  Vivaldi is based on Chromium. So it basically gets placed in the same field as Chrome and Edge.

    Basically except they dumped the parts they didn’t like and built it out to be better than anything else based on chromium.

    So it’s leagues above both of those browsers.

  I use it for work stuff, so it’s not my daily driver and I wish Firefox just copied some of the stuff.

  Tiling and Grouping is just neat.

  or if Vivaldi switched to the firefox engine it would be perfect.

  If you use Firefox but are frustrated with how slow it can get, try Waterfox. It’s Firefox but without the annoying stuff.

  Vivaldi has some amazing features that I wish other browsers would catch up on. Unfortunately it’s really buggy. Crashes with no recourse to recover your tabs. That’s a deal breaker and I dealt with that a fair number of times. Then I decided I’d use their workspaces feature to try and avoid losing all my tabs. Great plan, worked until all my fucking workspaces got deleted too. For every good feature Vivaldi has, it has several game breaking bugs.

  I love Vivaldi, if Firefox could do side bar and tab grouping id use it but V just does it better and with built in ad blocking.

    I use Edge and can’t switch to Firefox for the same reasons. There’s stuff I use on Edge that is not available on Firefox. Unfortunately, those are dealbreakers for me.

    There is an extension for tab grouping (simple tab groups). It and ublock origin are the two main ones I install first when I install FF fresh.

    Side tabs I’m not sure of, but I’d be more surprised if there isn’t an extension for that, too.

      Even if there was it’s going to bloat the fuck out of the install, unfortunately.

  It’s not bad, but using a Chromium-based browser still supports Google’s attempts to build a monopoly on browser rendering engines. Also, there are Browsers (like LibreWolf, a fork of Firefox) with better privacy features and adblock.
