Vivaldi Browser Keeps Getting Better The More You Use It

I have used the basic features and usually don't change away from Default settings, which are well designed in such a way you really don't need to change things. However the tech geeks love this browser to push it to its limits, and there is a great group of them who provide feedback all the time on the Forum. I sync the desktop and Andtroid browsers, and it has worked tremendous with my workflow. In comparison Brave Browser might be the closest competitor to Vivaldi, and many people say they love Vivaldi more once they use it for a while, and I agree.

Pros

It seems very fast and just works. I have used it as part of my daily workflow online, and usually don't use other browser. I like the sid bar to hold all my social media account, plus it has built in RSS reader and Email Client, Calendar, and Contact list, etc. There are so many features and ways to use it, as they keep tweaking it every day. In fact they have a daily tips blog to tell you about all of them.

Cons

I have used Vivaldi Blog for several years and enjoyed it, however, recently they have overtones of going Woke and thus have pulled away. They generally have been very welcoming to everyone, though the tone on the user forum has changed recently, for one. Although this has no effect on performance, I have my blog there and use their webmail, so don't want add more to what I have if I down the road will have to go elsewhere. I strive to patronize businesses who serve the customer and leave their personal politics to themself.

Review - Vivaldi

I use it since 5 years and I think it is the best navigator that I find and you can synchronized smartphone and your computer.

Pros

Clearly, it is the bew web navigator that i found. You have a lot of personalization that I search. You've also a lot of privacy with this software. And my preferred function is the tab management.

Cons

On my personal computer, I've encounter some issues in the well-functionment of the software.

Customization Freaks Dream Come True

Honestly, for the most of it, it was a pleasant experience for me.

Pros

My favourite feature of this Browser is the fact that can you just make it your very own, the looks are really unique.

Cons

That it uses way too much resources for my liking, compared to other products this one ain't the most efficient regarding this.

Absolutely a Must in Browsers!

I used this, as I said, against crashes. Then I found in my deep dives into it that it was loaded with greatness and I use it every day. I also use Chrome but Vivaldi saves me time, angst, and that makes me happy!

Pros

Chrome and Edge both always crash. Well, all browsers do in some fashion but those two, Chrome especially, do each day. Does Vivaldi? Yes, but rarely and for less time. That is teh reason I wanted to use it in the first place, less crashing and having to shut off my PC and start over. That never happens with Vivaldi and all of its features and service -- customer service as well. -- are terrific!

Cons

It is a bit slow to load, it does not just pop up when you clich the icon, but it is okay because after that it is the best!

Great browser for all kinds of browsing needs

I have tried a lot of browsers and I can safely say Vivaldi is the best among them. It is lightweight, easy to navigate, and has a clean interface. It comes with a built-in password manager which gives a fast and secure login experience as well. It comes with an excellent tracker and ad blocker which takes my browsing experience a notch higher. Vivaldi used less RAM and thus works fast on my old laptop as well which is truly a blessing in disguise for me. I highly recommend this browser for a great and safe browsing experience.

Pros

Vivaldi Browser is a powerful browser that caters to all sorts of browsing needs. It is a fast, simple, and lightweight browser as compared to its competitors. It lets a user manage tabs and extensions seamlessly right from the settings. Vivaldi Browser comes with a very polished interface and is very simple to use as well. It is easy to create user profiles on Vivaldi Browser and sync the data across various devices.

Cons

It was quite easy to figure out how to use Vivaldi Browser works and I have been using it extensively for daily browsing needs for quite some time now. I haven't faced any major problems while using Vivaldi Browser till now, I am satisfied with it.

Still the best browser from the best browser people

Pros

Polished and highly-customizable web browser with much less of a need for the resource intensive and security-flaw prone extensions made almost absolutely necessary by other browsers, such as Chrome, while still being compatible with virtually all Chrome extensions.

Cons

No mobile version to sync with, although it's in the works.

Powerful, feature reach browsing experiance

I use it every day. Often for finding new leads for our magazine, and for publishing articles online. It is entry gate for our X2 and Vtiger CMS databases. It is safe and well constructed browser.

Pros

There are no browser like Vivaldi browser. It is powerful browsing platform in your computer, even with email integration, of course there are public networks integrations too... and awesom history, bookmark and image/download file management.

Cons

In some situations, Vivaldi has drop of performance. It is not the fastest browser. Brave browser has better anti-add policy, and Tor is better in "masking" your online activities.

