Really loving Vivaldi! Brings me back to the glory days of Opera. Seems to be hitting that feel really well and improving with each release.
Who and what company is behind Vivaldi? Do people have any concern on security and privacy by using it?
I use it purely for tab stacking and side by side view. It's really nice for situations where you have to deal with SaSS code editors.
I cannot praise Vivaldi enough. Using as a daily driver on both desktop and mobile for a couple of months, and not looking back to my previous uses of Brave/FF/Chrome. There are just so many power features built in and being added all the time. This new release completely seals the deal on Android for me, w/ the ad blocker.
Looks nice. I've used Vivaldi in the past, but if I'm to pick a new browser, it needs to not use Chromium. I'm not too picky about my browser; I just need my password manager and good devtools.
Can most Chromium-based browser functionality be essentially built with enough chrome store plugins?
It's very nice they have adblocker and full released the mobile browser!
Would use an OpenBSD-current binary but I suspect that would be hard to implement as it would have to be built on and scheduled around the Chromium port.
I appreciate they replicated the old Opera Mobile UI as well.
Replacing the old adblocker extensions with the built-in adblocker(warning: anecdotal evidence ahead) made things a lot snappier.
Snappier in what way? opening new tab takes 1 second, closing one the same. UI in javascript is killing responsiveness.
It would be nice to edit the ad block filter lists. But it is good you have ad blocking now. Makes this actually possible to use.
List can be edited, you can add your ad/tracker lists, remove the built-in ones. But you can't choose page elements yourself. Anyway it's really good!
After the mobile release i might replace it with chrome completely. Just tab stacking feature alone is amazing.
I like this browser and use it on and off. But hope you guys take a lesson from Brave. Integrated payments SHOULD have been a part of every browser from day one. Now it can be and there's no reason it should be built in at this point.
