Notability\Move to Software Wiki?[edit]

There have been some concerns raised over the notability of this browser. If it turns out not to be notable, here's an idea from WikiProject Software:

"Software Wikia is a wiki specialised on software using semantic extras. If a nice article does not have the required Wikipedia:Notability, simply export it and ask an admin for an import there".

Another possibility is merging this into Vivaldi (web browser). Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 09:53, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It should be stated that user can choose between both engines Qt WebEngine, QtWebKit . Except for the abandonded Rekonq and Ultralig.ht (that is not a browser but a html renderer )I cannot recall any pure Webkit-based browser supporting Microsoft Windows anymore. Almost all rely purely on QTwebengine. Rekonq was not continued in 2014. 2013 was the last year QT got updates without mandatory QTWebengine. https://www.qt.io/blog/2013/09/12/introducing-the-qt-webengine " Qt Software included a WebKit port in the Qt 4.4 release as a module called QtWebKit[72] (since superseded by Qt WebEngine, which uses Blink instead). " Some users recall that the AppleWebKit/602.1 user-agent string was displayed when using the browser: https://www.reddit.com/r/browsers/comments/vdq7td/browser_engine_in_otter/ https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Otter_Browser

Since this was written in 2016 I think the relevance of the "Otter browser" seems to be theire. I would suggest to change the info box with the additional info that QTWebengine is optional but not by default used. Anyhow I never used it and this also means that the users have the choice between an updated rendering engine and a pretty old one (if Im not missing something). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2A02:8388:4501:1F00:2557:90B:C06C:C458 (talk) 16:38, 26 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

"Origins" section is virtual gibberish[edit]

What is it trying to say? 86.153.228.211 (talk) 17:23, 23 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It seems like the section is talking about Vivaldi rather than Otter Browser? 46.188.132.53 (talk) 11:48, 18 June 2019 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

It was not just Presto what the new Opera has dropped after the 12.X series, it was the entire browser. The new "Opera" was literally a skinned Chromium. 188.143.92.194 (talk) 17:33, 31 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]
