Tried this. Refuses to work correctly with Xmarks, and lastpass 2fa takes ages to come up.. Not for me, not at this point thanks.

Installed this. SOOOOOOOOOOOO many bugs. It looks nice and might have a future, but right now I'm passing.

It's much slower than Chrome on my dated laptop...and my Chrome has a whole bunch of extensions installed.

Naaah, I'll wait for an original browser to be launched. Not one built on another's problems.
Till then, I'll jump between Firefox and Chrome.

Old news, and nothing like the old Opera.

^This. Web development has been stalling for years.

Old opera was the best browser.Since they started using the Chromuim platform it has lost many features.

Tab stacking was extremely convenient for me back in the day.
