The article is kinda racist.

We do jaywalk all the time and not everyone as direct as described in the article. "Love of order" has long been lost. Half of Europe is more orderly than Germany.

I laughed especially hard at this: "It is more important to a German to be honest than liked, honest than professionally successful, honest than rich."

You're living 50 years in the past. Modern Germany has adapted to the American life style and the article is a collection of stereotypes.

They're using Webkit, yes, but I guess it's highly customized. The performance is so much worse than Chrome and FF

It's even possible to create pages in a way that reproducibly freezes and crashes Vivaldi. Their rendering process handles pages with many elements and multimedia objects very poorly.

I switched from Chrome to Vivaldi and back to FF for two reasons:

1) Vivaldi rendering performance is the worst I've ever seen in a browser. No idea how they managed that using webkit, but some sites would make tabs crash on a high end system.

2) The web developer tools are unusable due to bugs.

3) Fixing simple but impactful bugs takes too long.

I really like their useful and plenty settings for everything, but 1) and 2) make it a no go for me.
