From what you say, it seems to me you don't use opera, but the chrome skin they decided to keep the name of the actual browser for marketing reasons. I use opera since version 8.5 and I had to pin the v12.16 package to keep using it, which I still do today because there is no alternative to the features it had. And I have no idea what you are talking about, the whole opera supporters who supported it through the years pretty much agree the blink based opera sucks really hard and are happy to have vivaldi as an attempt to get back the awesomeness opera lost when it switched to making profit first.

Hey man, Opera has a tremendous legacy of innovation in the WWW, and I'm honestly glad that some entity is carrying on the old Opera spirit for you guys. You're a tiny community, but a passionate one. I'm just saying that it's not realistic to expect Vivaldi to significantly influence the industry today, the way that old Opera did 15 years ago. If you desire serious adoption, then you're making choices that set you up for a battle you're not going to win. If you don't care whether Vivaldi gets any traction at all, and are just glad that someone's keeping Opera 12.x going, then that's cool too. But I dunno... if Opera 12.x wasn't a viable business model, then how is Vivaldi going to financially sustain itself over the long term either?
