Like Atom? So it is not unique. We can say this statement for a lot of software products being Chromium more special and from a third party.

Also like Firefox, XUL is XML + CSS + JS. And that's what, close to 20 years old now?

Is Atom a web browser? :)

I'm pretty sure that they mean Vivaldi is unique as a browser built entirely using modern web technologies.

PS: I'm not saying they're right, I haven't researched to find out if there are other HTML/JS based browsers (aka with browser chrome built in HTML/JS).

Unique?

What a joke.

It just loads other websites inside an iframe. That's how all similar web-based apps and web-OSs work. Eg there is also servo with its HTML based UI; there is WebOS with its browser, ChromeOS with its browser; FirefoxOS; etc - totally non unique beside it has a nice UI inspired by the old Opera 6-12 UI.
