The true Opera fans moved to Vivaldi.

All that is left are those who got caught.

Tried using Vivaldi at one point and I really liked it but it was noticeably slower than both Firefox and chrome even though it's just another chromium fork. I've since switched back to Firefox and haven't looked back.

It is very features-heavy, but the downside of that is that it takes more resources.

firefox is slower for me lmao, still use it but compared to vivaldi, it uses more cpu and ram somehow

Actually after Opera switched engine from Presto to Blink and become another Chromium-based browser I was a bit lost, and switched between different browsers while never really had that "good connection" I had with Opera, but I eventually switched to Firefox and I don't really see any other alternative right now. It just works, and supports free and open web.

I don't see regular Opera being used, but often Opera GX. Their marketing is so powerful, and those edgy features attract gamers.
