I wonder about the differences to Opera then.&lt;p&gt;Edit: Found also this on the homepage (somewhat hidden under the &amp;quot;Web technology&amp;quot; tab):&lt;p&gt;We use JavaScript and React to create the user interface — with the help of Node.js, Browserify and a long list of NPM modules. Vivaldi is the web built with the web.&lt;p&gt;So it&amp;#x27;s like &lt;a href=&quot;http://breach.cc/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;breach.cc&amp;#x2F;&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8952152&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;https:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.ycombinator.com&amp;#x2F;item?id=8952152&lt;/a&gt;) then?</text></item></parent_chain><comment><author>matmann2001</author><text>Basically, it looks like it&amp;#x27;s going to be Opera on the Chrome engine, but with the return all the cool unique features Opera ditched when they switched engines a little while back. And hopefully managed by a group that has the spirit from Opera&amp;#x27;s good old days.</text></comment>
