#2Unless it's libre, I won't even care. When will people start to give more importance to the license terms than a shiny new UI?

#3I'd be curious to see a comparison of this with the "big 3" (Chrome, Firefox, IE). And playing devil's advocate, why bother to make yet another browser?

#4I'm yet to understand the hype. Perhaps there are users out there to whom it is appealing, but personally I don't see the need for the features they bring out like notes in the browser or stacking tabs next to one another. These are things I can already do using standalone applications or a window manager.
I would rather a browser be simple and most importantly stable and fast.

The main focus of Vivaldi appears to be in improving the user experience. You can read more here:

There is no need to "understand the hype", as a) there is none and b) it mostly comes down to personal preferences. When you're happy with your current workflow using other tools - that's totally fine, good for you. But, you know, there are people out there who are really looking forward to an alternative Browser-UI that 1) is very fast, 2) has a lot of configuration/features the others lack and 3) does not require you to install buggy/slow/tracking extensions for each and every single thing you want to change.
e.g. having a vertical tab list out of the box is great, even when it still lacks some nice features from Tree Style Tabs.

I'm yet to understand all the attention smartphones get. Perhaps there are users out there to whom it is appealing, but personally I don't see the need for the features they bring out like address books and instant messaging in the phone or taking photos. These are things I can already do using standalone applications or other devices. I would rather a phone be simple and most importantly reliable and fast.

#9I like the idea of a new browser, but I won't switch from my beloved Firefox that has all the addons and stability I need.
Is it using webkit or something else?

The only browser I'm comparing it with is Opera 12 as Vivaldi is supposed to be its successor.
