I don't use it, but from what I understand it's from the developers of Opera before it became a Chinese spyware browser. Back when it was good. It's great if you're looking for customization and options.

As a disclaimer, the reason I don't use it is because I need a Chromium browser for work and Vivaldi (a Chromium based browser) gave me an error that said I need to use Chrome or Edge.

Vivaldi is chromium based though? I use it at work with all the Google tools.

I know it is. That's exactly why I mentioned that happening. Sorry if that was unclear.

ETA: I just read my previous comment again. I meant to say Vivaldi, not Opera.

That makes more sense :)

I guess they use a weird way to detect browser? I wonder if changing user agent string would work? There’s a ”user agent brand masking“ setting in Vivaldi.

I'm all for user agent settings, but I don't want to mess with that for work stuff. So, I just use Chrome or Edge for that one site.

Fair enough

This. It's incredibly customizable, I'd daily drive it of it didn't mean contributing to the Chromium monopoly
