### "Featured Browser"

April 8, 2022

5.0

I did have a good experience with Vivaldi, but I found it not to be fully compatible with some websites I need to work with. Additionally, I did miss several features included with the Opera browser which are very simple and yet very powerful.

Pros

Endless ways to customize the user interface Strong multi-tabs manager

Cons

Does not have a VPN for free like Opera Does not have Units Converter already integrated Does not have video pop-up

Alternatives considered

Reason for choosing Vivaldi Browser

I did choose Vivaldi because it was created by one of Opera's founders, so I thought I might find many of my favorites Opera features in this powerful browser, but It was not that way, so I went back to Opera Browser.

### "Vivaldi Browser Keeps Getting Better The More You Use It "

August 12, 2023

5.0

I have used the basic features and usually don't change away from Default settings, which are well designed in such a way you really don't need to change things. However the tech geeks love this browser to push it to its limits, and there is a great group of them who provide feedback all the time on the Forum. I sync the desktop and Andtroid browsers, and it has worked tremendous with my workflow. In comparison Brave Browser might be the closest competitor to Vivaldi, and many people say they love Vivaldi more once they use it for a while, and I agree.

Pros

It seems very fast and just works. I have used it as part of my daily workflow online, and usually don't use other browser. I like the sid bar to hold all my social media account, plus it has built in RSS reader and Email Client, Calendar, and Contact list, etc. There are so many features and ways to use it, as they keep tweaking it every day. In fact they have a daily tips blog to tell you about all of them.

Cons

I have used Vivaldi Blog for several years and enjoyed it, however, recently they have overtones of going Woke and thus have pulled away. They generally have been very welcoming to everyone, though the tone on the user forum has changed recently, for one. Although this has no effect on performance, I have my blog there and use their webmail, so don't want add more to what I have if I down the road will have to go elsewhere. I strive to patronize businesses who serve the customer and leave their personal politics to themself.

Honestly, for the most of it, it was a pleasant experience for me.

Pros

My favourite feature of this Browser is the fact that can you just make it your very own, the looks are really unique.

Cons

That it uses way too much resources for my liking, compared to other products this one ain't the most efficient regarding this.

### "Vivaldi, the browser for privacy-conscious users"

August 13, 2021

5.0

Vivaldi has filled all the needs I have when using a browser, the experience of this and others is quickly identified, you notice the improvement in privacy and the dual-screen option is something that should be natively in any browser, I have felt very comfortable with this browser, it is certainly a great and complete alternative.

Pros

Vivaldi is the browser that you need to use if your priority is privacy, this browser has multiple features focused on this, without forgetting other aspects that seek to make it easier to customize the user experience, no doubt this is a very powerful browser.

Cons

Vivaldi becomes very confusing, it is an advanced browser, which sacrifices aspects that we can find in any other browser in order to have more and better privacy, if you want a simple experience, maybe you should think twice about using this browser.

### "A browser that truly increases productivity."

September 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

I like this browser more than many I have used because it makes me do everything quickly. Its speed dial is packed with important sites, which are placed in a beautiful and orderly design, with large and colorful thumbnails. The speed dials can be customized and arranged manually or automatically, according to preferences. It is an app that is designed to help any person work faster and keep track of browsing and work activities. Backward and forward navigation is easy because the arrows are placed within an easy rich at the bottom of the browser. It is more convenient to have the menu at the bottom of the screen.

Cons

Settings are hidden behind the Vivaldi Icon to the right of the search bar. This makes it hard to locate the settings. It would be better to have a real settings icon and to put it on the bottom, for easy identification and proximity to the fingers.

### "Vivaldi internet browsers"

September 20, 2021

5.0

From the great workflows I have, I needed to install more browsers and I started using the Vivaldi browser more to have a second option, when I need it, it plays a lot of video on the notebook. One thing that kept me using Vivaldi was when I discovered that Vivaldi made it possible for us to use Notepad while we were browsing the site.

Pros

The ways of customizing Vivaldi are the best advantage for me, as I like having a browser with my face, when using Vivaldi it allows me to change the theme to a color of my style. I can configure two or more tabs open at the same time by just clicking on the button on the bottom bar of the site.

