Some Suggetion for devolopers
-
Honestly, Vivaldi is an excellent and underrated browser.
but I think I need to shift to firefox. why?- firefox has a cloud sync which allows me to log in anywhere anytime I don't need to add my account to another device for data backup. this feature I actually cool
- firefox support some additional video codec and so some steaming website recommend firefox. and trust me those site actually play better on firefox
- Vivaldi is excellent has a lot of features but it makes Vivaldi lots o ram hungry . in the past time, Vivaldi actually took less disk& ram.
- this is 2021 but still, no tor support it's really a shame
I hope you will consider my opinion and do something about these, I still follow Vivaldi social handles so I will know all updates as soon as you add those features will be back again.

Vivaldi uses Google video codec.
It would be really cool if they didn’t, that way google can’t remove video support which would make all the users switch browsers.@theproman said in Some Suggetion for devolopers:

Vivaldi does too, but you can’t sync to iOS.

Not too worried about this, but performance should always be a priority.

I know - but does FF have tor support? I don’t think so.

@code3 I tasted and it actually feels better in firefox
2 I know Vivaldi has a sync but is it cloud sync?
3 for tor support I use brave -
@theproman Vivaldi uses meteorite sync, which is far more advanced. For Tor you should use the Tor browser, as recommended by the Tor project.
-
@theproman It is "cloud" sync in that, like 99.99% of all sync operations on the web, the data is hosted (encrypted) on a remote server. There is no peer-to-peer sync in Vivaldi. In fact there is barely any such thing as peer-to-peer sync of web applications anywhere in the world at all.
-
@theproman Don’t use brave for tor. If you aren’t that concerned about anonymity, setup tor as a proxy for Vivaldi. If you need a super-private or anonymous setup, use tor browser.
sudo apt install tor sudo apt install torbrowser-launcher
For Linux, the above commands will install tor service to run as a socks5 proxy in the background and tor browser.
But you’ll have to figure out how to get tor service for Mac I guess.

@theproman Yes it is cloud sync.

- Tor's own browser is based on Firefox
- Brave is built on the same base foundation as Vivaldi (Google Chromium) but they are a very untrustworthy vendor with a known and documented history of tricking users.
The upside of that is that if Brave can build a Tor client on a Chromium base then Vivaldi should be able to do that too. The question is whether such a feature is important to them or not. The user base of Tor is very small compared to the general WWW-using public so it may not be much of a priority for them, considering the development effort that might be required.
