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.

HI @opera-browser-user

Is there something specifying missing in current Opera's Chromium version that you mentioned it?

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.
