What do you mean "on top of web techs"? Aren't all browsers web techs...??


The Opera UI was built using Qt widgets. So native, C++ code. The Vivaldi UI is built using React, I think.

Native UIs are much faster than web UIs, for example.


doesn't this also apply to Firefox?


'modern' browsers use/incorporate a lot of the tech that is used to build web-sites(-apps). i.e. convergence of content and presentation