Alternatives Considered

Firefox, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Tor Browser and Opera

Reasons for Switching to Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi is the only browser with email integration. Vivaldi is the feature richest browser on market. Vivaldi has update very often and has lively community. For everyday business and private use, Vivladi is the best option.

Great Browser

Vivaldi is a great browser, depending on your browsing needs, you will find a powerful tool to surf the web and customize it your way. The design of the user interface is elegant, the page loading speeds is good, and managing several pages at the same time will be always easier with a good tab management as the offered.

Pros

Excellent Tab management experience.
Useful right sidebar with tools
Very customizable

Cons

Incompatibility with some websites
No free VPN
Incompatibility with many useful plugins.

Alternatives Considered

Opera and Google Chrome

Reasons for Choosing Vivaldi Browser

Google Chrome does offer an interface that plain that looks kind of visually boring. It does consume too many resources from the computer, and eventually looks too invasive with all the Google Ecosystem surrounding the browser experience. Then I find myself more comfortable at using Vivaldi.

Switched From

Google Chrome

Reasons for Switching to Vivaldi Browser

As said previously, it does offer a better browsing experience, a nicer user interface, and best in class tabs management. Additionally, it runs better than Chrome and does not have any impediment to run without logging into a Google Account.

Top browser for privacy

My main goal was privacy when I installed Vivaldi. It does not disappoint.

Pros

I love that it offers privacy above all things. It's nice to browse knowing I'm not tracked by websites.

Cons

No cons I can think of at the moment, it's a good browser.

Vivaldi, the browser for privacy-conscious users

Vivaldi has filled all the needs I have when using a browser, the experience of this and others is quickly identified, you notice the improvement in privacy and the dual-screen option is something that should be natively in any browser, I have felt very comfortable with this browser, it is certainly a great and complete alternative.

Pros

Vivaldi is the browser that you need to use if your priority is privacy, this browser has multiple features focused on this, without forgetting other aspects that seek to make it easier to customize the user experience, no doubt this is a very powerful browser.

Cons

Vivaldi becomes very confusing, it is an advanced browser, which sacrifices aspects that we can find in any other browser in order to have more and better privacy, if you want a simple experience, maybe you should think twice about using this browser.

Rich features built in the browser that works out of the box

I am now using Vivaldi as the main browser for the part of my work that involves a lot of research and comparison of different sources. It helps me separate this part of my browsing, thus limiting the number of ads and trackers I get for related products which I really appreciate. At the same time, I manage my notes, screenshots etc more effectively now, having everything related to this aspect of my work in one place.

Pros

Apart from privacy concerns, which was the main reason I installed there is a very good balance between the number of features and their ease of use - most of which are in the sidebar that is really helpful. Apart from those in the sidebar (such as for example notes, which is really useful if you search a lot for content and compare different pages, and want to have the notes readily accessible), there are a couple of features in the bottom right corner such as screenshots, zoom, page tiling etc that you really quickly grow very fond of and wonder how you worked without them. And finally, my favourite button is "take a break" that fades the content and media, allowing easy focus elsewhere.

Cons

If you don't like the sidebar, it may feel at the beginning that there are too many features - for me it was only for a very short period though, and I soon grew accustomed to having the sidebar open at all times.

Pretty solid browser with amazing features

Overall, Vivaldi is an amazing browser I would recommend to anyone who wants a different and personalized web experience.
It is also an awesome browser for gaming-related content, regarding its integration with Razer Chroma.
Although it requires some days of habituation, there are lots of features to explore and the overall experience is great!

Pros

One thing I like the most about Vivaldi is its integrations with other softwares and hardwares.
For instance, I use Vivaldi as a gaming browser since it can sync with my Razer Chroma (RGB) compatible devices and the experience is amazing and engaging.
Other thing I also like about this browser is that it has loads of features I can't find in another browsers.

Cons

If I had to point a characteristic I like the least about Vivaldi is that it requires a little bit of time to get into this browser, since it isn't as intuitive as the other most used and well-known browsers.
As it has lots of features, sometimes I can get lost on them, but I rapidly get back on track.
Despite of that, after some days of use, it gets very intuitive and easy to use.

Featured Browser

I did have a good experience with Vivaldi, but I found it not to be fully compatible with some websites I need to work with. Additionally, I did miss several features included with the Opera browser which are very simple and yet very powerful.

