> building on top of something

If you want that, try AoC 2019. Day 2, day 5, and then every odd day till the end: day 7, 9, 11, ... 23.

They have lower rolling resistance, in attempt to extract a bit larger range.

If you want to go back to the "original Opera", that is now Vivaldi.

Why? Vivaldi is Chromium.

So is Opera itself. Vivaldi has made more of an effort to have the same functionality and look/feel as the original Opera.

But it won't help if manifest V2 supporting code is finally deleted from Chromium.

Vivaldi already has a built-in adblocker in place, so Vivaldi ad-blocking doesn't depend on V2 being available.

This said, V2 shouldn't be removed at all because this will stifle the extension ecosystem. I predict that extensions will stagnate. Just because some ad-obsessed company killed V2 to stop an extension threatening their revenue.

And if you like to watch a mechanic working on cars, here's a nice combination of educational and entertaining:

I couldn't care less about BMWs, but I enjoy this content.

> If Rimac makes a car with that name

There already exists Volkswagen Bora, which was a sedan version of Golf 4. (Basically, a renamed Jetta; just like Vento in the generation before)

> Bora is strong wind

Fun fact: Jugo (another frequent wind on Adriatic coast) is even stronger wind, but what makes bora/bura special are strong sudden gusts.

I saw it jack-knife a semi truck on my way back from Dalamatia to Istria, all my Life I ave seen the aftermath of the Santa Ana winds in SoCal but I've never seen it happen in person, but I was stalking that truck for at least 15 mins keeping my distance as the the carriage swayed hard left an right as the Bura got stronger as we got higher in elevation.

Eventually the hitch thing that attaches to the front part of the truck snapped and sent it flying into the air and then sliding down the road, it blocked the entire 3 lane road. I checked to make sure the guy was fine and then left when the police showed up.

Ironically, I had a Bura beer [0] with my food at a cafe as I was waiting for the rain to stop. I got hme to Istria pretty late, and all my patio furniture was tossed up, The Bura is no joke, but it has a cleansing effect; everything felt lighter after that storm.

> semi truck on my way back from Dalamatia to Istria

I can guess that was under Velebit, where bura is often very strong and at those times the road is closed for motorcycles, campers, double-deckers and vehicles with trailers.

But people regularly ignore those restrictions because they are not aware of the danger.

Possibly, I couldn't tell you where exactly it was to be honest.

I'm not stranger to driving in 100MPH winds (Santa Ana), and I even did my Motorcycle endorsement in 70mph winds (I dropped their bike coming to a stop due to a freak side gust) but my little under-powered Golf was being tossed around by the Bura so bad that I was just waiting for the thing to jack knife as there were no exits for like +30km.

I took the toll road the rest of the way back to Istria as it wasn't worth it in the end.

> Honda Fita

Stretching a bit to fit a narrative?

There was never Honda Fita. In USA, that's Honda Fit, and in Europe the same car is called Honda Jazz.

The thread mentioned states that the name was changed to Jazz just before launch and that the problem with Fita was discovered pre-launch.
