There might not be any sugar either.

I've been shamefully bad and am still using Ubuntu MATE 16.04 (soon
to be replaced by Kubuntu 18.04 since at least one of the changes to
Ubuntu MATE 18.04 is an absolute show-stopper for me).

I'll take a look at Midori. It looks like it's part of the Xfce
desktop.

I've never used Opera. I had tried it for a few moments once and
didn't like the interface at all. Vivaldi is based on it, though, so I
guess I occasionally use it in a round-about way when I fire up
Vivaldi.

What's different between them?
