Snapshot 1.0.190.2 Startpage customization, UI zooming, auto-update on mac and more
-
Hoping for a new snapshot later (or tomorrow…bcuz y'know...time zones xD)! ^_^

I would say, this snapshot do have some improvements, but it is still far from being usable. Of course, it is also reasonable for a snapshot. I just want to share my experience: 1. The speed seems to be a little better than Firefox and Chrome, but clearly lower than Yandex beta. 2. Vivaldi claims to become an advanced browser and not as simple as Opera. But until now, Vivaldi is actually a simpler browser than opera due to lack of UI of Chrome extensions. 3. I really doubt whether many people will use the mailbox of Vivaldi itself. It seems to be so unrealistic to develop a mail server against Google, Hotmail etc. 4. I personally do not support laying too much emphasis on the Visual effects (Homepage picture, animation, theme etc.). Productivity should be given the highest prior. For me, the UI of extensions should be available from the beginning; 5. I really hope that Vivaldi will not go the direction of Linux – some enthusiasts claim it to be wonderful, in fact, it lacks of basic functions of Windows.

3. Vivaldi Internet browser aim to embed a MUA (standard IMAP/SMTP client, actually) not a server. Vivaldi email servers are @ vivaldi.net, but Vivaldi email client will be able to use any other standard email server.

Aside from Tab Creation Time (which seems to be only a big deal in Vivaldi and not in other browsers) the layout, tabs and way address bar is implemented, threw me off…
Simply put, Sleipnir didn't make me more comfortable using the web... The only Browser that made me felt that, was Opera 12.x and prior...
