Ah, didn't know how old that doc was. Opera only switched to Chrome in 2013 or so.

But yeah, I agree. That's why I support Ladybird's and Servo's development. They are the best bet to help stop the duopoly. If only Opera would BSD-license and open source their Presto Engine I would love to see someone pick up development of that. Instead we get Opera putting jumpscares in their browser .

I've not even heard of those two, I've stuck with Firefox for so long. I'll check them out, thanks!

They're both pretty new so dont expect a ton of stuff but they are both under heavy development and have funding. Enjoy!
