I was using Opera for its UX despite its constant degradation and other well-known matters. The last straw was when they added borders around main webview, so you can’t use “click or scroll aside” action anymore. Switched to Vivaldi and it feels like that old Opera, which I always liked. Why: - UI settings and behaviors which in other browsers are considered excessive, confusing and inducing panic attacks for a mythical regular user. Pretty ordinary for detailed enumeration, that’s just my workflow and QoL for years. - Not google. That’s pretty much it. Popular browser UIs just suck. They are nothing more than a basic shell around a webview and do not feel like you’re using an app. To me they feel like notepad instead of <your ide/editor>. I wouldn’t call it not heavy, pretty much the opposite. I also compared Chrome and Vivaldi on sites I use. The actual speed difference is marginal, but Vivaldi feels slower due to lack of common ui techniques. I don’t mind it cause I know how it works.
