Why is it assumed that Opera will be exactly the same as Chrome?

Is it not possible for Opera to keep their own implementation of LocalStorage (and other things)?

Am I wrong in assuming RenderEnginge != Browser?

Opera has stated publicly that they will be using all of Chromium (which would include LocalStorage, V8, etc), not just WebKit per se.

Thanks! Must have missed that...
