How Vivaldi browser is different from Google Chrome
-
@shadowxt: Still not get it how updates work...
-
I used it for a few months and I loved the experience, especially how fast it is and the sync between desktop and mobile. I left it and returned to Firefox for one simple reason: It is chromium and as such it consumes a lot of RAM.

@stardepp Maybe the Windows version has it but the Mac version doesn't. This is what the contextual menu has when you right click on the tab.
That's why I used "Tab Suspend" to get just what you guys suggest.
-
@junihh macOS has it as well. I don't know why yours doesn't show it. Did you edit the menus by any chance?
-
@AltCode Nope, I didn't edit anything. Maybe the version I have installed is out of date? I have 3.5.2115.87 (Stable channel) (x86_64)

vivaldi is now my main browser in android, still miss the experience on ios. as i ditched my small windows laptop in favor of and ipad.
-
@kimmoj: Totally agree. It drives me nuts every time I want to open a tab on the other monitor. But in my case I've already switched to Vivaldi completely, can't go back now since there is so many features I love and got used to. Also, the problem with extensions' keyboard shortcuts not working for at least a couple of years now is just ridiculous. It seems like no one cares about these very old problems in the devs team.

The one is customizable the other is uncustomizable

Expect how it affects Vivaldi, when Google blocks all its Chromium Code APIs for third party Chromiumbrowsers on March 15th. Among them the Chrome Store API.
Thereafter they require Chrome and a Google Account.

@Catweazle Seriously???

@Priest72 , seriously, see my post in Browsers.

Vivaldi seem to be very promising. But I am not fully ready yet to jump of from current opera completly. I wonder if current opera is also just a chromium-ui clone or if they have build up their own UI. Is there any difference in speed and memory-usage?
-
@fabma , no difference in speed or memory, but in privacy.

How do you say "dunk on Google" in Norwegian?

Now that Google has announced plans to emasculate Chromium to squelch Vivaldi and other Chromium based browsers, what is Vivaldi's plan to deal with the withdrawal of services necessary to have a fully functioning browser? Starting in March, vital APIs will be unavailable to Vivaldi or any of the other browsers at the tender mercies of the beast known as Google.
I'm not going anywhere. Vivaldi is my daily driver on Windows, Ubuntu and Android. Thuggery will not get my business even if Vivaldi is temporarily less capable.
-
@shadowxt: Vivaldi should seek to replicate the customizing functions of Tab Mix Plus!
-
@RockinRobbins Seems to be just the sync service which is affected plus spelling and possibly translation features.Not really a showstopper for those who do not use these services.
Looks like those features could become more heavily licenced and thus in effect pay for services.
-
@Priest72 , sync isn't a problem for Vivaldi, but the API of the Chrome Store can be a problem.
-
@RockinRobbins Its just a matter of time before Google flex its muscle now that it killed off other browsers and is a dominant player in smart phones. I never understand why people don't see this coming a mile away. It doesn't shock me and I seen them do much worse to Conservatives on the internet.