Cons

The only downside was when I tried to use four open browsers at the same time. Vivaldi was blocking the screen of the platform I had placed to watch the videos, not being able to play the videos at the same speed as other browsers.

### "Happily Switched to Vivaldi"

January 19, 2022

5.0

Overall happy I switched from Google Chrome to Vivaldi. It’s better to customize to my liking

Pros

The bookmarks and downloads feature and how the side tab is laid out. I think there are features I have yet to explore that I need to!

Cons

It was using bing search and I had to attempt to switch it to Google twice.

### "A browser that helps you manage the clutter of multiple tabs"

November 1, 2022

5.0

Pros

My fav feature in Vivaldi is tab stacking. It helps me to keep my important tabs in one tab. Also, it always loads these open tabs whenever I open Vivaldi. Moreover, the color-changing themes are also awesome. I can easily tell which website I am visiting just by looking at the color.

Cons

Though Vivaldi came up with mail and everything I think it still misses a key feature of using a VPN. It will be nice if we could browse individual tabs in a VPN.

### "Consigliato per scoprire un nuovo modo di navigare il web"

August 12, 2021

5.0

Nel complesso, mi trovo molto bene con Vivaldi, e lo uso quando voglio un browser moderno e affidabile, veloce e sicuro.

Pros

Vivaldi ha molte funzionalità e possibilità di personalizzazione. Molto più della maggior parte (forse di tutti) gli altri browser, e molti per elencarli tutti individualmente come professionisti separati. Le schede possono essere raggruppate in un'unica scheda per tenere facilmente traccia di tutte le pagine Web aperte. è pieno di scorciatoie da tastiera personalizzabili (può essere completamente guidato da tastiera) È possibile modificare e aggiungere scorciatoie da tastiera per praticamente tutti i comandi. Ha anche singole scorciatoie da tastiera per eseguire azioni con un clic.

Cons

A differenza di Chrome, non traduce automaticamente le pagine che non sono nella tua lingua, poiché ciò richiede integrazioni di servizi a cui Vivaldi non può permettersi di acquistare l'accesso. Segnalibri sponsorizzati Vivaldi ha una serie di segnalibri preinstallati, come Amazon. In alcune occasioni, sono stati aggiunti nuovi segnalibri durante l'aggiornamento del browser. Tutti questi segnalibri possono essere eliminati, come qualsiasi altro segnalibro.

### "Top browser for privacy"

December 4, 2023

5.0

My main goal was privacy when I installed Vivaldi. It does not disappoint.

Pros

I love that it offers privacy above all things. It's nice to browse knowing I'm not tracked by websites.

Cons

No cons I can think of at the moment, it's a good browser.

### "Great alternative browser"

December 2, 2022

5.0

Pros

Love that it blocks trackers and ads. Makes browsing feel safer. It is easy to use and has a lot of cool features. There are so many ways to customize it and I'm still figuring out what I can do. There is even a Vivaldi game you can play.

Cons

It takes some getting used to since it has some differences to other browsers, however it is easy to use. Just a lot you can do and takes time to learn it all.

### "Most feature rich and customizable web browser on the planet"

September 5, 2021

5.0

Vivaldi browser provides you with features which helps you improve your productivity. Overall a wonderful browser. Provides many unique features not found with other browsers in the market.

Pros

Things that I like most about Vivaldi browser are You can open popups in tab. Schedule time to change your theme. View multiple web pages side by side without any extensions. Privacy focused browser. Integrations for Razer Chroma devices useful for gamers. Also integrates with Philips Hue lighting system. Wonderful tab stacking feature. Execute a group of commands in a sequence with Command Chains.

Cons

Things that I like least about Vivaldi browser are Too many features can create confusion.

### "Great customizable Chrome alternative"

March 21, 2025

5.0

Really good Chrome alternative, better customizability, gestures, and tracker protection.

Pros

Love the insane customizability and especially the mouse gestures, which I use constantly to close tabs. More privacy focused than Chrome, and not as much tracking of all my activity.

Cons

Heavy on memory and laptop battery use. Crashes or freezes sometimes when a tab pops open the "Your changes might not be saved" dialog. Sync between mobile and desktop a bit buggy sometimes.

