It's a very promising project, we do need solid, independent browsers like Otter in this crazy age of spying and bloatware. But the development seems really slow and at times people wonder if it's even alive at all.
Comments and Reviews
I've been using Otter Browser for about a year and half now. Being a Opera user for about 18 years. I'm still hanging on to the last Presto engine with Opera 12.18. Just wish they hadn't gone and gotten all stupid, deciding to be Chrome's little brother. Call it what you want,,, it's Google! Most people don't know it, but the features that browser's have today, came from Opera. Multiple tabs, private browsing, saved sessions, popup/content blocker, mouse gestures and a great built-in e-mail client. There is more, just to many to list. Otter is the best browser holding on to the features and traditions that made Opera 12.18 great. Otter lets you customize it's look and feel any way you want. It's light and fast and has become very stable. In the past it was pretty buggie, but no longer is that the case. Most of the work on it has been under the hood. For that reason, Otter isn't the best looking girl at the dance. Going so far as to say, it has a face made more for radio. It's a work in progress that's coming along very nicely. After a coat of paint and hanging some curtains Otter will be everything Opera lost.

Cute and fast with some interesting privacy tactics including User Agent masks. Allows personal add-on user scripts. However, without standard extensions/add-ons, it's not something most would want to jump into. Tab/bookmark bar is tiny.. not sure how to fix,and it doesn't allow theming. Not sure about security updates. "The browser currently runs on the QtWebEngine, which is a version of Blink, the web engine used by Chromium. "
I marked Opera as 'not an alternative', because it would spoil the fun of Otter's simplicity (or make you curse you have not used Opera earlier, depending on your needs).
It works very nice on my PC, it's very customizable. I don't like the way that almost every modern browser goes, so this is product for me.
