            Bug ID: 242495
           Summary: The native version of Opera needs to be removed from
                    the FreeBSD handbook
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: doc at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ultimateninjamaster948 at gmail.com

As many of you know, Opera switched from their own browser engine to Blink a
while back. When they did this, support for FreeBSD ceased. The latest version
of Opera that is available for FreeBSD natively is 12.16 ... which is extremely
outdated. It is not wise to instruct people to use a web browser from 2013. I
recommend that the native version of the Opera web browser stop being
recommended in the FreeBSD handbook, and only the Linux version of Opera should
be recommended going forward.
