Why not integrate an open-source system like Firefox Sync?

#12I’ve used Vivaldi for a bit, and it’s a nice browser. Coming from Chrome, there is a pretty painless transition since most extensions will work fine.
However, Vivaldi does nothing to improve the state of the web. It’s just another webkit, fostering the monoculture; and their business model and practices are basically the same as Google’s, just on a smaller scale.

#13I love Vivaldi. Really a great browser. Special the you can see more than one tab at once, that's a really nice feature on todays large 32" and 43" screens. I wonder why nobody else does it. Vivaldi has it since beginning.
Vivaldi has it from beginning because von Tetzchner came from Opera, which also did this back in the day. Their pre-chrome version was an MDI application.

#14Shocking the extent to which Vivaldi is innovating at the chrome level compared to Firefox(revenue 2016 > $500 million).
Firefox is spending millions on political goals, failed OS' etc. Only a small portion is put into the progress of FF - speeding up rendering a notable exception.

#15I tried Vivaldi a year ago. It was nice to have greater amount of customizations and I liked it very much. But, I couldn't use it for longer as it had memory leaks, so, if you opened and closed lot of tabs, you had to restart the Vivaldi from time to time.
But, this might have been fixed and i should recheck.

Ever since they forced out Brendan (co-founder and creator of javascript no less) because of their political intolerance, FF has really started to go down hill. Each release you have to go through more about:config settings to turn off all their "helper" apps (ie. spyware partnerships).

While I appreciate the political work, I would like to see better leadership at Firefox, and less spent on side and failed projects.

#18I love the users first approach they have been taking. They are constantly listening to feature requests and implementing the most common ones.

Vivaldi just a custom Chromium though.
Still, first post from Vivaldi. Gonna give it a try, mostly for the tab management features included by default. Could never get any of the new tab group extensions to work quite right (or at all) in Firefox after quantum. Also built-in vertical tabs and hibernate background tabs option!
Even though I'll prob end up back at Firefox anyway since FOSS..

#20Seems pretty great so far. Is there a way to get the Firefox autoscrolling behavior, i.e. middle mouse click to toggle auto scroll mode?
There's a Chrome extension (aka Vivaldi Extension) you can use for it.
