I know Opera is Chromium based but according to statcounter Opera accounts for nearly the same % (actually slightly higher) overall desktop browser market share (Opera 4.48% : Firefox 5.96%)
Yet support for Opera but not Firefox 🗿
Disclaimer: I’m a Firefox user.
Support for Opera wasn’t a completely separate effort, it just happens to work because, like you said, it’s Chromium based. If it wasn’t, it wouldn’t be supported either…
