I used Vivaldi for a couple of months. Plenty of goodness, and one major showstopper: it's slow. It's so very sluggish and slow. Something as trivial as tearing a tab off a window would take several seconds. Switching between tabs was laggy as well, once there were many. Every other browser felt blazingly fast after that. That's a pity since this type of issues usually indicates some deeper design problems that won't be easily fixable.
- emptyfile 10y agoYes opening a new window is at least 3x slower than Chrome and tearing off a tab is like... a 2 sec delay. But honestly I have no problems with "regular" browsing. The features are good enough to live with the slowdown, as others have said Vivaldi can never be as fast as Chrome.
- StavrosK 10y agoReally? I'm on Vivaldi right now and everything is instant. I'm using it over Firefox just because how much faster it is. It's as fast as Chrome for me.
- febed 10y agoYep, this is exactly my experience with Vivaldi. The feature set is really good, but I wish the performance was as good as Chrome.
- Mithaldu 10y agoVivaldi is a layer of Javascript on top of a cut-down chrome. You're right. It can't ever be faster than Chrome, nor really fast, for that matter.
