How did you find about Vivaldi?
-
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.

Word of mouth, as soon as I heard it was able to be customized via css I was all over it, I love css and have an unhealthy infatuation with coding it
I do flip between this and Firefox, both get equal use out of me, I like to check websites out in multiple browsers as a developer does. -
I recently ditched Maxthon after 3 years, and Googled for another browser. There was a review site that reviewed 5 different browsers, and Vivaldi was one that I'd never heard of before. And here I are!
-
Probably hacker news or wired or something lol. It's been so long. Although to be honest it's still only kind of my primary browser, I still use Edge on my PC sometimes because it starts faster and Safari on my mac because it's wayyyy better at battery life.
-
I was searching for a FAST (other than Firefox, that loved-hated spluttering memory leak), extensible browser -- which would let me have tab thumbnails that are always visible (not only on mouse hover) SIDEWAYS down the monitor.
Additionally, that browser would have to be fully compatible with with Dragon NaturallySpeaking
And I found it

i was an old opera user who switched back to internet eplorer/edge when opera 16 was out...disappointed by the direction opera was taking i changed...then one day in a telegram group about sailfish os they were talking about opera and someone said that ceo left to form vivaldi...immediately downloaded (it was like beta 0.7) and never regretted...it feels like home
