I haven't tried this one in a while. I'll have to give it another go.

I use it and am getting comfortable with it. It basically mimics Opera 12.x and doesn't to a bad job. I add uBlock Origin, uBlock Origin Extra and IE Tab. Honestly, I wish they had included an RSS reader built in like Opera, but it works quite well otherwise.

The only addons I need are uBlock origin and Bitwarden and I'll be happy. (Bitwarden isn't a requirement at all).

I use NextCloud for my bookmarks and email, so no need to sync stuff either.

Are they planning on adding a email client builtin like Opera 12? Because if they do I can see them including RSS reader too.

Believe it or not, I just checked into that last week. The forum posts are really old with regard to the bulitins matching Opera 12.x. There is some bad feelings with the lack of the builtin email client and RSS reader. I did use the reader a lot. It was painless and just worked.

Microsoft suspends development of touch-friendly Office apps for Windows... The focus is on the iOS, Android, Web, and Win32 versions of the apps.

Microsoft killing off the old Skype client… for real this time

Microsoft offers completely passwordless authentication for online apps, opting for phone based authentication instead.

Password vs PIN? Still something you have to type, arguably not as good as keeping a password with the OTP. A phone missing for a few hours could easily go without being reported - and guessing a PIN might not be as hard some some think.

But meh - I guess they are getting there.
