      Opera originally wasn’t free.

      Also, while it is chromium based, Vivaldi is excellent and is essentially a bunch of old Opera team members.

        Chrome is free software. Yes it has tiny bits that are proprietary but it’s practically no different, Firefox just downloads widevine at runtime.
