I’m currently switching from Opera GX to Brave, but it seems that this browser lacks the option to open new tabs by using the middle mouse button that i’ve grown accustomed to over time while using GX. It’s an underestimated feature that severely speeds up browsing and many other things.  
I know that u can open a new tab by using ctrl+t, but its too slow for a user like me.  
Until then, I’m sticking to opera