Chrome is horrible for privacy. Plus Vivaldi has cool features, like gestures.

I use Vivaldi since 5 years and I think it's my most preferred browser

Pros

I think the best feature of this browser is the tab management, you can move it where you want. It's due to the possibility to personalize a lot Vivaldi.

Cons

Sometime the browser cannot work well but it's seems that come from a installation issue. I've see this issue only on one computer

Cons

On my personal computer, I've encounter some issues in the well-functionment of the software.

### "Powerful, feature reach browsing experiance"

April 9, 2022

5.0

I use it every day. Often for finding new leads for our magazine, and for publishing articles online. It is entry gate for our X2 and Vtiger CMS databases. It is safe and well constructed browser.

Pros

There are no browser like Vivaldi browser. It is powerful browsing platform in your computer, even with email integration, of course there are public networks integrations too... and awesom history, bookmark and image/download file management.

Cons

In some situations, Vivaldi has drop of performance. It is not the fastest browser. Brave browser has better anti-add policy, and Tor is better in "masking" your online activities.

Reason for choosing Vivaldi Browser

Vivaldi is the only browser with email integration. Vivaldi is the feature richest browser on market. Vivaldi has update very often and has lively community. For everyday business and private use, Vivladi is the best option.

### "Absolutely a Must in Browsers!"

September 13, 2022

5.0

I used this, as I said, against crashes. Then I found in my deep dives into it that it was loaded with greatness and I use it every day. I also use Chrome but Vivaldi saves me time, angst, and that makes me happy!

Pros

Chrome and Edge both always crash. Well, all browsers do in some fashion but those two, Chrome especially, do each day. Does Vivaldi? Yes, but rarely and for less time. That is teh reason I wanted to use it in the first place, less crashing and having to shut off my PC and start over. That never happens with Vivaldi and all of its features and service -- customer service as well. -- are terrific!

Cons

It is a bit slow to load, it does not just pop up when you clich the icon, but it is okay because after that it is the best!

Switched from

[Microsoft Edge](https://www.capterra.com/p/229037/Microsoft-Edge/)[Google Chrome](https://www.capterra.com/p/228985/Chrome/)

AS I stated before, those two crash every day no matter what you do. Even using OneTab and such. I still use Chrome but just for some things. I have a hard time leaving and Google products at all, I am a huge fan. But Vivaldi does not really crash, so I use them a lot now daily, sometimes for really important functions.

### "Great browser for all kinds of browsing needs"

August 28, 2022

4.0

I have tried a lot of browsers and I can safely say Vivaldi is the best among them. It is lightweight, easy to navigate, and has a clean interface. It comes with a built-in password manager which gives a fast and secure login experience as well. It comes with an excellent tracker and ad blocker which takes my browsing experience a notch higher. Vivaldi used less RAM and thus works fast on my old laptop as well which is truly a blessing in disguise for me. I highly recommend this browser for a great and safe browsing experience.

Pros

Vivaldi Browser is a powerful browser that caters to all sorts of browsing needs. It is a fast, simple, and lightweight browser as compared to its competitors. It lets a user manage tabs and extensions seamlessly right from the settings. Vivaldi Browser comes with a very polished interface and is very simple to use as well. It is easy to create user profiles on Vivaldi Browser and sync the data across various devices.

Cons

It was quite easy to figure out how to use Vivaldi Browser works and I have been using it extensively for daily browsing needs for quite some time now. I haven't faced any major problems while using Vivaldi Browser till now, I am satisfied with it.

### "Still the best browser from the best browser people"

May 26, 2022

5.0

Pros

Polished and highly-customizable web browser with much less of a need for the resource intensive and security-flaw prone extensions made almost absolutely necessary by other browsers, such as Chrome, while still being compatible with virtually all Chrome extensions.

Cons

No mobile version to sync with, although it's in the works.

Switched from

[Opera](https://www.capterra.com/p/229024/Opera/)

Opera took a new direction around version 12 in which it stripped itself of most of the things that made it great. Some, if not most of the original Opera team parted ways and started Vivaldi--the spiritual successor to the old Opera.
