There isn't a single "strongest" opening in chess, as the effectiveness of an opening depends on various factors.

If there was a "strongest opening", why would any serious chess-player use any other opening?

There are a few candidates that, from our present understanding of the game, are pretty interchangeable. For the vast vast majority of players, it really doesn’t matter anyway, as the difference between 0.3 for white or 0.1 is completely irrelevant 🤷♂️

Speaking as someone who as been playing the Royal game since I was 14 when I first walked into a chess local chess club, now aged 67 I can say .... THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS THE STRONGEST CHESS OPENING, THERE ARE HOWEVER WEAK CHESS OPENINGS?! These are openings that neglect good development harmony of one's pieces!! So stick to good solid openings such as 1.d4 or 1e4 and white as black against 1 e4 use either 1...e6 French or 1...c6 Caro kannada and v 1.d4 choose 1.. e6 followed ...d5 deveope sensibly and quickly clear your back rank ... study the old masters how they played and avoid the silly openings they won't help your games!!?
The Grob is the best hands down

While it is true that advanced players don't often play the Grob, the reason actually lies in the mind-numbing variations the opening brings. It could take a Grandmaster years to study and understand one variation of the Grob. For example, I am in the process of studying the 3.c4 Grob. I have only studied the 3...Bxg4 variation, yet I win almost every game that begins with the Grob.

I have found that players of the group on a whole usually only play blitz or quick play, at what I call the more pure level the classical over the board level it stands little chance against 1800- 2200+ at a local chess Congress a 1920 Elo played the grob against G.M Mark Hebden. I recall even though 5 years ago 1 g4, e5 2.h3, and Hebden with a big smile played ...h5!? Hebden a seasoned G.M who plays congresses week in week out won quite easily in 26 moves!! Point is Grob is OK in short time controls such as Blitz. Quick play but in slower classical time controls the grobs weaknesses are taken advantage of!!
The Grob has no weaknesses. Rather, it exposes them in such beauty and elegance that no other opening will ever come close.
The Grob is the highest form of chess beauty.
@JumpinStatue you are the best chess player I have ever met
Your judgement is better than most, if not all, players on chess.com
Ruy Lopez, most played at top level and for good reason.

Ruy Lopez is trash compared to the Grob
Absolutely no room for such devious and superficial tactics! The Grob stands unbothered, unfazed and undaunted from any trace of such behavior!
