> I keep waiting for bookmark sync, which today is a fundamental browser feature rather than a nice-to-have.
Is it really ? I have not used bookmarks since del.icio.us and never need any bookmarks sync as my bookmarks are not in the browser but in my wallabag.
> it's probably no exaggeration to say that most users haven't used a desktop email client in over a decade. So why is such a retro throwback feature prioritized so high?
my grandma, my grandpa, my mum, my dad, ... well everyone but my little cousin who only use a smartphone uses an email client, mostly thunderbird.
This feature is prioritized so high because it is one, if not the most requested feature through user feedback

I don't know what you are talking about. Just click a few pixels below on "open link in a background tab" instead of "open link in a new tab", problem solved.
> I just don't WANT Opera from 15 years ago. (...) I want other browsers to mirror Chrome.
Well then Vivaldi is not for you, just use any other browser. What I like about vivaldi is that it does not try to be like chrome and instead cater to power users like me and try to fulfill needs that other browser do not because they are too busy trying to be like chrome (which I dislike and never used on my boxes).

If I bookmark something on a mobile device or a laptop, I want it to be available on my desktop (and vice-versa), without having to use third party tools.
