The developers who wanted to keep the original philosophy of Opera alive moved on and formed Vivaldi instead. I recommend you try it. It certainly gave me a nostalgic sense of what Opera used to be, and has a lot of useful new features.
I used Opera between 9 and 12, bookmarks were very convenient, it had a builtin torrent client, and so on. Compact and ergonomic UI, stylesheets and caching modes. And not too nauseating in appearance.
Ummm, the features you described are all in Vivaldi. Browser engine is Blink (Chromium). My experience with it has been that it’s very fast and stable.
I’ve used Opera since about version 6. My nostalgia is real.
Still doing Vivaldi on a daily basic. But I think I’m a very specific use case: an old user who hates to change his ways, and is obsessed with keeping the page tabs on the bottom of the screen.

Vivaldi is excellent. This is my preferred chromium browser when something doesn’t work on my primary gecko browsers.
Still Chrome and slow.
For me it doesn’t evoke any nostalgic feelings.

Ignore people like this. Just bad mouthing a browser to be cool.
Vivaldi is ahead of any other browser in features, control, customization and security. Even AdBlock extensions still work.
Yes, it is Chromium based, so what? I loved Opera before it was sold for parts to a Chinese hedge fund and Firefox is too glitchy for my taste.

Ain’t we all? this is why I use MATE btw
Being old and stubborn matters. ;)
Norwegians with a clear musical preference.
My preferences often stray onto darker paths, but why not both? https://youtu.be/VhoHnKuf-HI
