I Wish Vivaldi as Good as This Browser
I see that Vivaldi are slowly improving, really slow indeed but better than nothing. In 2 weeks, Sync are actual improve but the performance drop overtime still there on both mobile and desktop. I can't just restart the browser every time...
And oh, please, we can stop talking about WebKit and it limitations. While all based on WebKit but still separate by functions: ( I tell myself that they're actual WebKit, Gecko and Chromium,
)
- Safari, Brave, DDG and similar are garbage because it can't even recognize image links. Can't do image search, can't open image in new tab, very uncomfortable if you're working with images a lot.
- Firefox and it forks are little better, able to recognize image link but can't open in new tab, Instead, it give an option to copy the link of images. Still uncomfortable.
- Chrome, Edge, Vivaldi, Ulaa, Coc Coc are good at recognize image links and allow to open image in new tab, comfortable but... Yes, but take a look at this.
Please, this is not advertising, I don't even know who makes this browser.
YSBrowser
Check this out and take it as inspiration, if you still talking about iOS limitations then it's time to change your mind.
This browser have everything you need, and I wish Vivaldi can do similar ( or better ).--

@IwIanuel Yeah, right. A browser last updated 3 years ago. Forward to the past it is.
-
Apart also "very private" this browser and "Free - Offers in-app purchases" (In other words: full of ads)
I fear that Vivaldi won't go this way
-
@luetage 3 years or 10 years it is, the point is how it works.
-
@Catweazle Private or not, I talk about the browser useability.
- We have different points of privacy.
- No one force you to use it.
-
@IwIanuel, well, outdated and privacy apart, which are this advantages this browser has better than Vivaldi? Apart that you need a paid premium versión for some features, for what I see in the description (using translator). Well the screencast, screenshot, in Android it's a native function of the OS, m3u files also isn't a big feature, it's a simple textfile with the url of a streaming page. Not much different from a PWA which you can create in Vivaldi.
-
@Catweazle Well, probably you didn't try the browser because it privacy problem. But I tested, I can use anything and is comfortable without paying anything. I don't need those functions like cast so no problem.
Other than that, let me tell you some features of that browser I really like to see in Vivaldi.
- It have amazing PiP.
- Adblocker that split filters.
- Build in web inspector, view page source.
- Build in userscripts.
- Custom user agent.
- Handle image and video very well even on the site that blocked it.
- Did you ever try to download m3u8 on iOS?
- By pass the web limitions.
- Strong and smart pop-up blocker that even Adguard for Safari can't do.
It kill everything annoying on the web. And so on... The point here is why a single man can do that but those big companies can't? Something shady, right?
And outdated, of course. The owner no longer care about it and we all know about Chinese products, everyone wants to avoid it. But image we can have those features in Vivaldi for iOS, for desktop it can be solved by extensions.
Understand iOS limitions but people will always have some ways to bypass like Adguard did with 50.000 filters limits. I found an adblocker on iOS that bypass the limits and put every filters to 150.000 so Easylist & Privacy works flawlessly.
We can archive similar with Safari by using extensions but I can never comfortable with stupid Safari. That's bullsh*t browser, no wonder why they're killed it on windows.

@IwIanuel, well, if it works for you it's fine, maybe Vivaldi on iOS also can do it despite the limitation of Apple. But Vivaldi isn't a big company, it's a small cooperative with not so much devs to continuous work, maintan, update and improve Vivaldi for 6 different OS (Windows, Linux, Mac, iOS, Android, Android Auto), apart of the infrastructure and server, no one dev special for one OS, which has abandoned his work (which I understand with the Apple policy).
Part of this features you mencioned are not in iOS, but in other OS, not because Vivaldi, but precisely due to the limitations imposed by Apple. which won't allow a real competition to their
obsoletSafari.It was a hard work for the devs to create Vivaldi for iOS almost from scratch, stable released 9 month ago, due Apple only permits browser with the WebKit engine, only in the EU recently is required by law to admit browsers with other engines, but until now, only in the EU. This is mainly the reason why Vivaldi iOS lacks some features which it has in other OS. For sure it will have in the future. Patience.

I would never use an out-of-date Chinese browser, which even has in-app purchases.
-
@supermurs Might instead use Opera, which is also Chinese but at least up to date.
-
@supermurs I bet you can't read or understanding.
-
@luetage You can't read either.
-
@Catweazle At this point I don't even understand what are you talking about. From the very first I say it clear it's all about the browser usebility and I give the browser for Vivaldi for them to see it as inspiration. I don't care if they're able to add those features, they will if they can. Other than that I don't talking nonsense.
And you says part of those features are not in iOS? Nonsense.
Here, let me finish this post for ya. I'm developing web since 12, now a game developer. What ya saying was huge degradation of technology.
Post this for hope of Vivaldi team can improve the browser to amazing. Instead getting reply by those kids pretending as tech savy and is privacy delusions.
