Here's another possible doofus.

About the only āannoyanceā is that Vivaldi, like many other browsers, encourages you to sign up and log in with a custom account to preserve your bookmarks, reading list, and more across multiple PCs.
Ah, when i first read this article, i entirely missed seeing the last three words [my italics, above], hence my pupils dilated & i began frothing at the mouth wrongly thinking this bloke was misleading readers with a lie that V would somehow "lose" all your bookmarks etc unless you created an account. Even upon realising my error, he still seems to have chosen a strange way just to say "V has Sync".
(Note that you are absolutely not required to enter an account to use Vivaldi, at all.)
Erm, oops, yeah i initially missed this too. Oh, look over there!
With Vivaldi, thereās little reason to use Reader View, as the default view is simply more effective. In some cases, Reader View added visual cruft as it spelled out certain normally hidden elements within the page.
Um, yeah, i tend to agree with him. Why RV is a thing remains a mystery to me.
Figuring out what all the icons stand for and where they live is probably the most unfriendly part of Vivaldi, as it feels a bit like poking around the instrument panel on an unfamiliar car.
Geez, just as i was beginning to quite like the bloke, he goes & says a doofus thing again. Is it maybe only in the Southern Hemisphere where V's Panel's hover-names appear? š
Certain functions might not be that useful, either such as a built-in Google Translate widget.
Wait, what? It's not gargle; why'd he say that? I mean, it even plainly says...

About the only thing I donāt like about it is that while you can drag and drop Bookmarks any place youād like, you canāt rearrange the RSS feeds for whatever reason.

Speaking of tabs, tabs management is Vivaldiās bread and butter. There are really almost too many options, even for power users!
Oh dear dog. Only someone so technically naive as to be unaware of TreeStyleTab / Sidebery could say something so silly & misleading.
Like virtually every other feature in this list, thereās no obligation to use these. And there are even more, hidden within the Settings menu, that I donāt use: mouse gestures, keyboard shortcuts, and more. There are even ācommand chains,ā or in-browser macros that you can use to execute multiple tasks all in one fell swoop. Those are for the real power users.
The what menu? š
OK, well, i suppose there's been worse articles. Better ones though, too.
