I have been working with Web technologies since 1992. I have co-founded two browser companies, Opera Software and Vivaldi Technologies. I was CEO at Opera and I am CEO at Vivaldi.
I am a strong proponent of open standards. I believe in building feature rich products that can be adapted to the needs of users without collecting information about usage. I believe no company has the right to profile their users.

I wish I could have used Presto, but sadly that is not an option. The Presto code was much better in many ways that both Gecko and Blink. It was all in one. Very little 3rd party code. It compiled in a couple of minutes on a slow computer.
At this time the Chromium codebase is the best available.
Clearly there is a lot more to a browser than just the core and we modify the core as needed as well, so I hope you see we are providing something special here.
Indeed, we are using Chromium, but there really is not a lot of choice. I hope you will make the switch. If you liked Opera 12, you will love Vivaldi.

Give it a try. There is a lot of productivity features to play with.

Thanks for your kind words. Did you try Workspaces in Vivaldi as well? Quick commands? The searchable Window panel?
We will do our best to keep you happy. We will not least continue to improve our ad blocker.
Glad to hear that. Thanks for your support.
Have you tried looking at the Windows panel? You can sort tabs there. The search there is pretty helpful as well.
We continue to work on the ad blocker. It will continue to improve.

I think it is always prudent to be careful with your choice of software. On the other hand, if you know that the browser you use is collecting your data, maybe it is OK to look at alternatives?
Overall I think competition is a good thing. It brings progress. Think about how the browser market would be if the only choice was IE/Edge?
