3 things that work better in Vivaldi compared to Google Chrome

@Stardust Heehee...

@Steffie this is epic! Good memories. I am too lazy to boot into the Windows, so here is a screenshot instead

@Stardust OT [gasp!].

Since i switched from win7 to Nix in 2014, & subsequently distro-hopped my way around, i have installed O12.16 in each of my on-SSD Nixes. As we all know, it's largely more sad than productive these days, yet i simply can't bear the thought of uninstalling it. I still hang on to my sliderule, my TI-59, & my O12 through thick & thin, despite none of them being actively in use for mega-yonks, simply because the idea of scrapping them seems like some kind of heinous technological crime.

@stardust: Well, no need to drag and drop because in Chrome 87 they have added auto group functionality. Enable them under "chrome://flags/#tab-groups-auto-create".

@ruulrskybound Stay tuned for some next Vivaldi Snapshots. Vivaldi devs are testing a better UI for tab stacking.

Tabs.That does not help Horizontallers, however. Let them eat cake?

@priest72: I agree. And Firefox is improving a lot its speed and performance in the last recent months.
My wet dream would be a Firefox fork made by Vivaldi to get where Firefox lacks in my opinion (features, customization and integration with different OSes. For example, Windows has the close, minimize and maximize icons on the right, and MacOS has in on the left side. Firefox has the close tabs icons on the right always, but Vivaldi has them on the right side on Windows and on the left side on MacOS).
-
@almarma - Vivaldi has plenty of what Firefox used to be good at, namely flexibility.
The one thing Vivaldi could improve a bit on (at least on my Win10 setup with SSD), is a quicker boot at startup. Brave, Slimjet and Edge are always faster at this.
Waterfox 3rd generation (fresh off the press) seems to be on the road to pickup where Firefox left off.
So, in the meantime, keep up with the good work Vivaldi!

@almarma Gecko is harder to mantain (less people to work on it), tends to change too often (vanilla gecko, goanna, quantum, rust, servo, chromium-like extensions...) and the fact that several minor forks switched from it to chromium is pretty concerning. Would be an huge risk which could even kill Vivaldi. Chromium is more modular and has more people which fix it. I think is the reason why we'll never see a Gecko fork. Most gecko forks are/were just rebranded Firefox, some are tweaked foxes and some are separate branches which couldn't be reliable nowadays (due outdated gecko code).
-
@danielson but Waterfox has no sync features, am I right? Also they are based on an old Firefox engine if I'm right.
-
@Hadden89 Interesting. I don't know about the intricacies of developing a web browser so I had no idea about the issues.
-
@almarma - can sync with Firefox database.
