The enshittification of Opera sucks… I used to like them when they had their own Presto rendering engine. I heard Vivaldi is the spiritual successor, but it, too, is based on Chromium.
Vivaldi isn’t just the spiritual successor, it’s built by the guy who made the original Opera. Its baked in Ad and Tracker blocking rival UBO and it has all the features Fox can only hope to barely emulate with Mozilla extensions.
I’ve got FF loaded up and set up how I like, but I won’t be switching over until Vivaldi doesn’t perform correctly.

So re-badged Chromium with closed source changes. Dependent on the upstream chromium. Doesnt seem like a good idea to me.

Hah you beat me to it. That’s why I said “spiritual,” because it’s still Chromium under the hood.
