After Opera killed its own engine, the last one to compete with Gecko and KHTML/Chromium, and then everyone moving to Chrome-based design, we truly need more competition and less monopolisation in this field. Especially when it comes from Google(that essentially runs Mozilla anyway).
Opera moved away from presto in 2013 which is 2 years before Microsoft introduced their EdgeHTML engine and 7 years before the final EdgeHTML based version of the Edge browser.
