The state of web browsers in 2018
-
Congratulations...
I still can't understand what they see in Chrome, a raw minimum feature set Browser... If Chrome didn't have the unfair Google advantage (Chrome ads all over the web) would it still have a place on every Web Browser competition list? beats me...
-
@neltherion: chrome work with prime video ...
-
Don't know of that magazine, it's not printed in my country but congrats for winning the review!.
-
Do you think that the scientists at CERN that are behing Proton mail and ProtonVPN will be willing to colaborate Vivaldi Browser in order to integrate their VPN solution into Vivaldi? I hope that the team will consider this option in the future.
-
@driverop: Thank you This magazine is only printed in the UK. The whole purpose of this blog is to share this great news with many who don't know about this magazine.
-
@humanoidvivaldionsteroids: Thanks so much for the suggestion. We have been talking internally about VPN and is on our priority list. Hope to keep you all posted as soon as we have something concrete.
-
@catweazle: Thank you for your wishes and thanks for sharing the blog post
-
@varsha I hope that you can reach an agreement with the scientists behind ProtonVPN. Here's more information about them and their technology: https://protonvpn.com/about
https://protonvpn.com/secure-vpn https://protonvpn.com/blog/threat-model/ https://protonvpn.com/privacy-policy Thank you for doing wonderful things with Vivaldi! Five of my friends including myself are proud users of vivaldi.

unfortunately there is no usable browser that is still actively developed right now
2 may become worthwhile in the future, one is pretty much LTS of another one that got mutilated just like Opera [RIP] and there is also chromium... yeah -
This is good news, it's in the position it deserves, keep it up.
-
Great stuff! Not just enjoyable, interesting too. Or perhaps I mean not just interesting, enjoyable too. Both, anyway. I'm passing this on to my girlfriend who still thinks FF is great. I add my congratulations to all those already expressed!

Vivaldi is beautiful, but if we talk about privacy, much needs to be done. Firefox is much better at that, and I have no doubt about that.
-
A wonderful & thoroughly deserved accolade V-Team -- yay you.
As we say in the feature, it was a close race between Vivaldi and Chrome, but ultimately we opted for innovation over ubiquity. Vivaldi was one of the only browsers we reviewed that is actively looking forward and constantly adding useful new tools, rather than fixing things that should have worked properly in the first place. In our speed tests, Vivaldi and Chrome easily topped the chart, but we found Vivaldi used less memory than Google’s browser, which swung in its favour.
- Ha - that para is one in the eye for the various V naysayers who tend to come & go around here.
- Chrome? They voted for that dross in #2? IMO the incomprehensibility of that decision, sadly, tarnishes their #1 choice slightly... not due to any fault of V, but simply coz rating Chrome in their top three thereby denotes a pretty warped logic process. Big & popular has no automatic nexus with good. They were wise with #1, but dopey with #2.

I followed some of the links in the article. This one cracked me up ... so stupid it's hilarious.

Google Chrome is often preferred by people who consider themselves power users
-
@neltherion: Exactly!
-
@steffie: Notice that he writes "Chrome is often preferred by people who consider themselves power users" instead of "Chrome is often preferred by power users".
That's a significant difference... -
@neltherion Don't forget, before you slag it off, that if not for Chrome, there would be no Vivaldi, or it would be running on an inferior and slower rendering engine.
Chrome still scores higher than all other browsers including Vivaldi and Opera in the HTML5 Test
-
@pesala: Chrome or Chromium?

No is correct, do you know how many extensions you have to install to make it decent? It is not from all users, you have to be very power users.

congratulations to Vivaldi (:
It would also be good if Vivaldi had its own extensions store, but in the meantime it’s easy enough to use the Chrome Web Store.
i agree here. why ? because Vivaldi Technologies and it's browser are independent and a seperate extenions store underlines that ( especially important to place and etablish the browser as an independent alternative )
also people could develope extensions for Vivaldi's side bar.
