Vivaldi May Be The Real Chrome-Killer - Comments Page 2

I have been using Vivaldi since Bob first mentioned it a couple years back although I would not describe myself either as a power user or a newbie (22 years online and 33 at the keyboard).

In answer to Curt, the current 1.14 version seems not to work with Privacy Badger.

I have had problems with video links as well as Youtube Autoplay not working so for the time being Chrome is my default but I doubt that will continue for long.

Another plus, you get a human response to a bug issue almost immediately!

I installed it on my windows 10 desktop and am very pleased with the performance. Any chance it will become available for the Chrome Book and android phone?

Bob, I tried to install Vivaldi on Win XP and got the following error message. Entry point not found, could not locate KERNEL32.dll. Thanks Gary

What else do you get with Opera? And who sold it to who them ? Vivaldi sold most of Opera as follows. Talked to your Samsung TV lately?

I downloaded Vivaldi after reading your review of it yesterday and love its speed and the ease of sorting and moving bookmarks.

Alas, Webroot's web filters won't work with it and according to their Support team, there are no immediate plans to change that.

Bob,
Good article on Vivaldi- would love to know which five browser extensions that Vivaldi couldn't handle. Thank you.

Another bonus for those that don't like the default browser at work is that like Chrome, Vivaldi can be installed without admin rights. (Doesn't change registry settings.) Nice if your IT department has your computer locked down like ours does.

From your article on Firefox recently, I began using Slimjet browser ( Flashpeak ). It is based on Chromium like Chrome but uses tons less RAM and processor. It has its own AdBlocker built in. Besides being slightly less pretty and having a name that reminds me of some slimy 'helper' programs, it is awesome! I use it every day and have Chrome extensions running well. I've recommended it to others and heard positive feedback.

I'll try Vivaldi. Nice name anyway, but will take allot to beat Slimjet!

I am an imbecile!
Not that I have a single issue w/my trusted Firefox; I figured maybe Vivaldi was my real salvation.
For the life of me, I could not figure out how to open it with my homepage launching 3 separate and populated tabs (e.g. facebook, amazon, twitter). I tried every configuration/combination possible in the Settings/Startup menu (Homepage;StartupWith;StartupPages).
I used commas, semi-colons, colons, pipes, spaces between the 3 pages I want Vivaldi to open to:
NO CAN DO!
I was liking what I saw but maybe Vivaldi was not meant for retarded peeps like me!

As you suggested I tried it on my Pclinuxos system and liked it over Firefox and Chrome. I had a problem importing bookmarks from Firefox so I moved them to Chrome and got them from there. Then I had a hell of a time getting them to load I a toolbar and spent much time until I got it to work but ultimately succeeded. I felt somewhat better after rereading your article.

This is my 2nd attempt to complete this post as when I neared the end the 1st time this text box became inactive. I made sure my keyboard USB was OK so I opened another tab with a text box and it was OK. Then the screen went black but other tabs were OK. I'm no expert but apparently something caused the page to crap out. Hope it's a one off.

Loaded Vivaldi for Linux. Liked it very much, fast light, no problems importing bookmarks from Firefox, liked a lot of the features. However, it kept locking up my system. After about 4 days of it, 2 to 3 times a day, that was enough and I uninstalled it. Maybe I'll try a future version to see if some of those problems clear.

I'll use Firefox till the end of the Earth!

Currently running the developer channel so far no complaints, its fast updated frequently and full of features out of the box. That said its naturally setup for developers, luckily you can change this and set it to classic Firefox look.

Another win for Firefox? Almost all new browsers use FF plugins, so well lets just leave it there.
