i really enjoyed opera 12. pity they stopped support for it.
since then i been using opera 15 onwards but it never really felt the same. ended up switching over to firefox as a primary browser.

guess if this new browser has the security and speed of firefox with the look and feel of opera 12 i just might be switching over to it.

I use Vivaldi primarily. It's not the greatest but chrome crashes on me after 5 minutes of being idol so I'll be in the middle of a video. It still has a lot of bugs to be worked out but I'm enjoying it.
