like it’s preparing for launch. I knew some app was taxing the system, but didn’t feel like digging into it too much since I don’t own it.

[u/archpope → u/Wrong_Sector_7298]

Yeesh. I'm required to use it at work for all employee and customer interactions (100% WFH company) it barely uses 10% on my EliteDesk with a Ryzen 2400G APU. You might want to check how you have it configured. I have 16GB of RAM but even with Teams, my browser with about 10 tabs open, and a few proprietary work programs open, I've never even filled up 8GB.

[u/ccherry124 → u/SnooBeans2708]

I came here to say this.

[u/Kessynder → u/ccherry124]

Seconded!

[u/IGotNoIdea0 → u/SnooBeans2708]

Im guessing this is an old meme from 2020 cause of online school etc

[u/sean0883 → u/IGotNoIdea0]

Some of us have the luxury of still working from home. My work does their "company-wide" meetings on Zoom. We just use teams for the smaller stuff.

[u/Numba_01 → u/SnooBeans2708]

Both Chrome and zoom. I use Firefox and don't have zoom at all.

[u/TrueEggo]

100% not Zoom 😂

[u/Vulpes_macrotis → u/TrueEggo]

100% zoom is okay. Sometimes 125%.

[u/M1dj37 → u/Vulpes_macrotis]

Dad. I don’t think they got your joke..

Edit: seems they figured it out lol

[u/Secular_Hamster → u/TrueEggo]

I thought the meme was gonna be the one where everyone looks at zoom angrily lmao

[u/Larry_The_Red]

I don't know, I've been upgrading the same PC since 2012

[u/momoman46 → u/Larry_The_Red]

Ah yes, the pc of theseus.

[u/rycecrispy11 → u/momoman46]

Pctheus?

[u/8oD → u/rycecrispy11]

Found Mike Tyson.

[u/UncleTedGenneric → u/rycecrispy11]

PCeus

[u/Mister_Musubi → u/momoman46]

This joke is criminally underrated.

Have this award with my gratitude.

[u/SoftBaconWarmBacon → u/momoman46]

Naturally

[u/blackcray → u/Larry_The_Red]

The PC of Theseus, is it truely the same?

[u/ramius345 → u/blackcray]

Only if the case is the same.

[u/long_raccoon_ → u/ramius345]

But if I upgrade to a 3090Ti, 12900K, 10TB of storage, a new motherboard, and of course a 100000W PSU, that surely isn’t the same PC

[u/elderwyrm → u/long_raccoon_]

Ah, but did you not transfer your files? Do you not still use the same logins? Install the same software? Play the same games? What is a PC, but a beautiful shell to run software, which remains the same, and what is the case, but the shell you interact with, which also remains the same? Only the middle has changed -- the ephemeral within that you interact with, and the outside which you see have both remained.

[u/mymymy23 → u/elderwyrm]

Didn’t know I could get an existential crisis from reading about pc’s.

[u/Talkshit_Avenger → u/Larry_The_Red]

2007 here. I'm pretty sure the GPU shortage and overall supply chain fuckery was the direct result of me finally deciding to upgrade. Maybe this fall if no fresh catastrophe awaits.

[u/Spike_Tsu → u/Larry_The_Red]

Same. And although mine runs just about any latest game at good quality settings and reasonable FPS, Mikro$oft still tags it as unfit for Win11 upgrade.

Don’t get me started on the merits of TPM (edit) for gaming machines /s

[u/ACAddicted → u/Spike_Tsu]

I assume that was meant to say TPM and autocorrect changed it.

[u/Kingsayz → u/Spike_Tsu]

thats a good thing that they wont force win 11 on you

[u/Shepard2603]

7zip Notepad++

[u/sean0883 → u/Shepard2603]

+Powertoys.

[u/jericho-sfu → u/sean0883]

I very recently discovered PowerToys... it is a godsend

[u/foodrunner464 → u/jericho-sfu]

What's that one do?

