Mikee should try new things! :laugh: I've been using Vivaldi for over 4 years as a primary browser. It is based on Chromium and I've had no problems with page rendering, and it's successfully installed the extensions I've tried. Apparently extensions that use the original Chromium I/F may not work if it's something Vivaldi changed. Built-in ad, pop-up, and tracker blocking caught my initial attention. Bookmark management is superior to other browsers I've tried, and the syncing works flawlessly IME. Tab and session management are superior. I tried the email client, didn't care for it and haven't checked it in years, and haven't used the calendar.

Been using it for years, it's created by the people who developed Opera back when it was an independently maintained browser back before they got sold to a Chinese company and were all unceremoniously sacked while the new corporate overlord was busy slapping an red O icon onto Chromium. Vivaldi on contrast is Opera's spiritual successor and has a lot of the customization features that made old Opera unique.

Well, it’s not a new browser, but perhaps new to you. :) I loaded it several years ago (6+?). It didn’t use standard hot keys, and I saw no earth-shattering advantages, so unloaded it and never looked back. Good luck, though. I didn’t see anything wrong with it then; I saw it mentioned in a recent article, so I guess there’ll be some renewed interest in Vivaldi. :thumbsup:

Tried it, it felt good, but if you can't install extensions you're used to, then it's losing scores. Staying with Opera and Firefox.
Every Chrome extension I've wanted to add has worked... :confused:

I used brave for about 2 years, before getting some crash issues. on their built in featuers: Built in mail client - why, sounds like an Microsoft IE idea Chrome does not have custom search engine - what, am i missing something, chrome allows to add differnt search engines Tab Grouping - chrome shoving it down my throht on android, I hate it (more likly not used to it, and made as a default instead of option, and getting previous "open in new tab" is a hack) Macros - because chrome and firefox dont have add on system allowing some every far reaching modifications Does not track you behaviour - you know how Apple says roughly ""we do not allow 3rd party tracking"", yeah that says Apple tracks you, but they don't share the data. But them tracking allows at LEAST them to be able to improve the product based on actually measured metrics instead of what people say they do. This browser saying no tracking, is either purposefully misleading, ignorantly misleading, or they have zero logging (tracking) to be able to improve the product for the benefit of users or resolving issues which is not usefully Notes Manager - ok this is a must have now ;P

I'm using it now as I type and all the other time. This is my favourite.

Been using it for the last six months and it seems perfectly fine. I was able to install all the extensions I normally use and it's very configurable. Went to Vivaldi because Firefox was having some problems, it locked up computer when there was a streaming problem.

I've never used it, but I am all in favor of having options available to break free of the "top three". I personally use Pale Moon. It was originally a Mozilla fork, but now has its own rendering engine. Only a small number of sites using deficient browser detection don't work with it. ---------- Money makes the world go round ... but documentation moves the money.

I use Vivaldi a bit on Android, it's good. But my primary on Android is Opera. On desktop, I use Firefox almost exclusively.
Cheers, Vikram.
I use Opera on Windows and like it very much

been using this for 4 years. Solid and fast. had some really nice features that others copy-paste. Still some features others don't have yet.
