I have been using Vivaldi since it was an alpha build. It is the best browser hands down IMO. I have been here for the entire ride. I am so glad to see that there is not AI bundled in this release, which has been a major concern for me when anticipating future releases of this browser.

I hope they keep it up.

Vivaldi is the only browser I feel actually has features. Built-in RSS client, mail client, vertical tabs, workspaces, notes, saved sessions, tab groups, side by side tabs, profiles, etc.

To put more simply, just look at how many preferences its preference dialog has compared to other browsers. It feels like nobody else is even doing anything except coming up with a new CSS property nobody is going to use every 3 months.

Everyone says they love Firefox, but every time Firefox adds a new feature it's a feature Vivaldi already had for years.

Does it have a torrent client like Opera did? I really miss that browser

Unfortunately that is one feature they haven't added back. That died with Opera 10 (or 11? idr)

Totally agree. It is the best browser across all platforms of mobile and desktop for me. I read on here all the excuses others make for not using Vivaldi but they don't pass the smell test for me. Long may Vivaldi prosper.

Being closed source doesn't pass the smell test?

The Vivaldi team have a long history of closed source browser development. I mean I was using Opera almost 30 years ago so I don't have any concerns about it being closed source. But you do you.

That makes it worse, not better.

Not everything needs to be open source.

Disagree.
