I have never seen such a stringent demand for a browser. Are these severe demands related to your work? Anyway, I installed Opera and stayed up late, which I shouldn't have done, to configure it. In conclusion, I decided not to use Opera for the following reasons; 1. I use enlightenment for WM, where the focus moves with the position of the mouse pointer, but for some reason, with Opera, the mouse pointer is transparent to Opera and what is behind Opera comes to the surface, This is very difficult to use. 2. As a test, when I try to watch a news video, I get the following error on some sites; 2-1. cannot be viewed with this browser or, 2-2. this news is currently unavailable The messages appears on some sites. However, I can watch them on vivaldi without any problem, so I tried to find the cause of the problem, but could not figure it out at all. One site takes me to youtube, hoping that this will explain the problem. But on youtube, I can watch the news videos without any problem. I was surprised that Google let me through with only one robot check, but I'm not going to struggle anymore.
