Tips: if you're a wm user and don't care to see the header bar with the maximize and close buttons, you can get rid of it with CSS (e.g. "header display none"). For maximum real-estate, use vertical tabs and minimize the tab bar to just display the favicons. Again, for less clutter, you can also hide the address bar, which you can re-open with a keybind (e.g. ctrl L). When you get rid of the address bar, though, you will also lose direct access to extensions. However, if you don't regularly click on extensions, you can still access them through the Quick commands window, which I believe is triggered with F2. I've been using Vivaldi for a couple of years now and it's been a good experience. Like with any browser, it has its positives and negatives. What got me hooked is that it is highly customizable and allowed me to reclaim viewing space on my old, 13-inch screen laptop.
Came back to comment, have been test driving vivaldi for a week now. Was really simple to import my entire profile and get started. Really nice browser, less clutter and tiling tabs ftw
Do not neglect the tab management capabilities. You're wasting your time if you don't use them to keep yourself organised. You can stack tabs by host, create custom stacks for specific purpose, and _then to have them in a workspace_ is like having shelves for your drawers. This alone makes it _the browser_ for busybodies that do a hundred things at once with it.
@@ZaneyOG Not to mention, you can also tile all tabs in a stack on-demand, _or_ create custom tile arrangements per-workspace; so you can cross-compare documents, compare prices at different shoppes, create your own multi-view workspaces with video player embeds, and _so-on._ A neat use case for tiles and web panels in tandem is to use IRC (or any online Twitch chat client of choice) for joining multiple Twitch chat channels, then set up their corresponding video pages to multi-cast the streams and _still_ participate in all of their chats. Works better if you mute all but one and the event is collaborative though. Works better if the web panel is floating so you can overlap the content. If you enable custom CSS and play with the chat interface, as well the web panel a bit you can make a chat client see-through so when the panel is opened, you don't miss a beat. but that requires playing with experimental features and tooling around with web code.
I'm shopping around for a new browser, and Vivaldi will definitely get some testing. What I like about it so far is the ad blocking (main reason I'm shopping), and all the customization. I won't have to install as many extensions because a lot of the stuff I used on Chrome is baked into Vivaldi. And I love the quick command function.
@@VivaldiBrowser You guys should consider tab management like simple tab groups extension in firefox. Like sometimes I want to drag and drop tabs to different workspaces but I can't an have to copy-paste them. I love bloat. I love Vivaldi bloat.
On Linux, depending on your wm, it is still buggy, I use i3wm, and from time to time, I have some bugs appearing. But in a non tile-based wm it's probably all good.
One of the best features for me is the Web Panels. You can have tools like ChatGPT and Slack readily accessible across all Workspaces. I have 3 Slack web panels there for different clients. I do wish Vivaldi would clean up how their tab dragging looks. I was comparing it with Edge and Edge's was a lot smoother (that's one thing that it has going for itself). Edge also has Workspaces but I still think Vivaldi's is better.
The stack tabs feature is my favorite feature of vivaldi and it works so much better than the grouped tabs that other browsers try to use. I find it to be just as fast if not faster than edge or chrome but I don't know if it is. I also like how customizable it is.
I've used it in the past and yeah, I like the fact that you can set it to be just a simple browser. It was kind of an eyesore throwing all of that other stuff in there in the past. I like Vivaldi now. It may become my new browser of choice.
I sometimes use Vivaldi but i am having a hard time finding a good use for it .most browsers i use have major upsides and downside but Vivaldi just seems like something that is good but doesn't offer me anything that i am interested in that i can't get on other browsers. i know it was supposed to cater to fans of the old opera and i am like that .but in think i only liked the old opera because it was my first browser after internet explorer not because it was the best browser ever .i like to call Vivaldi the Pepsi of browsers. its an alternative but not really interesting. maybe i will find some feature in Vivaldi that i will really like .but right now it just sits on my pc and rarely gets used . i also had a bad time trying to get tech support when i had a strange issue with the mobile version of Vivaldi. but i fixed it myself and it was probably not their fault since it affected multiple browsers but they were rude and confusing .
Mobile version of Vivaldi is kinda weak in featureset. If you use an addon that allows or cross-browser bookmarks and use a separate password management solution, _and_ don't mind that Russians maintain it, Yandex Browser is great for mobile, since it lets you use Chrome addons you normally would need a desktop browser to use. Unlike the open-source alternative which is Kiwi Browser, extensions which are designed to operate as overlay modals function _exactly like that_ - as overlay modals. Otherwise with Kiwi it opens modals as separate tabs which make using some extensions more painful than it should. Kinda sucks there is a toggle for this in Kiwi so I can forgo trusting the Russians but _whatever_ it's their design choice. I'd explain how to sideload extensions otheriwise labelled as _incompatible_ but trying to do that makes RUclips eat my post. *Go fuq yourself, RUclips.*
@@bluephreakr OK I didn't know yandex browser could do that. but I use kiwi a lot. The only downside is that it doesn't have background playback like brave and Vivaldi. but it's really unfortunate that so few mobile browsers have extentions. fire fox has them but there is not a lot of 3rd party support and they have some minor issues too. and on kiwi the extentions are often glitchy because they were made for a desktop setup. I used the yandex search engine and I have mixed feelings about it. the results are very different from the other search engines and in a good way. a lot of new search engines came out recently. but the results are all similar not always exactly the same. but they priorities certain things. but yandex does annoying things like forcing me to do captchas. and a lot of the results will be in Russian. I have been studying Russian for a few years but I don't think most non Russian speakers will have a fun time using it. so I wonder if their browser is decent. I will check it out but I have low expectations

