Vivaldi – A Browser for Our Friends

Re:Vivaldi – A Browser for Our Friends by npace12 on Thursday January 05, 2017 @08:57PM (#13333299)

As a web developer using chrome and emacs all day, I was very skeptical. Decided to give it a try and looks really good so far. It's got a lot of the good chrome stuff and so far I haven't found absolutely anything I miss.

So far I really like:

- Ctrl-P-like tab switcher / command thingy

- fast (but that may be just how different new browsers always feel like at first)

- the web page size indicator on the address bar

- tabs can be configured to be wherever the hell i want them

- the regular, good chrome debugger

- can run chrome extensions straight from the store

I don't know who the devs are and how long this browser will be around for, but it's seriously well done!

Set as default.

Thank you for your kind words about Vivaldi.

I was the co-founder of Opera and now co-founder of Vivaldi. A big part of the team is former Opera people. We are based in Norway and Iceland, mostly, with team members in a couple of other locations.

Thank you for the Opera, it was my primary browser for a number of years. And good luck to you with your new endeavor, you certainly have some right ideas in Vivaldi :)

I know it's a lot to ask, but is there any timeline for the release of the mail client?

And a separate question, would it be possible to include a light calendar app in it? (ICS)
