It's fast in benchmarks… but it's either single-threaded or has horrible locking. One slow script somewhere will not just block the tab, but the entire browser. Good luck hunting it down with 40+ open tabs. (I really miss Opera 12, it's still the only browser to decouple the UI to its own thread so a long-running script doesn't lock up the page. Or the whole browser…)

As an Opera 12 fan, have you tried https://vivaldi.net ? You're the target audience.

Yet another Chromium reskin, with semi-mandatory "social" features? No, I don't think I'm the target audience.

Chrome and Chromium are not Blink. Blink is the rendering engine alone. Opera uses Blink.
