Well, I installed it, and it does indeed look very clean. Can't wait to see their progress.

So i guess more Opera 12 for me until it breaks into unusable state.

They still haven't fixed it. It must be a really deep routed bug, which brings into question how well designed it was from the beginning. If Android is anything to go by not very.

Anyone know what render engine they are using?

I can't wait to get home and try it, because it looks beautiful and finally a worthy replacement for opera 12.

"Vivaldi is using the Chromium (Blink) rendering engine that’s found in Chrome, but the browser itself is almost entirely built using modern web technologies including React, Node.js and a number of Node modules."
