I’m giving this a try. It’s snappy but you still cannot drag & drop bookmarks or copy images, & I”ve forgotten how to get the heavy-handed ad blocking feature to work at all. I’m sticking w/ Firefox as my default browser.

I mean all you need to do to block content is right click on free space on your window and choose block content from the drop down menu, and click on the frame that you want to block!
It’s waaaaay faster than Firefox, just got to know how to optimize it!
Check out the prefs(tools>preferences,appearence) and modify them to your style

Opera is the best ever:
