I mean, I get that it can be hard to find a good UI/UX, but I think I'd sill take a look at the Hindenburg Research report. I know they're a hedge fund that stands to gain from the firms they're short-selling loosing in value, which is questionable, but I'm unaware of them manipulating facts. I personally don't think it'd be comfortable trusting Opera/their owners, if they're willing to do stuff like this.

I tried to give Firefox and Mull a go again.

Mull hasn't changed.

Firefox Nightly now offers Tab strip (desktop-style tabbing) which is a mojor thing for me. It seems the scaling is now more or less OK when using "Desktop site" and manual font scaling. Drawbacks: The tabs squish when more tabs are added instead of sliding like in Opera. This is problematic with a large amount of tabs open. Also, there's still no option to permanently enable desktop sites. I have tried setting general.useragent.override, but that breaks the scaling again. It seems there have just been some improvements to "Desktop site" mode. The home tab also doesn't show up as a separate tab which is weird.

I wish they just kept the old mobile UI. There was even a separate tablet UI.

Have you tried Vivaldi? I know it's been mentioned already, but they're run by the original Opera Team, and while not FOSS, seem reasonably non-shady. I haven't been able to find good Opera Screenshots online so I'm not sure how it compares, but they do have a tab bar on top, and are quite customisable in general.

Here are some Screenshots from the app on my phone:

Yep, like 5 minutes ago. Seems mostly good.
Here's some screenshots from Opera:


Yes, ironically my keyboard background is AI generated Firefox logo.

Yeah, Opera does look good, but I don't think Vivaldi's all that different. Why the Firefoxy keyboard, though? Just aesthetic preference?
