Vivaldi needs more UI animations to feel smoother
-
Despite Vivaldi recently received huge performance improvements, it still feels clumsy sometimes due to the lack of nice animations.
To be more specific, it lacks transitions for:
- tab open/close
- tab preview tooltip show/hide
- smoother side panel transitions on expand/collapse, with easing and opacity transition
Few examples from Opera
Tab open/close:
Opening side panel:
Tab loading:
With such an animations Vivaldi will become more comfortable to use, and most importantly - more friendly towards new users.