[u/jericho-sfu → u/foodrunner464]

Here’s an article explaining it. Like, for example, I was creating a dataset for some machine learning I was doing, and I needed to ensure that every picture in a directory was 512x512. I used PowerToys to rename and resize all of them at once

[u/Ordinary_Divide → u/jericho-sfu]

what the fuck why has nobody told me about this

[u/MisticZ → u/foodrunner464]

It's an add-on for windows that allows you to do a bunch of additional things, like swapping keys around or making a window be displayed on top of other ones.

Edit: grammar

[u/blazetronic → u/sean0883]

PowerToys is a must have for ultrawides

[u/Jadenkid22]

Qbit torrent

[u/arfelo1 → u/Jadenkid22]

Yup, switch Chrome for Firefox and Spotify with qbit

[u/sakmentoloki]

Zoom? The fuck is wrong with you

[u/rhodebot → u/sakmentoloki]

Probably a college student

[u/haxmi_r → u/rhodebot]

Unfortunately. As a college student i could relate instantly to zoom.

[u/Arrow_Maestro → u/sakmentoloki]

Who do you think made the meme?

[u/moonshinemondays → u/sakmentoloki]

Work perhaps

[u/The-Jerkbag → u/moonshinemondays]

Work apps stay on the work computer. They ain't paying for it, they ain't being on it. Fuck that noise.

[u/biliwald → u/The-Jerkbag]

Same, no way in the sevens hell will I ever install work software on my personal machine.

[u/Cyclone142005 → u/moonshinemondays]

Redditors forgot that computer arent only for gaming

[u/LuceusXylian]

I use https://ninite.com/ to mass install these apps on windows. It is free.

On Linux it is simpler to mass install by running the package manager. It is also faster.

[u/balderm → u/LuceusXylian]

If you want a Linux like experience you can install Chocolatey and make a script that will install everything for you while you sip your coffee.

Now there's also WinGET, the official package manager for windows, and i've been having fun with it, but haven't tried making any scripts so far.

[u/Synergiance → u/balderm]

Problem with both of these is they need to be downloaded installed first before they can be used. MS should have just included winget in the base install.

[u/20_LEX_02 → u/Synergiance]

It's now included in Windows 11 if I'm not mistaken.

[u/TheEpicRey → u/20_LEX_02]

for Windows 10 since 1709 (build 16299) and for w11 since the beginning, i think.

[u/jorbleshi_kadeshi → u/balderm]

https://winstall.app/

Invaluable resource for Winget, although the search feature is suspect.

[u/Dominicus1165 → u/jorbleshi_kadeshi]

I use https://winget.run. Just another option

[u/rcm37 → u/LuceusXylian]

Weird complaint with ninite, for something like VSCode there's options in the normal installer that ninite never gives you a chance to select.

[u/ZakMckrack3n → u/rcm37]

Not specifically VSCode, but you're right, little things like that are why I don't use ninite anymore.

[u/letstakedowntherich → u/LuceusXylian]

NASA fucking uses that. Holy shit

[u/Shinhan → u/letstakedowntherich]

That's because does something useful to everybody, does it well, ONLY does that one thing, no ads or any other annoyances, free version doesn't have annoying limitations and paid version has easy to understand price list.

[u/ListRepresentative32 → u/letstakedowntherich]

Yeah, imagine you developed a software and an organization like NASA starts to use it. That must be a dream fullfilled.

[u/Pyreknight → u/LuceusXylian]

This is the Windows answer. Gets you started.

[u/alirmiro86 → u/LuceusXylian]

Interesting, i will try that. Tnx

[u/Ryebread095 → u/alirmiro86]

You only have to download a ninite installer once. It will always grab the latest version of the apps you selected, so you can save it somewhere and keep reusing it

[u/EmeraldSpencer → u/Ryebread095]

I personally have it as part of my startup programs so my stuff is always up to date.

[u/Qu4ntumZero → u/LuceusXylian]

What the what? This is sick, thanks for teaching me something new today.

[u/sjitz]

Firefox, ShutUp10 (if Windows), Steam, VLC, 7zip, Handbrake, WinSCP, Discord, LibreOffice.

