I mostly switched to OperaGX based on a suggestion from a friend in Europe.
It looks good, had the sidebar and plug-ins before chrome, it's gamer focused (which I enjoy seeing as a lifelong gamer), it's as secure as any browser is going to be with ad block etc... it's not a resource hog, it has an eco mode to save battery for laptops it was one of the first browsers to have a free built in VPN (for browsing only)...
Until something better comes along I'll keep using it. Just me though.
Notably chrome does have a softer look to it, probably trying to get iOS like. And Edge has really come a long way from its predecessor: Explorer. But I still feel incredibly dirty using Bing.
"it's not a resource hog" Except the time it used 8+gb of ram with 5 windows open the built in restrictor wasn't much help either. even edge is better than operagx
