From its beginning, Opera used its proprietary Presto engine. However, in 2013 Opera switched to Google's new Blink engine.<ref>http://thenextweb.com/insider/2013/04/04/opera-confirms-it-will-follow-google-and-ditch-webkit-for-blink-as-part-of-its-commitment-to-chromium</ref><ref>http://www.operasoftware.com/press/releases/devices/2013-12-13</ref> Some accepted this change happily, others refused to update from version 12.16 (the last Presto engine edition), while others began using the new [[Vivaldi (web browser)|Vivaldi browser]], which was more recently created by the original designers of Opera.