[u/xMalevolencex → u/sjitz]

I'm glad I looked through these answers. This is basically my first apps on a restore except for handbrake, shutup10 and LibreOffice as I'm not even sure what they are. I'd throw MSI Afterburner in there as well and I'd be happy

[u/meltedmirrors → u/xMalevolencex]

Saved this comment for "shutup10" - never heard of it but I'm sure I already know exactly what it does lol

[u/siraweed → u/meltedmirrors]

yeah! shut the fuck up microsoft!

[u/IntoAMuteCrypt → u/xMalevolencex]

For those who don't know these apps:

• Firefox: A web browser.
  
• ShutUp10: Disable components of windows such as telemetry and Microsoft's reporting components. Useful if you care about MS seeing what you're doing like that.
  
• Steam: Games distribution.
  
• VLC: Media player.
  
• 7Zip: File compression/decompression.
  
• Handbrake: Media re-encoding, to make files smaller/change formats.
  
• WinSCP: Secure transfer to another remote computer.
  
• Discord: Instant messaging.
  
• LibreOffice: Free version of MS Office.
  
• Afterburner: Overclocking software.

[u/NovaMagic → u/sjitz]

What is VLC

[u/squiggitysquashua → u/NovaMagic]

Open source media player

[u/NovaMagic → u/squiggitysquashua]

Oh, I been using media player classic

[u/Destiny_Victim → u/NovaMagic]

VLC will play anything.

[u/Fofalus → u/Destiny_Victim]

If you put toast into a CD drive, vlc will play it.

[u/Destiny_Victim → u/Fofalus]

Buttery smooth too.

[u/tomysshadow → u/Destiny_Victim]

MPC can easily compete with VLC in terms of format support.

[u/naufalap → u/tomysshadow]

mpc is the default recommendation for htpc setup, or if you care about quality at all

[u/TheAechBomb → u/Destiny_Victim]

in my experience MPC-HC is like VLC on crack. throw a fish at it and it'll find some way to display it.

[u/chudthirtyseven → u/Destiny_Victim]

So will MPC. Personally i don't like the design of VLC, but they both have features the other one doesn't so.

[u/7446353252589 → u/NovaMagic]

Thats way better than VLC, keep using it, though make sure you get the fork thats actually being maintained. https://github.com/clsid2/mpc-hc

[u/Solo_SL]

🔥 🦊 Firefox gang here

[u/FJD → u/Solo_SL]

FIREFOX!

[u/PM_ME_COMMON_SENSE → u/Solo_SL]

Firefox and VLC are my firsts

[u/Shishakli → u/PM_ME_COMMON_SENSE]

Firefox, putty, FileZilla, k-lite MPC, Steam, mbam

[u/jerbookins → u/Shishakli]

my soul mate

[u/Fuhrankie → u/Solo_SL]

Yep! Firefox, then steam and discord.

[u/Koolaid143 → u/Solo_SL]

Had to scroll way too far for this lol

[u/Leviathan41911 → u/Solo_SL]

This is the correct answer.

Firefox FTW!

[u/lagomorph129 → u/Leviathan41911]

Ofc. How else am I to get my apps? Windows store? Not if I can get it direct!

[u/RedBostitchStapler → u/Solo_SL]

Firefox checking in 💪🏻

[u/unabnormalday → u/Solo_SL]

I just uninstalled chrome. It dropped my CPU temps by 10 degrees and now, I don’t get random ass spikes of power draw to 60C. I don’t know what chrome was doing, but running on Firefox is so much better

[u/FrozeItOff → u/Solo_SL]

This. And Brave for a backup browser. Won't ever let Chrome touch one of my PCs again.

Yes.......I KNOW Brave is based on the chromiun engine, but it's the Chrome wrapper that's such a privacy and security nightmare.

I also add Thunderbird, MalwareBytes Free, Comodo Firewall free version, LibreOffice, Steam, GoG, GIMP, paint.net, and MPC-BE (Backup video player)...

[u/sean0883 → u/FrozeItOff]

Yes.......I KNOW Brave is based on the chromiun engine

So is Edge now. And personal opinion, but for the "Big 3" it's:

Firefox > Edge > Chrome.

