Does Vivaldi's UI feel out of date to you?

@chenyf Ambassadors are nothing more than users who volunteer.
To be clear, I wasn't trying to downplay anything, I was more just curious where this idea that many people switched to Arc came from?
-
@RiveDroite Based on what I see from people around me. But hold on, let me get some statistics and write a paper about it.

Went back to this because I has some free time and ended up moving things around trying to make something I think looks clean. I'm pretty sure one can find a thousand problems to it,
Interesting concept. But... where would you have extensions? Zoom controls if enabled?
Having the show/hide panel icon on the panel toolbar won't work if it's closed, so you need to use a keyboard shortcut to open it.
Otherwise 80% of that is doable just using the built-in options. Only thing that would need some work is the workspaces as separate icons, the tab bar moving below the navigation bar, and adding icons to the tab bar.
If you're happy with a right side tab bar, then it's 90% there except for the two extra icons you want on it.

New user here, and I agree. I had to hide a bunch of things to turn Vivaldi into what I wanted, and it's still not as attractive to me as Chrome/Brave.
With different defaults I think Vivaldi would snag people who are getting fed up with Google.
I wish the default UI looked like Chrome from before its UI started to bloat (maybe 8 years ago?).

Hi, there are so many ways to customize Vivaldi, you can make it look as you like.
The right is the default, except of the colors.
Do you like Opera GX?
The Brave default is OK but you cant change anything if you don't like it.
Please check the Vivaldi themes page for a start:

@SaguaroBoxer Hmm. Never liked the Chrome UI, new or old. I mean, never. I never understood why they seemed to make such poor UI choices, and why anyone liked them. In fact, I don't like the UI of any browser, except Vivaldi the way I have it set up for me. One thing other browsers don't do is allow you to make the UI your own.
For me, "dated" is a basically meaningless term. To everyone, "new" and "old" as applied to a collection of lines, spaces and icons mean something different to everyone. You can create an impression of "old" by using all of the elements of a browser from 20 years ago, because people will recall that was something from "then," not now.
Otherwise, Vivaldi does not remind me of anything from the last 30 years, nor make me thing of anything futuristic.

@mib2berlin I saw that, thanks! I can make Vivaldi work for me, but probably won't recommend it to my parents.

@Ayespy
I asked @SaguaroBoxer, just to show what is possible in Vivaldi.
Remember screen shots of your UI and icons, horrible.
