Out of the major Chromium-based browsers, only Opera (Air) runs on Chromium, that's several versions behind. Even Opera competitor, that has many features (but has lower than Opera's market share), doesn't run Chromium that's several versions behind.

It's right that backporting can fix security issues. However, it could not always be the case, as failures are highly likely to happen. I believe, the best security strategy is to run Opera Air on the latest Chromium Stable version.
On the other hand, there is a risk of compatibility issues - some websites such as Canva won't load if browser runs Chromium several versions behind.

@Mlipka I feel like, dev resources are scattered across all different Opera browsers, that makes Opera One stuck on Chromium 135, just to name one.
It seems, Opera Co-CEO, Song Lin, daily drives Opera Air, that makes me even more hopeful that about great amount of dev resources go to Opera Air and it stays around updated for many years to come.
Just a note, I will be staying on Opera Air, even if there are other Opera browsers and including upcoming AI browser - I'm just interested in Opera Air, from the Opera browsers family.