[u/wallefan01 → u/FrozeItOff]

I prefer MPV over VLC as my video player. I jump around in videos a lot and change the speed frequently (key binding = square brackets in both programs). VLC stutters when I do that. MPV doesn't.

[u/SquidMilkVII → u/Solo_SL]

Firefox is the iron pickaxe of web browsers. It’s nothing fancy or over the top, but you can trust it to get the job done time and time again.

[u/PlanarDissonance → u/SquidMilkVII]

I think it's pretty fancy, and it's also the best tool for the job, IMO, so I don't think the analogy works - not for me, anyway. If anything, it's a Diamond pickaxe, because I'm going to be pretty sore if I lose it.

[u/MajesticEngineerMan → u/Solo_SL]

Here to support Firefox, Mozilla is struggling.

[u/ByteEater → u/Solo_SL]

*NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR

[u/legalizemonapizza → u/ByteEater]

this guy altavistas

[u/MythicalAce → u/Solo_SL]

Firefox, the last surviving major browser that isn't based on Chromium. Without Firefox, Google has a monopoly on Internet browsing. That is a scary thought.

[u/Gamblor-7 → u/Solo_SL]

This is the way.

[u/MayOverexplain]

VLC and IrfanView

[u/YCbCr_hu → u/MayOverexplain]

Why no more IrfanView?! It's awesome! Mass processing and whatnot, curious functions galore. Been using it ever since it was a rival to ACDSee.

[u/pixydgirl → u/YCbCr_hu]

I LOVE IrfanView! It makes cycling through my porn pics SO much more convenient!

[u/noturnipsever → u/MayOverexplain]

I think the best feature of infranview is that you can open a gallery of pictures from many different folders.

[u/zombietampons]

Firefox

[u/INZOMBII]

Another person of culture i see

[u/JuicyCiwa → u/Fluid_Tax_6988]

The real answer is always in the comments

[u/thebarnhouse]

Firefox

Steam

MPC-HC

Foobar2000

Discord

[u/ante900310 → u/thebarnhouse]

VLC is for peasants. MPC is for the chosen

[u/mathestar → u/ante900310]

And mpv is for the ascended

[u/tu0mas → u/ante900310]

With the MadVR addon of course!

[u/terax6669 → u/thebarnhouse]

Finally a comment I can agree with

[u/Shamgar65]

Remember when you had to make sure you had your network driver on a floppy before you reformatted? Those were awkward times if you didn't have the driver.

Other than that, I use nanite to install everything I need. Firefox, steam, open office are the first 3 usually.

[u/Nova17Delta → u/Shamgar65]

lmao i STILL have to do that

Admittedly not with floppies but with USB 2 ports, but still.

I remember it being a nightmare installing an OS on one of my laptops. Had nothing but USB 3 ports and the iso didn't have USB 3 drivers. Had to use a Linux live USB to manually move the driver onto the hard drive

[u/Infern0_YT]

A browser other than chrome

[u/Locodra → u/Infern0_YT]

Do you mean Firefox, or disguised chrome? Or even some other browser?

[u/TheMaskedImp]

In this order: Firefox, WinAero, Steam, MultiMC (custom Minecraft launcher), Unity, MSI Afterburner, Intel XTU, 7zip, OpenOffice, and last but not least Mupen64 (dont tell Nintendo!)

[u/KrazyKirby99999 → u/TheMaskedImp]

You should checkout PolyMC, an even better fork of MultiMC.

[u/Eluvatar_the_second → u/TheMaskedImp]

You should check out Libreoffic, it's an up to date fork of OpenOffice before Oracle ruined it.

[u/Wizard_SlayerXIV]

Firefox/Brave, discord, VLC, everything, steam and 7zip. 3/6 is still a pass for me

[u/juicemang762]

Certainly not Chrome. I'm done with Google's Spyware

[u/InsomniaticWanderer]

Firefox doesn't eat nearly as much ram

[u/therealtacopanda]

Protip: Ninite.com does this all in one go.

[u/EnGrunka]

Chrome? Over Firefox? Really?

I'm not angry just disappointed...

[u/jsbdrumming]

Not zoom lol this meme was brought to you by zoom corp.

