Chrome is a little quicker and prettier. That's it, really. I've actually been using Vivaldi lately.

Vivaldi looks interesting, but I don't really trust anyone who has had any involvement in Opera...

Opera could be good at times, but they consistently made poor decisions. One example, putting ads inside the browser itself.

As for quickness, after using uBlock (with default deny) on both, and NoScript on Firefox, they tend to be equal. I know Chrome has script blocking plugins, but they are never as good as NoScript.

Thanks for mentioning Vivaldi—this is the first I've seen of it, and it looks quite nice so far.

It is. Some of the features haven't been implemented yet, but it looks promising.
