Opera Memes

GASP! You mean to tell me all these fancy-schmancy "revolutionary" AI browsers are just Chrome in a trench coat?! THE BETRAYAL! 😱 Look at those innocent browser icons up top, flaunting their unique personalities like they're special snowflakes. Then BAM! Put on those reality glasses and what do you see? CHROMIUM. CHROMIUM EVERYWHERE. It's like finding out all your favorite "craft" sodas come from the same factory! Google's just sitting in the corner twirling its evil mustache while Firefox desperately tries to remind us it's the only true rebel left in this Chrome-ified dystopia. I'm having an existential crisis over here!

Ah, the classic Opera GX saga of the 18KB fried egg! First they proudly announce removing this random egg image to save precious kilobytes, then immediately add it back because users revolted. This is peak software development - spend hours optimizing code, shave off a few KB, and then discover users are more attached to the random Easter egg than your performance improvements. Nothing says "modern web development" quite like fighting over 18KB in a world of multi-gigabyte downloads. Meanwhile, Chrome is sitting in the corner consuming 8GB of RAM while judging everyone.

Opera GX: "We've added the fried egg back to program files due to popular demand." Also Opera GX: "We saved 18kb by removing this fried egg image that's been sitting in our codebase since 2019." Nothing says "professional software development" quite like embedding random food pictures in your browser. Somewhere, a developer spent actual work hours arguing about egg retention in a code review. And people wonder why software updates take so long.
