Vivaldi is looking better and better with each release. The only thing that seems to be missing is some kind of Profiles or Containers for partitioning identities.
Given that Firefox is shipping this, are we looking at a reversal of the "Opera had it first" meme? :-)
The performance of Vivaldi is abysmal if you use many tabs. If you get past 50+, the UI becomes really sluggish (really slow to open new tabs, for example).
Certainly lots of features I'd enjoy but I couldn't find the source and builds logs so I was a bit dubious - after doing some research it appears to be closed-source and proprietary software. While I'm not saying it's bad because it's closed source, a web browser has access to a _lot_ of personal (meta)data and is certainly not something I'm about to trust to some black-box software that's not under review by the man…
Not saying your point is invalid but in the same context Google has access to all your stuff, including correlations to your mobile and location information and is not afraid to share it, as do others ie ISPs, possibly Microsoft. So for browsers controlling meta data on user end has limited value without rules and laws around user data.
Is anyone using a non-big-3 (Chrome/Firefox/Safari) browser enough to call it their default? I haven't tried Vivaldi yet but see this non-update hitting the front page as a heads-up that it might be worth checking out; how does this company pay the bills? I'm interested in hearing about both the options available on different operating systems and/or mobile devices and the primary benefit each provides. On Android, F…
I use it daily at work and QuteBrowser. They have worked really great for my needs. The backend is a basically a Chrome browser I don't see pages render incorrectly like I did with Opera.
Because of that, I suspected that Qutebrowser would be too "bare bones" for my tastes. Interestingly, that isn't the case at all. It's amazing how much extra functionality you can replace with an efficient control scheme.

If there's anyone from Vivaldi watching this thread my one and only request: when I type www.youtube.com show me https://youtube.com as the first choice and not some inner page that I bookmarked. I constantly enter youtube and hackernews via some page that I bookmarked ages ago.
Just saw the video and... "browser for rebels?" The hipster image histogram rebel, are you planning in integrating Tor or did the marketing guy just had to much coffee that day? I'm joking (mostly)... love the browser, thank you for your hard work.
EDIT: actually it appears you just posted at the wrong place

Looks like they aren't making money yet: https://www.proff.no/selskap/vivaldi-technologies-as/oslo/in... (warning, the website is in Norwegian, Vivaldi is based in Oslo).
I don't know if they have raised money yet, but the company has been created by the previous CTO of Opera, who made millions out of it.
Also, former Opera employees told me that the amount of money search engines are willing to pay to be featured in browsers is huge (relatively to the cost of running a browser company, even more so when you don't have to build the rendering engine).
