How Vivaldi browser is different from Google Chrome

I interned at a company which makes Chromium mods tailored for a specific market (not Vivaldi), so AMA.

In short what we did is pretty much the same thing as other Chromium mods: take the Chromium source and add a bunch of features on top of it. Some features that I could remember:

* English dictionary / translator (our market's native language is not English)

* Video downloader (includes Youtube)

* Torrent client

* Multithreaded downloading

* Facebook unblocker. The company operates a bunch of proxy servers, and the browser can be remotely configured to proxy certain sites through those servers. Handy when the government decides to block Facebook/Medium/...

* PIP video before Chrome has one

* Sidebar

Cool, I've used torch for quite some time ;) Was (probably is) a nice tool for downloading videos without youtube_dl.

Not Torch, but from their website we do share some features.
