Somewhat unrelated, I've been trying VS Code this week as people here kept suggesting it. For my most common use case (quick edits) it's horrendously slow and unusable. So while I'd love to like Vivaldi, I still don't see the future everyone else seems to see. These applications are just way too slow.

Sorry for the slow performance, we're constantly working on improving it. ;)

It's an amazing browser and the colours are awesome. The "Web Panel" works amazing for school works because you're able to write in Google Drive without moving from one tab to another. +1 Vivaldi

Thanks Rafael for sharing this great use case! :)

I switched from Chrome to Vivaldi a few weeks ago after reading about it in Ars Technica. The quick commands and customization options are awesome, and with widescreen monitors, I find I can't live without the tab tiling & tab grouping. I've been using Vivaldi exclusively and love it, but it does lack a few things that I would find hugely beneficial:

* No sync feature (though it's been "in progress" for some time without an ETA)

* DevTools are not dockable to the browser or customizable with Chrome extensions (e.g. React dev tools won't work)

* Extensions that modify the New Tab Page don't work, though you can set a custom URL for each new tab to go to

* Extensions that take screenshots seem to be hit or miss whether they work

* Downloads panel could use a few more enhancements (show download speed, allow drag n' drop from downloads panel to file form controls on browser)

Otherwise, I love it. Performance is on par with Chrome and my most critical extensions work flawlessly in it (i.e. Dashlane).

Bueno, después de una semana de uso intensivo, sólo pude constatar unos pocos fallos, aunque no muy importantes. Es verdad que algunos complementos de Chrome no funcionan bien en Vivaldi, como los extensiones de captura de pantalla, aunque tampoco me importa mucho al usar ya un programa de escritorio que se encarga de esto mejor que los extensiones disponibles (Postimage). y las páginas de inicio/new tab, como mencionó el compañero opes. Po otro lado también hay que decir que muchas extensiones de Chrome en Vivaldi no son necesarias al incluir dichas funciones ya de casa. Quizás sea deseable de disminuir un poco las miniaturas en el Acceso rapido, para que caben más a la vista. En resumen creo que tratándose de las primeras versiones hay que ser indulgente y paciente, ya que es, a pesar de los pequeños bugs, que seguro se arreglan en posteriores versiones, el mejor navegador que he probado
