Yes, And according to some info I looked up, the last major Norwegian stakeholder sold off in 2016, much later than I thought. I had lost interest in the browser many years before because it seemed to me to be getting buggier and less original as time went on. "Chrome but worse" instead of its own thing.
I was a huge Opera fan from 2000 - 2010, and it was a bitter breakup for me.
I like it quite a lot as well, but some releases fall apart on me from time to time and I have to shelve it until they patch their problems back out. A few cycles of that and I went to Marmaduke Chromium (community version with all google integrations patched out). But I still keep an install of Vivaldi around to play with.
The Opera devs were bought out and went on to make Vivaldi. Opera has been scuffed for around 8 years.
Wasn't it made by Norwegians originally? Guess that was a looong time ago.

Holy shit no wonder I like Vivaldi so much.
Use ublock origin instead of the built-in adblocker, it's way better. Downside of Vivaldi is, they are not as dedicated to privacy as Brave is.
Everywhere I go is demonetized so I never get ads.
I will consider it, though.

IDK. I've never had an issue with it. I'm probably not pushing it to it's limits though.
Gotcha.
