Didn't know that, is it closed source? I looked and didn't see the source.
Is it really just chromium? I used opera long ago and it had some good features.
It's a lot better than Chromium (whole interface is configurable with CSS, configurable hotkeys, progress bar for page loading, manual tab stacking, tab previews, sidebar, search bar, mouse gestures, etc.), but it's closed source, and they have no plans to release the source.

Pretty standard except maybe CSS configurable. And closed source in 2016 seems like a tough sell. But security thru obscurity could be argued in favor.

It has something similar to Unity HUD too (you press F2 and get a launcher for internal commands), and a few other things I can't remember. Security through obscurity is not really an argument, I think, since most of what would affect it would affect Chromium too.

Security through obscurity has ALWAYS been an argument against.
An unknown risk is an accepted risk.
And one risk is that they figured it out - and do not say. Further, for risk elimination - who is to say anyone is focusing on fixes security breaches/leaks/weaknesses. Just look at the mess we had with OpenSSL - even as open source. There is no place for passive security!

Obscurity does have it's place. A celebrity is more likely to have their Twitter page hacked than your average Joe. So what ol Whitney should have done to not get jacked by a group of scriptkiddies is to just use an alias.
Obscurity works if you're smart enough. It takes more resources to find what you're looking for, if its even there at all.
