I have decided against Aura because it splits the commands for AUR from the standard repos. With paru I can upgrade both by running just paru. In the end, that’s all I mostly do with an aur helper.

It also means that the rendering will potentially be different on each platform given they all use different native webviews (and there’s no “native” webview on Linux but WebKit-gtk is the most widely used one)

From what I can gather, they don’t intend on adding multi device capabilities for technical reasons. A big requirement for me is to be able to use both mobile and desktop without losing the history.

Well, Opera is also based on Chromium.

They plan a release for 2028. It’s going to be a while before it can be used for everyday browsing.

Jump ship to what? Not like there’s s lot of choices out there. You could always try LibreWolf.
