The most similar, not to say identical to floorp, is Midori. Other which try to recreate old Opera is Otter (Qt5, not Gecko), also nice, private, FOSS and blazing fast.

Midori seems pretty shady. I remember it as a super minimalistic browser, but now it seems like they are straight up taking someone elses work and just changing the name and sponsor links within. I tried it and it seems like 1:1 copy of floorp.

What I said, anyway try also Otter, even if it isn't a Gecko browser (AFAIK it also admits in last versions the import of Chrome extensions (Qt5 is a fork of Blink), also userscripts without the need of Tamper, Greay or Violentmonkey). It will be also the fastest browser you ever have tested.

I did try Otter in the past when I was looking for the Opera replacement, never really liked it. It seems like it's pretty dead...last update was 2 years ago. And speed was never really my priority for the browser anyways. I'm not really looking to replace my browser, I'm happy with Vivaldi, I just like to check what else is there. I was happy to see that there is a browser based on gecko that seems to be going in the similar direction as Vivaldi.

No, only some parts are not updated some years, but the last core update is from 10 hours ago, others from a month. It's a very small community and logical that the developement isn't so active as in the big ones. The last updates also includes the possibility to use extensions, before not prossible. But yes, it's always better to use browsers in active developement and community. Which isn't the case in indie and marginal browsers and forks, mostly 1-2 devs projects.
