I've tried to use Vivaldi for a few weeks, but I kept getting hit by glitches and small annoyances that ended bringing me back to Chrome.
There are nice ideas there, but if I were them, I'd focus on making sure you are not losing users before going all in on growth and features.
- unstatusthequo 3y agoWhy not Brave? Chrome feels like quitting to me.
- ShamelessC 3y agoIsn't Brave a Chromium fork?
- haolez 3y agoIt doesn't seem to offer anything special except "it's not chrome". Vivaldi has some nice design concepts, but it was getting in my way.
- spdif899 3y ago"It's not chrome" is a pretty compelling feature for many. If you ignore Brave's insistence on following shitty web3 trends, it's an open source chromium fork that matches Chrome in performance and reliability while supporting the blocking of ads and trackers, and importantly ripping out all the ways Google sucks up all your usage data in Chrome.
- jadbox 3y agoVivaldi is a privately-owned co-op.
- MatthiasPortzel 3y agoVivaldi's target users are power-users who want every feature imaginable. They're not adding new features to browser for "growth", they're adding new features to the browser because their founding philosophy is that software should be as flexible and powerful as possible.
- b112 3y agoThen where is text reflow on zoom? Something easily done on desktop, and done by opera via chromium ebgine, and (crapily) by kiwi. It's literally a game changer, sonething many want, yet the sheer lack of care and concern for those with vision disabilities, or just older users, is astounding. Every desktop browser does zoom reflow, and it was removed from chrome just because google wanted to punish website who didn't make proper mobile websites. What a bunch of asshats.
