I use Vivaldi from its first stable version.

Pros:

It's a browser that in its functions, tools and possibilities far exceeds any other. It's just the best browser I've ever used,

Cons:

Few, perhaps that there is still no mobile version

What about privacy? I'm using Chrome right now because of developer tools and extensions, but I'm always concerned about providing Google so much information about me. Before, I used Safari because of privacy reasons but it just doesn't provide the extensions I want. Is Vivaldi the holy grail providing functionality AND privacy?

@fivedesign Vivaldi doesn't track any user data (apart from broad user numbers and their approximate location/region). Being based on Chromium we're often asked if there's any connections to Google going on in the background. Rest assured, we don't send _any_ data to Google. You can read more about this in our privacy policy here: https://vivaldi.com/privacy/brow... It's also worth noting that our new Sync functionality is end-to-end encrypted and users can set an extra password on it after set up. We couldn't see this data if we wanted to. :) https://help.vivaldi.com/article... Safari is brilliant on privacy as well, but extension compatibility is a popular concern. Because Vivaldi is based on Chromium you can install any Chrome extension (via the same Chrome Web Store) and it will work as normal. We do run into the odd buggy-ness with extensions here and there but if it is reported to our devs they're usually able to resolve quite quickly. https://help.vivaldi.com/article... So, yes... (we think) this is the holy grail 😛

I'll give it a try! FYI, in the features section on your website, 'lazy loading' is translated into spanish as "carga lenta" which means "slow loading". I don't think that's a feature you want to announce:)

It's a no-brainer, as soon as the mobile version comes out.

Vivaldi is light, fast, customizable and user friendly. V may still be under construction but in many ways outperforms other browsers. Once other corporate driven browsers see what Vivaldi can do. They want to do it too. Only to find Vivaldi does it better. Most people think Vivaldi is just "for power users". They are wrong. Vivaldi is for anyone from newbie to the expert power user.

I recommend anyone to download. Install. Poke around the settings and the rest of the GUI to find out how a powerful browser can be so user friendly. Perfect for everyone.

Yeah, I found my browser. It's Vivaldi.

Pros:

Fast, Lightweight, User Friendly

Cons:

None that I can find.

This is awesome. I like Chrome because of the extensions but the panels + tab grouping makes me way more organized. Just switched my default browser Edit: Is there any way to use this with Chromecast? Also it'd be great if there was an option when I right click a link to have that link open up on top of the current tab group.

I was on my way to make it as my default browser. Unfortunately, I was unable to import my bookmarks from Chrome. The import process didn't show any errors but no change in bookmarks. Am I doing something wrong? * EDIT: Nevermind, I've found them in a folder named "(1)"