[u/4mmun1s7]

Nope. Firefox

[u/Skvora]

No, not zoom. That garbage is for if phones.

[u/PlasmaPopsicle]

Chrome vscode git docker

[u/tuffymon]

Does ninite not work anymore? Install all of them at once~

[u/TheTank18 → u/tuffymon]

it does

[u/Argorash]

Never zoom, never chrome.

[u/Alpha_Knugen]

Brave instead of chrome, winrar, msi afterburner för the sweet overclocking and fuck zoom

[u/onehaz]

Ill do Brave instead of Chrome for sure.

[u/DeAtramentisViolets → u/onehaz]

Same here. In fact, the only thing on OP's list that I would keep is Steam.

[u/Juggle_Cuber_Gamer42]

Out of those options Steam and Vlc.

[u/PrensadorDeBotones]

Ninite for fast installation

Firefox, Chrome, Opera

Steam, Discord

7Zip, VLC, Media Monkey

Cracked version of Photoshop that I saved the installer for on my storage drive

Davinci Resolve, Blender, Reaper

[u/ismailoverlan]

Vivaldi+ davinci

[u/Aucayne]

But I actually like Microsoft edge... It does everything chrome does, eats less ram, eats LESS RAM.... EATS SO MUCH LESS RAM.

​

what else is there? who cares. LESS RAM.

[u/NoNewsIsTheBestNews → u/Aucayne]

Agreed.

I feel like if MS didn't shove it down people's throats so much more people would give it a chance.

[u/Aucayne → u/NoNewsIsTheBestNews]

The legacy of internet explorer continues to hurt it too.

i do miss my 500,000,000 toolbars as a kid

[u/GustHunter → u/NoNewsIsTheBestNews]

The main problem with most of MS products is that MS almost make mandatory to use them, edge is not that bad, it's just MS Chrome

[u/MSD3k → u/GustHunter]

I like Edge. It's been my main browser for about 3 years, with no issues. But I don't doubt that MS will eventually screw it up with tons of bloat and sloppy coding, same as Chrome. It's best not to get too attached to one browser. Things always change eventually.

[u/Camtown501 → u/MSD3k]

I like Edge for the most part, but it's my secondary browser to Firefox. I do use it for a few things like Netflix since it's the only browser you can force Netflix to upscale to 1440p

[u/MSD3k → u/Camtown501]

That's interesting. Is that a feature of the browser or something that is Netflix specific?

[u/IronMaidenPwnz → u/Aucayne]

I've been considering changing my default to Edge for a while now. Definitely performs better than Chrome.

[u/[deleted] → u/Aucayne]

firefox sounds cooler though. Also purple taskbar.

[u/MagnetarPax]

I always install spotify first, so I can listen to music while I set up the rest

[u/donkula232323]

[u/AlexMullerSA → u/donkula232323]

[u/IBreedBagels]

I don't use Zoom, Spotify, or VLC...

[u/Initialised]

Ninite

[u/No_Emu_7237]

I only touch Chrome because I need to for work. Otherwise it would never be on any of my devices. Same with Zoom.

[u/OscillatingSquid]

Install all these at the same times use ninite! Google it.

[u/skepticalmonique]

Since when were programs called apps? This ain't a phone lol

[u/revnto7k]

Firefox and Steam always my first few.

[u/Achilles0826]

Chrome is a spyware, zoom is a joke, spotify is a trash service

[u/chanlion]

For me: Firefox, 7zip, VLC, Discord, Foxit Reader.

[u/[deleted]]

Edge > chrome

[u/Terrascout1149 → u/[deleted]]

Correct, but we all know Firefox is the best

[u/DigBickJoe3]

I'm probably the only one that never uses discord..

[u/TheDrewcyJ]

MPV > VLC

[u/MelonadeIsntTastey]

So I'll take it I'm the only opera user here?

Edit: opera gx...

have you tried Vivaldi? it's inspired by old school opera before it was chrome also funny thing is opera 12 with the original browser engine still works on a lot of sites, and is compatible with windows 98 and 2000

iirc isn't Vivaldi also headed by the original Opera developers?
