During the short time I checked Opera One on borrowed Win 10 PC I understood that the new 'reborned' version is not for me at all.
Without taking into account multiple visual bugs and caught crash during this short period, the interface is totally spoiled after it was more or less fine (excepting menus) and tuned after corrections in 'Reborn3'.
The continuous borders around modules, especially when sidebar and bookmarks bar are enabled, look just ugly to me. Along with the border around opened web page (I'm not a sailor or aircraft pilot to like the 'porthole' windows). So maybe most of users will like the 'bubble' design, but I won't.

Will this new browser, when it enters a stable phase, replace the existing browser? or will it be something else, on the side?

@adam1709 that got me as well. It's a rebranding of sorts. It's the same browser with a new name. It's kinda weird because even the bigger, fundamental change from Presto engine to Chromium back in Opera 12 or 13 didn't grant a rebranding like this...
Still, I think this time, if modularity for them means the same as it means for me, this change will actually open the opportunity for more features to come instead of less features like what happened back then.
To be honest though, Opera back then was like a bazooka for killing ants for most people... The possibility of stripping it of features and letting people install extensions made for other browsers was indeed a good idea, looking back to it...

@andrew84 I agree. There should be a
Compact
checkbox in the theming choice menu:- Off
- Basically current Opera One UI
- Default option
- On
- Less wasted space
- No rounded borders (like just a pixel or two wide line, sort of what it's in the current stable channel Opera)
- Thinner tab bar
- Thinner sidebar
- Etc.
- Off

The context menu in the address bar of the browser is overlaid with tooltips.
The mouse cursor disappears in the browser if you switch between multiple windows (at least, when Opera is running Youtube) -
