Which version of Opera to use....

Hi,

I am editing various js topics and comparing support in various browsers.

caniuse.com lists the follow browser vendors.
      IE Firefox Chrome Safari Opera iOS Safari Opera Mini Android Browser Blackberry Browser IE Mobile 



However Opera has a Presto and a Webkit versions.

It appears to me that Opera Next should be used for browser comparison, on the assumption that the Presto engine is being phased out.

the latest Presto engine release also recognizes webkit prefixed CSSDOM properties and webkit methods, but comparison between the two versions of ‘Opera’ are worlds apart.
