Have a look at Otter browser It aims to replicate the old interface. It is using QtWebEngine as Presto was closed source. It is in development since 10 years now. And it is open source.
Qt WebEngine uses code from the Chromium project. However, it is not containing all of Chrome/Chromium:
Binary files are stripped out
Auxiliary services that talk to Google platforms are stripped out,
Source
While that’s one of the reasons I don’t want to use chromium, it’s not actually the main reason, if so I’d just use Ungoogled Chromium. I just want more web engines, and I dont want google to monopolise the internet.
That’s essentially Vivaldi now.
Apart from it being chromium based 😕

QtWebEngine is Chromium :(
It’s Chromium all the way down.