Pros

Endless ways to customize the user interface
Strong multi-tabs manager

Cons

Does not have a VPN for free like Opera
Does not have Units Converter already integrated
Does not have video pop-up

Alternatives Considered

Opera and Google Chrome

Reasons for Choosing Vivaldi Browser

It was a roundtrip, I continue to use Opera, and even though I like Vivaldi, I find Opera features to be more convenient than the endless customizations offered by Vivaldi Browser.

Reasons for Switching to Vivaldi Browser

I did choose Vivaldi because it was created by one of Opera's founders, so I thought I might find many of my favorites Opera features in this powerful browser, but It was not that way, so I went back to Opera Browser.

A browser that truly increases productivity.

Pros

I like this browser more than many I have used because it makes me do everything quickly.
Its speed dial is packed with important sites, which are placed in a beautiful and orderly design, with large and colorful thumbnails. The speed dials can be customized and arranged manually or automatically, according to preferences. It is an app that is designed to help any person work faster and keep track of browsing and work activities.
Backward and forward navigation is easy because the arrows are placed within an easy rich at the bottom of the browser. It is more convenient to have the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Cons

Settings are hidden behind the Vivaldi Icon to the right of the search bar. This makes it hard to locate the settings. It would be better to have a real settings icon and to put it on the bottom, for easy identification and proximity to the fingers.

Vivaldi internet browsers

From the great workflows I have, I needed to install more browsers and I started using the Vivaldi browser more to have a second option, when I need it, it plays a lot of video on the notebook. One thing that kept me using Vivaldi was when I discovered that Vivaldi made it possible for us to use Notepad while we were browsing the site.

Pros

The ways of customizing Vivaldi are the best advantage for me, as I like having a browser with my face, when using Vivaldi it allows me to change the theme to a color of my style. I can configure two or more tabs open at the same time by just clicking on the button on the bottom bar of the site.

Cons

The only downside was when I tried to use four open browsers at the same time. Vivaldi was blocking the screen of the platform I had placed to watch the videos, not being able to play the videos at the same speed as other browsers.

It's a wow out of the box

Pros

It's super cool to see such a nice browser to be available on all the operating systems! It truly knocks your socks off. The left-hand sidebar makes a massive difference to your browsing experience. This has been available for always while others have embraced it just recently.
I love how the team managed to implement the Quick Commands feature to allow you easily find what you're looking for without digging much into the settings and tabs and everything else!
It has a great overview of how many trackers and ads are actually following you which simply means Vivaldi cares about your security.
You can customise the UI to the extreme, something you can't get anywhere else, so well done Vivaldi team!
Do you need your tabs on split-screen? No problem!
Do you need a built-in mail client? You have it!
Do you need a notes manager, custom macros and mouse gestures? All are available in Vivaldi!
And all of these come for free!

Cons

Nothing! Absolutely nothing! You'd love it straight away!

Great browser as an alternative to Firefox or Chrome

I have a great time with Vivaldi but rather use Firefox because of the huge support with plugins.

Pros

Vivaldi has an more open approch compared to Chrome - so it is perfect if you want Chromium as the engine of your browser, but don't want to depend on Google.

Cons

I have trouble with getting the same performance as Chrome by Google.

A browser that helps you manage the clutter of multiple tabs

Pros

My fav feature in Vivaldi is tab stacking. It helps me to keep my important tabs in one tab. Also, it always loads these open tabs whenever I open Vivaldi. Moreover, the color-changing themes are also awesome. I can easily tell which website I am visiting just by looking at the color.

Cons

Though Vivaldi came up with mail and everything I think it still misses a key feature of using a VPN. It will be nice if we could browse individual tabs in a VPN.

Viva Vivaldi!

It's sleek and fundamental making routine browser tasks a quick process. It is also without many pop-ups, irrelevant notifications etc. And all the tabs needed are convenient to the user, so all good.

Pros

Plenty of speed dial tiles with bookmarks and history prominent according to your configuration choice. It also has notes, has a quick reponse time and has a Bing search engine, which I feel is the best to have.

Cons

It has a quirky personality that is difficult to describe. While everything is organized smartly, the geography is distinct from other browsers so some poking around for the proper tab may be in order.

My review for Vivaldi

Pros

They are very good at interface. It's nice that they also offer many features and tools while searching. I think they are also successful in secrecy.

Cons

It hasn't been long since I've used the software. That's why I haven't encountered any bad aspects. It's just that sometimes they're good at speed, and sometimes they're very slow.
