Please Polish and more optimize for low-end PC

I am afraid this will be not as simple as you might think.
When the browser is too slow, it mostly is due to insufficient RAM in your computer. But the developers can't do much about this.
You can check in Windows task manager (SHIFT_CTRL_ESC), if the problem is insufficient RAM.
If the task manager tells you that only a few MB of RAM are available you need to close either other software running in the background or you reduce the number of open tabs.
If you don't want to close tabs you can hibernate them: right-click on the tab and choose "hibernate Tab". This will free some memory and maybe accelerate your Vivaldi.Cheers, Lucius

The developers could do plenty about it, if they wanted to.
However their "fix" may not be popular.
For example, they could limit how many tabs users can have open at one time. Or they could force some tabs to unload if a new tab takes a lot of RAM to render. Or they could reduce the memory cache which would result in some sites taking longer to load.
Then again, some users may be OK with such tradeoffs. It could be an option in settings.

@Jainil2003 Vivaldi runs fine on my 10-year-old laptop. Try disabling extensions, it could well be an extension slowing your Vivaldi down. If that fails: Try a fresh profile, that may be all you need to get Vivaldi working.
If it's still slow on a fresh profile: You may want to switch to a browser specifically designed for low-end computers. Or you may want to reinstall the operating system, it could well be a problem in the operating system that's slowing Vivaldi down (last time my Vivaldi was slow, that seemed to be the problem).

@derDay I can't recommend NeverInstall, simply because I don't know enough about it to recommend it. But NeverInstall might be quite useful on low-end computers, Vivaldi on NeverInstall might be worth a shot.

@Jainil2003 , you can give something more air on a low end PC with the inbuild feature in Windows, called Ready Boost.
This can improve somewhat your sys specs.
It is essentially to expand the RAM through a Pendrive or SD card. Naturally, of course, they must be empty and formatted before use and cannot be used to store other data and files, they also cannot be removed while in use, because this would result in an immediate BSOD, which is logical.