Yeah it depends what features are important to you. We’re all different. For myself Vivaldi has features, or the best combination of them in one place, that I can’t get on other browsers, so it’s my default. My default browser history has been IE, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi. Firefox was the longest - 10+ years.
Some things I recommend is just poke around, you can take buttons away, add more, create your own theme with a background, custom colors for primary and secondary, you can choose how rounded corners are, access a different search engine from the address bar just by putting an exclamation mark and the letter assigned to that engine before your query. The address bar can go on top or bottom, the tabs can be on top, bottom, left, right, or just disabled, you can choose how the workspaces button looks, or disabled if you don’t like it, oh, my favorite feature is tab stacking, Vivaldi added this many years back before any other browser, and that has three separate options for how it functions. Honestly, I can keep going for a while. Like I said, just poke around, right clicking different buttons, see what shows up. This browser is super powerful and basically the KDE Plasma of browsers, it can do anything at the click of the mouse
I use everything. Google mail is hooked up to Vivaldi, my RSS feeds are there. I use notes and the screenshot tool, the zoom slider is great. Ive customized the icons, added transparency and the enabled the floating option for the panel feature which doesnt movet the underlying website to the side when opening it. I have saved sessions - one is 4 tiled tabs of news aggregators. Its great.
all i can say is, vivaldi is the only web browser so far that makes sense. it's the only web browser that seems to be designed by actual people that actually use web browsers.
The browser is crashing on me (windows 10 pro) at the most inconvenient times.... This is during redirects after writing forms or making a bank payment transaction. I have to fall back to Firefox as Vivaldi proves to be unreliable for me eventhough I really like it after almost 2 decades of Firefox usage.
Great video. Ive been trying to check videos comparing Vivaldi to other browsers but not just in terms of privacy and security. There arent a lot. Im really curioua to see how it stacks up compared to Arc Browser.
Hopefully, the new flatpak doesn't break like the one direct from the repo used to. Ever see a browser that give you the TV white snow effect? I have...👀
Firefox is great but if you boil "the browser argument" down to just which one has best features, and the most features, Vivaldi comes out top every time
I quit Vivaldi because: - It was bloated, and that's coming from someone that used Opera for years. - It was slow. It was slower than any browser I've used, both on Windows and Linux. - It did not acknowledge system theme at all (on Linux), and did not report "system is in dark mode" to websites. I might try it again just for the hell of it, though.
Thank you for sharing. I know what to keep an eye out for now. So far speed hasn't been an issue, at least on my desktop. I haven't tested Vivaldi on the laptop yet so maybe I will have something else to say then. Thank you for watching and taking the time to comment. Hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
Not finding it a problem at the moment on Windows. Though I did do a bit of a cleanup recently and started tweaking stuff more and now it’s fine. I did have an aberrant extension though, so I don’t know whether in reality it was the major culprit.
Well I have mine themed and with Dark Reader. Other than that I don't think I have changed much of anything. Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave a comment!

Been using Vivaldi for years now, few years ago it was a bit buggy but now find it very stable.
It does seem to have improved quite a lot since the last time I was looking at it.

I use i3 also and never notice any issues, what bugs you have?@@rocstar3000

I wouldn’t say that exactly. It’s designed for power users and those who like customisation. But I’m one of them, so I’m happy. 😊
