There’s also Arc for Mac. Nice but still too chromeish for me. Thank god there’s Safari
Safari might have better performance than others but I feel like the UI is pretty clunky, and as a développer, god I HATE safari and all their differences with every other major browser.

And yet it is missing tons of electron apps.
Midori, Falkon, Vivaldi, Epiphany, and maybe if you have to - silk are all browsers I'd use over chrome.

It's so sad that Presto didn't get FOSSed.
Technically it already depended on plenty of FOSS technologies, like gstreamer etc.
We know this from the leak which allowed to compile a working browser.
If only it was legally released, it would still be alive, I'm sure of that - there were even patches for the leaked source adding functionality and fixing bugs.
Am I crazy for using Opera? I switched from chrome 3 years ago and have enjoyed everything about Opera even their "gamer" browser OperaGX is just a great experience.
I haven't used Opera in a long time, but I used it heavily 20 years ago. Back then you had to pay for it or there was a big ad banner on the toolbar.
It certainly wasn't always Chromium based, Chrome didn't come along until 2009 or something. Not sure when that change happened.
If I had to go back to that job I was doing (Internet Help desk) again, I'd consider Opera again. It was fast at navigating an intranet site where all the images were cached locally, but the killer feature for me was the back/forward. If you went back, all the stuff you typed in the form was still there. So you could resubmit it if the session had timed out or there was an issue.
I still use mouse gestures (an Opera thing) via extensions with whatever browser I have used since.
