Finally, my browser can sync with my keyboard and mouse pad's colors! /s I do see this as a sign that Vivaldi is more willing to work on integrations. Is it worth considering over Firefox?

I am an AVID Vivaldi fan. Have never been happier with a browser. Quite a few times I wondered "can I do this?", turns out that the feature is already implemented or it's pretty easy to do it myself. It's a chromium browser so you know what you get in terms of rendering and extensions. The actual browser features are html/js/css and fully modifiable.

The only issue I ever had is that it used to be a bit slow on my Mac(borderline unusable) but it seems to have improved now.

Some of my favorite features:

- Very detailed history - great a and quick bookmarks - embed pages in the side panel for quick access - pretty cool note system that supports screenshots and markdown - Themes (as you mentioned, this might not be essential but I don't like an eyesore) - Page actions, this are small scripts/css that you can apply to any page and can come very handy.

I really can't think of a browser that would give me anything more. Maybe only the built-in VPN like Opera but I always use an extension.

Thanks! That’s super helpful. I might try it! Do you know if there’s a way to disable or auto hide all the scroll bars, tab bars etc so it’s basically like windowless? That and vertical bars are the main things keeping me on Firefox.

It is in terms of UI customization, beneath it's still Blink. I'm using it since Firefox destroyed my profile on the day they rolled Quantum - I'm most of the time satisfied but there were periods when UI was broken (tray for extension icons for example).

Yes you can turn off tabs, address, status and sidebar - not sure about scrollbars. Instead of turning everything off consider playing with UI customization features

Good question! I didn't know but there is an experimental "Overlay Scrollbars" flag in vivaldi://flags that enables that and it's great (this is a perfect example of wondering if you can do something and then finding it's already a feature)

It looks like this: https://imgur.com/a/CpUg78J

About the vertical bars, which ones are you referring to?
