Also, Chromium will not allow you to open a file using another application directly, you have to save the file first, then locate it and open it manually which is really inconvenient (other users have asked for this feature repeatedly but to no avail).
And, as with all browsers except opera, closing the last tab closes chromium as well, which I also find confusing (this can be fixed via an extension but it's hit or miss).
To make a long story short, opera had features that other browsers can only have via extensions and add-on.
the speed dial page
Not to mention it looked nicer as well.

The Opera devs knew this would happen--that's why they created the new Chromium based Opera.

it would be *REALLY* cool if it could render the page into an opengl surface, just like the mobile browsers out there (opera mobile for desktop did it) or steam browser in big picture mode

Cyber Killer, thanks. ;-)
I have "at least one commit per day" policy, it applies to all of my github projects but since I have to finally fully switch from Opera 12 then I can assure that rapid development will be continued.
There is lots of work to achieve level of feature parity that will satisfy myself. ;-)

They are not major bugs, but they are annoying. For example, there are youtube videos which chromium refuses to play (I get the "An error has occured" message) unless I open another video (successfully) and then reload the original video. Also, Chromium will not allow you to open a file using another application directly, you have to save the file first, then locate it and open it manually which is really inconvenient (other users have asked for this feature repeatedly but to no avail). And, as with all browsers except opera, closing the last tab closes chromium as well, which I also find confusing (this can be fixed via an extension but it's hit or miss).
To make a long story short, opera had features that other browsers can only have via extensions and add-on. Examples include mouse gestures, the speed dial page, the direct opening of files with another application and others. Not to mention it looked nicer as well. I had the same theme for 2 or three years or so and I still miss it.

I really hope this project succeeds. After ditching Opera 12 cause it's just too incompatible and crashy, I can't find any browser that would satisfy me. I currently use Chromium but it's a pain, Firefox is unusable, Konqueror and rekonq have their own problems, Qupzilla was promising, but it can't handle my bookmarks properly, the list goes on. I wished for Opera to switch engines to webkit, but what they did is an abomination. Ever since I can't browse the net comfortably :-/.
@Emdek - grab the flattr for your project https://flattr.com/thing/2438041

It sure does look interesting. So it is up to a time to show how it will continue to develop. In meantime, we have QupZilla as fine and mature Qt5 web browser.

This is really good news. I only switched from Opera 12.16 to Chromium 2 weeks ago, simply because the easy of use and UI of Opera is still formidable. Of course, its age was starting to show in various ways (compatibility, speed, etc), but I had all sorts of issues and bug problems with chromium that I never had with Opera. I look forwarding to trying out Otter, I hope it will be a successful endeavor.
