An interactive journey through 30 years of the web

Web Rewind

I have fond memories of Opera. When I migrated off of it to Phoenix, I had a really hard time adjusting to not having mouse gestures. I didn’t know how anyone lived without them.

By the time extensions came around to mimic Opera’s mouse gestures on other browsers, I could never get used to actually using them again.

I was sad to see Opera become just another incarnation of Chrome.

I used Opera so much around 2000. Small things like the X-Z shortcuts and the sheer speed blew me away.
