My husband has a lot of nostalgia for opera (long story, don't ask) but some of the dubious connections there made them a non-option for us as we got more into internet privacy. He was super happy when I switched him over to Vivaldi.

opera died for me when it abandoned it's own engine

I was an Opera user for a decade. I think their designers left to start Vivaldi.

That's correct. They wanted to build Opera the way it could have been if different choices were made. I think they built something really good.

I never heard that connection but I do know it was sort of intended as a spiritual successor to opera, so if true, that would make a LOT of sense

Vivaldi is great, I switched from Opera as soon as the beta was released. Been in Vivaldi for years and years now.
