Is there a reason that opera isn't listed in browsers, or that OpenOffice isn't included in office suites? I thought they had a relatively decent userbase.
Also Reddit -> Lemmy/Mbin could be added in social media.
OpenOffice for all intents and purposes has been dead for a decade, but LibreOffice (included in the graphic) is a fork which remains active and has community and is the de facto successor.
Well Opera is owned by a Chinese parent company. IMO this is much worse than using a US product.
So I've not paid close attention to opera in over a decade, clearly, because I just checked wikipedia and didn't even know that it was chromium now.
I don't have a problem with using a Chinese owned app - I'm neither tankie nor sinophobe, an increasingly lonely position - but I can see now why opera wouldn't be included. Thanks!
And even if ownership wasn't a concern, Opera completely lost me when they let go most of their original developers at around the same time. Vivaldi is the spiritual successor with many original developers. I count that as a win in the ethical direction anyway (even if they still run chromium under the hood as well.)
Since this was posted to Lemmy, seems like a definite miss! Real nice info graphic though, thanks OP.
