Browser Alert: Will You Switch? - Comments Page 2

Vivaldi is behaving like the latest version of Chrome: it claims my Win7Pro desktop has no internet connection.
Obviously, I'll use neither on this machine.
I HAD been enjoying Chrome frequently.

Opera was a putz to uninstall and vivaldi seems to have the admin only uninstall. I own my computer and log in as admin only to be told that opera will not uninstall unless I log in as admin. I will not install such software from any company that requires an admin uninstall as the main method of getting rid of the program.

As usual, user comments were very helpful, and as such, Vivaldi is not for me.

'YES... spelling, punctuation, grammar and proper use of UPPER/lower case are important!'

but: 'Vivaldi has a minimallist user interface, ...' (No need for this comment to appear in public.)

EDITOR'S NOTE: My typos are public. :-) Thanks for the sharp eye.

At first I didn't really like the colors but when I turned them off it looked better. I really like the Task Manager feature, you can see how each tab is using system resources. I also like the menu icon, rather than hunt for everything.

@MmeMoxie - Menu that has the V in it --> Tools --> Settings --> Search (on the left side, not the Search box). You can change your Search Engine here. (I removed Bing so I only have DuckDuckGo and Google).

I have tried it in Linux (Debian ditros, so quite a few Linux distros are covered) and macOS (I still prefer Safari and Vivalvi doesn't feel faster than Safari). Did not try mobile yet.

I don't think i have the need to try it. I use and my default browser is slimjet and it's based on Chromium. It is the fastest 64bit browser I have. It's even faster than my firefox. Been using it for a year now and are extremely satisfied with it. No need to change.

Have anyone tried Cyberfox? I use it now for over a year. There is no bloating and does most of what I need at 5 times the speed of anything else I have tried. The only thing annoys me is... it cannot use norton safe search app for some reason. But man is it fast.

I installed it and ended up having to un-install it. Non of my pages would scroll properly. (Facebook, My yahoo, etc) When I would try to scroll there would be a lag of 4 or 5 seconds before the page would actually move. Thought maybe it was my system but every thing worked fine on all my other browsers. Then my laptop started doing strange things. I un=installed it and every thing went back to normal. I may give it another try after its been around a while. I liked what little I saw of it.

I say bring back the good ol'd days of 28k dial-up, Win 3.11 and Netscape.

No current browser satisfies me. I'm a big bookmarks user, and it seems browser developers don't care anymore. Maybe they assume everybody uses a search engine instead.

Bookmarks management was a breeze for me ages ago with Maxthon. Opera (old generation) wasn't bad. Now I'm with Firefox, and basic functions are lacking or are ridiculously inadequate. You can't search for a folder. Sorting does not occur by default. Etc.

So I might give Vivaldi a try. When it's more or less stable.

I will take a look at Vivaldi in the near future just because I am curious. I scrolled through the other comments and didn't see a reference to another browser I use - Pale Moon. It's a product of Moonchild Productions. Not a great deal of info on their pages but it's the browser performance that interests me. It's a Firefox spinoff and it is really clean and fast. I still use Firefox but for quick research, checking my email, etc. Pale Moon really does the job. Thank you for your time and efforts Bob. You are appreciated.

I like Vivaldi. It's like chrome and opera had a kid.. :-) It did take a while for most of the bugs to be worked out but in it's current version can be used as a daily driver.. The loading has been sped up and I enjoy it.. The thing that is nifty about it is the configurability.. It can be as basic or option loaded as you want it to be..
So yes. I would highly recommend giving it a spin to see if it is for you.

Just started using Vivaldi a few days ago on Windows 10. I've always liked Opera, so I've got good expectations from Vivaldi. So far so good. Fast.
