I can understand your dissatisfaction with their choice of closed on top of open, but I’d encourage you to give it a whirl. I switched early last year because I was growing wary of Google and wanted to see if Opera was faster. Sure enough, it’s impressively fast and has all the built in things that I want. I’m quite impressed with their latest improvements and really enjoy using it. I’d be hard pressed to switch to anything else right now.

I use it on mobile. It's quite nice, has an okayish ad blocker and a nice text wrap zoom feature that I enjoy and no other mobile browser has. It's fast enough but Brave is faster. Also used it on the Windows desktop before FF quantum.
I've tried it recently. I lasted < 10 minutes. The spinner in the tabs while things load are very distracting. cnn.com causes it to start spinning every 8 seconds for about 3 seconds.
