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.

Reason for choosing 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.

Reasons for switching to 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.

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.

Reasons for switching to Vivaldi Browser

We made a switch because Vivaldi was offering a lot of features and we wanted to try them once.

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.

Reason for choosing Vivaldi Browser

I don't want to be dependent on Google

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.

Reasons for switching to Vivaldi Browser

Privacy focused and made by the co-founder of Opera.

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!

Reasons for switching to Vivaldi Browser

AS I stated before, those two crash every day no matter what you do. Even using OneTab and such. I still use Chrome but just for some things. I have a hard time leaving and Google products at all, I am a huge fan. But Vivaldi does not really crash, so I use them a lot now daily, sometimes for really important functions.
