Anyone here uses Vivaldi browser?

Pretty nice and refurbished browser built on Chromium.

Been using that for almost 3 months and the performance has been pretty impressive.

@shibaprasad Vivaldi is a Good Browser. The team developing it used to be from the Opera project, if I am not mistaken.

Opera was a leading edge, innovative and cool browser for a long time. The one the techies and the cool kids used. 😜

Nowadays, Opera is still around, has switched to using the underlying framework of Chromium project (as others, including Microsoft, have done), runs really well, has a free built in VPN option.

But... is under control of a Chinese entity, and some people do have concerns about possible espionage might happen. Chinese state has a ton of power, and can force companies into cooperating for state security reasons anytime they want.

Vivaldi also has a good free email service (which is NOT Google property), and a free blog option I have just started experimenting with.

The blog is built as a full WordPress site, so it's full featured and takes some learning, just starting on the process myself.

Don't have Vivaldi installed, as I am happy with Waterfox. Do have Opera and use it on ocassion, even the VPN, until now, when I discovered a much nicer and free VPN service.

@design_RG Yeah! They have an Email service too! Which seemed a bit unique to me. No other Browser does that I think.

What about the Blog? I don't know about that.

@shibaprasad Vivaldi, and Epiphany are all I’ve used for a while.

Thing about Vivaldi:
- theme-color support is cool.
- Don’t try and Ctrl-F Find while you have dev tools open, eventually at some point in the future your machine will freeze.
- it’s not well supported in Linux, but the profile switcher is super cool. You can set up a profile for connecting to multiple Accounts of the same service.

Things about epiphany:
- beautiful gnome ui.
- Don’t try to open dev tools

@shibaprasad I lied about profiles not being well supported in Linux. I just installed 2.9 in a fresh pop!os and it’s completely complete. It’ works like a charm. This is very handy when you have multiple github/bitbucket/azure/aws accounts and need to flick between them. Life is good.

@binsrc
Vivaldi really working pretty smooth for me too.

And you didn't lie! You just gave a false info unknowingly.
