There is an open-source Otter Browser that is intended to provide the functionality of Opera browser.

Otter browser is in pkgsrc and Freebsd ports, also Haikuports and various Linux package repositories.

Otter browser works better for me than other non-Mozilla open-source browsers that I have tried, never tried Chromium.

I would also like to try the newer version of Midori.
