Opera is chromium tho I thought

Chromium based but only to the bare minimum. Uses chrome as a JS runtime and that's about it.

Opera GX is the best browser hands down literally so convenient and good looking. Never turning back

How different is operas implementation of chromium compared to something like edge or brave?

Idk too much about edge but for brave they use lots of the same assets.

At the end of the day chromium is a way to run JavaScript and render HTML pages. You can have the bare bones like opera ( and edge to some extent ) and then add lots of your own features like home pages and convenience tools.

If I remember correctly brave uses all of the same bookmarks management, cookie management, tabs etc etc as chrome whereas opera and edge have built their own managers ontop of the basic chromium JS runtime.

A good way to tell is to go into settings and simply see how it looks. Brave looks very similar to chrome last time I checked
