I also switched to Opera as a default web browser this year, Chrome not feeling nice to use as a daily driver anymore. Almost 10 years isn't a bad innings though. So far so good.
Given the content of at least 1 other related site hosted on the same IP (simulantproductions.com), I think it's fair to say this article is satire and should be considered flamebait.
I don't mind the minimalism, it just looks weird sitting in the middle of a tee like that. Something a little more practical would have been cool, like a white tee with a beige pocket and orange trim on top of the pocket. Heck, even if it was just a printed faux practical pocket, it would actually be quite apt really.
