Reminds me that i should pester them about touch screen support on Windows tablets. And perhaps also a option for making the tab close button persistent.

Does Vivaldi have sync yet? It's been years and every time I check - no sync.

In progress, there was a video shown of this feature

This gets linked every time, and every time it's still not the Vivaldi source code. This is their patched version of Chromium and is not sufficient for building the actual Vivaldi browser with.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I've used Konqueror (Chrome's grandfather) for about 6-7 years. After Firefox 3 was released I switched to FF and even though I've used Chrome for a year or two at some point, I won't replace Firefox again unless I have an equivalent Awesome bar (Chrome doesn't cut it) and Tree Style Tabs.

We lose tree style tabs by the end of the year

It's in development currently.

Brave on Android Firefox on Desktop (switched from Chrome), new FF is as fast as chrome, plus I love the compact view of FF.

While I love FF, it's so much slower than Chrome on JS-intensive sites. The Chrome feature I miss the most is the Task Manager, so I can find out which tab or extension is hogging my CPU/RAM.
