How did you find about Vivaldi?
-
I learned about Vivaldi because i was looking for a high quality email provider. And i am not disapointed at all ! Nevertheless, i do not know how to install the web brower on Linux Mint. It is not available in the programm manager :huh:

Hey Kamelot. Mint's based on Ubuntu, so I suggest downloading the .deb installer from Vivaldi.com and install it. It should add a repo to your sources and update automatically.

Exactly. That's what I did - except that I used the .deb installer from Vivaldi.net so that I could get continual snapshot updates.

Saw a post on Facebook about it so decided to try it. Have been using UC browser for PC's and Maxthon Cloud Browser.

Read about Vivaldi last night :

At the 27th of January this year the tech news platform 'heise.de' released an article 'Vivaldi: Former Opera director is presenting a new web browser'. That was my personal starting signal..
Same here. I stumbled on that article as well.
Following http://digi.no I did as well. Jungle drums told me, you'd say. That "former Opera director" was the reason for me to follow. The drums told me to listen … I still do, and give it a bark now and then.

I also found out from an article, "Former Opera CEO Launches Vivaldi, A New Browser For Power Users" http://techcrunch.com/2015/01/27/vivaldi-the-four-browsers/ There wasn't really a browser that I was in love with at that moment and seeing one targeted at 'power users' was very appealing. The extra organizational bits drew me in, especially stacked tabs. I never used Opera except when cross browser testing so this is refreshingly new. I think… I adore it?

Came from Firefox. Browsed Wikipedia, looked at a timeline of web browsers. Saw an interesting new browser. Currently trying it out. It's amazing so far
-
I discovered Vivaldi in Dec. 2015 while searching for info on Opera's next browser update or what was happening there.
-
I found out about it from a discussion about browsers on The Student Room forum.
-
Read about it on a IT-news site, when the first technical preview was launched. Vivaldi was called "the real successor of Opera", so I checked it out. Of course many things wheren't working back then (hence the "preview" status of the release), but I kept an eye on Vivaldi. Currently checking out the newest beta release and so far I like it much much better than new Opera.

This article from Lifehacker convinced me.

I had heard about Vivaldi for a year almost, but did not use it before yesterday. I got a brand new machine and wanted a clean new start with software I had not tried before and are now trying out Sleipnir and Vivaldi browser. Both are very promising.

Opera Forum during the dark transition days
Thanks Opera User ;}I waited for Vivaldi 1.0 then pounced on it!
-
Heard about it in a tech news youtube video.

I think it was on some article somewhere

I come from Chrome and haphazardly found Vivaldi while searching for a new browser more secure. I continuously had problems with Chrome remembering cookies I specifically wanted to be deleted after closing the browser. Even after two uninstalls the option didn't work.
Suddenly my eyes fell on Vivaldi on a wikipedia page. I followed the url and read the following sentence here:
"The browser is aimed at staunch technologists…"This convinced me to install it. Then I uninstalled it because I didn't immediately find what I was looking for, and the bookmark icons didn't refresh (I figured it out by now). A day later I installed it again, and I'm like a kid with a new toy. I'm totally loving this prodigious creation appropriately called Vivaldi.

I was bored so I Googled "web browsers" and a new one that I had never, ever heard of showed up. Thought, "what the heck" and installed it. After figuring out how to import and set-up the bookmark toolbar I found my new default browser. Been using Vivaldi for a little over two weeks now. Beats the crap out of Chrome and Firefox. One major problem, I still need to learn the other 99% that Vivaldi can do. I doubt that I will ever learn or comprehend every thing that Vivaldi is able to do. Or, what I can do with Vivaldi. Vivaldi is one mean browser…I like that.
-
I read about it on the Opera support forum. I was only in the first technical preview stage, so I came back from time to time to check the progress.

I was an early adopter! Right when Vivaldi was getting started, I was an Opera 12 holdout, and I was googling for a solution to some asinine problem when I ran into an article about Vivaldi by chance. I liked what I was reading about and installed it, and I haven't used anything else since. It's almost surreal to log onto an older device that still has multiple installations of Opera and imagine using all those permutations of it to do anything.
