I was an Opera fan since v 3.62. Switched to FF for a while when it was new and exciting, but got tired of needing extensions to do everything and switched back to Opera. When Opera self-destructed at v. 12, I found Slimjet, which is excellent. But SJ's admins aren't very engaged with the user base, and it was hard to get answers to problems. When under Linux it wouldn't play a lot of videos because of codec rights, I began to look elsewhere.
Vivaldi, headed by the guy who started the original Opera, is excellent, and getting better. Their forum is very busy and you will get an answer. Pace of development is solid. They also will have an onboard email prog as Opera once did. The two things I miss that SJ has are onboard youtube downloading and clipboard image uploading. I still use SJ as my second browser. FF is off the machine. When I need a non-Blink browser for testing I use lightweight Epiphany.
Here's a good article on a few of the useful features of Vivaldi: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-the-bes...urnalists/
