Sorry, but Vivaldi feels like Chrome. Opera still feels like Opera. Dont believe me? just open both browsers. Spam the Ctrl-T (new tab) key for a while. See the difference? Only one browser remains responsive.This is not some weird/random test case - the whole UI widgetry seems extremely fluid and ultra-responsive in a way no desktop app is.
I still use Opera, and super-apprehensive about this new development. It's still fantastic - the rendering engine change actually benefited Opera, in that it removed so many of the rendering glitches in Opera 12. Some options were lost, but it's still very configurable. I respect Hakum and the team that's still there, but not sure if they'll stick around. It will be a shame if we lose one of the best desktop apps on the planet to spyware/bloatware.
