While Chrome, Edge, and others race to add AI features, alternative browser Vivaldi has other plans. Its leader says users overwhelmingly feel the same about AI: “Hell no!”
while i don’t use them as my main browser it feels vivaldi is one of the few ones who at least tries something new. who isn’t just trying to emulate chrome with a few quality of life ones. i remember them introducing tiled tabs, stacked tabs, the tab bar on the sides or the bottom, way before i’ve seen any other browser do that? might not have been the first with all of those but at least firefox, chrome and edge didn’t have that as an option back then
That’s why I still use them as my main. I can’t close tabs, so between their workspaces with tiled tabs and tab memory management not keeping 200 processes open (I know!) it’s been amazing for me. My only reservation is it being chromium.
I’ve also been on Vivaldi since right around the start. I’d just wish they would fix their address bar suggestions to actually work. It isn’t great to start, and then decides to completely break every few months and do stuff like when I type “you” to go to youtube it insists on autofilling to a specific video I watched months ago. The only fix I’ve found is to nuke the profile and start over.
I’ve switched to Zen on my computer a couple months ago exclusively because of that issue.
I might give them the benefit of the doubt and try them again ('t has been years since)

Tab management on Vivaldi is second to none. I pray every day that they swap to a Firefox backend one day, would be the best browser by a mile

On PC I’ve used them pretty much since the start and I have very little to complain about.
On mobile (iOS) I tried a few times but it’s unbearably slow.
