This is the worst-written article I've read in a long time. It repeats itself (forgivable), contradicts itself (unforgivable) and I'm pretty sure is factually inaccurate in places (Doesn't Firefox already show the slowest addons?)
In spite of that Vivaldi looks interesting, and as a long-time fan of Opera (the original company and the browser) I wish them well.

- icebraining 12y agoThe claims that there aren't new browsers is wrong as well - there's many of them, it's just that they don't have a marketing team behind them. Uzbl, luakit, surf, jumanji, midori, vimprobable, xombrero, etc.
- wanda 12y agoWell, none of those are new. Breach.cc is relatively new but even that goes back a year. But these highly extensible vim-like microbrowsers you list (excl. midori) have been around for years.
