What is the appeal of Vivaldi browser? I know it is started by Opera's CEO but it is closed-source (only the chromium part is open-source). The only feature I like is tab split view. Last i tried, it was pretty buggy on video sites.

Video handling definitely got better in last 6 months. > What is the appeal of Vivaldi browser It's browser made for power users. Bunch of features built in with a lot of flexibility. Few of my favorites: Vertical Tabs, "Stack tabs by host" (this extension practically), Hibernating background tabs.

  Two of your 3 favorites are not unique to Vivaldi, is there any other feature worth the switch besides "Stack tabs by host"?

    Even stack tabs by host is not unique with this extension is it? :) It's made for power users as I said, for example you can change the right click menu on the tab bar and have only things you care about in there instead of 1000 options. I bet there are other "unique" features, but that's not the point. If you are happy with chrome keep using it.
