~~Opera was bought by a Chinese firm years ago. I'm not saying to use it or not based solely on that; it's just something to keep in mind. That being said, they do have some legitimately useful features, like being able to cap the amount of RAM used with a slider. But yeah, I remember the sale raising some eyebrows.~~

Correct but irrelevant. Vivaldi isnt part of opera at all. They have the old devs that left when opera sold. That’s it.

Vivaldi is separate from Opera, it's devs who left Opera after it was purchased

Thank you for the new knowledge; I thought this whole time that Opera was renamed Vivaldi after the sale. That explains my original comment.
