I haven’t used Opera since they switched from their own engine to chrome. They are now owned by a Chinese company, so it probably has at least as much tracking built into it as Google Chrome now.
Have a look at Otter browser It aims to replicate the old interface. It is using QtWebEngine as Presto was closed source. It is in development since 10 years now. And it is open source.
I used Fifth a bit, which is something aesthetically similar to old Opera made with fltk and a webkit port to fltk. But it’s abandoned now.
It’s so sad really, when I was a Windows user, it was Opera, when I moved to Linux, it was again Opera, then I also started using Conkeror (based on XULRunner).
Then Opera died. Then XULRunner died. No usable web browser anymore.

I miss old opera before the buyout
That’s essentially Vivaldi now.
Apart from it being chromium based 😕

Thanks, didn’t know about this
Vivaldi is made by many of the same people with similar features and vibe. It’s also chromium-based, though.

Don’t you like Firefox? It’s on both win and Linux.
I said “usable” ; it was usable when XULRunner was a thing (and you could use Firefox instead of just XULRunner).
