Vivaldi browser hands on review
- Unlike others this one gives preferences to the color of the websites or favicon and shows it on the tab when its active as shown below
Automatic color on viewing tab
- If you are browsing pages related to say technology you can stack the tabs one above another which helps you to keep your window clean. By hovering the mouse over that single tab you can also see preview of opened ones.
Stacking with preview on mouse hover
- Saving notes with screen-shot of that page as you surf is one other unique feature of newbie in the town and its like one shown below
Taking notes
- By default search engine is set as Google but you can add the ones ( from the drop down list containing Amazon, Wikipedia, DuckDuckGo, eBay, Startpage, WolframpAlpha ) that you wish and set it as a default one.
- Even though it’s created by former opera CEO, it doesn’t run on Presto engine rather its powered by Blink based on Chromium like the new Opera for desktop. In our experience, presto was pretty bad in viewing website on slow mobile network like 2G.
- Speed dial with background images where you can add your favorite websites for quick access.
- Keyboard shortcuts called “Quick Commands” like Ctrl + Q helps you to go through bookmarks, history and list goes, without having a mouse click.
- Content blocker and zoom slider with which you can quickly turn on or off image of any web-page and the font size can also be increased.
- Full screen mode for distraction free reading and can be activated from Windows>Toggle full-screen. For deactivating it just press function key F11.
- A progression bar within the address bar that you may not find in the new ones out there.
- Fast forward and rewind for web pages – A pretty unique feature with which the browser automatically determines most likely next page and if you want to go the root domain or the homepage just hit the the rewind button.
- Auto update is now available as a test for the systems running on Windows 32-bit
- Private browsing is now available by going to File → New Private Window
Something we didn’t like
- Like turbo or off road mode which enables anyone to save data, Vivaldi doesn’t seem to have one as we tested this website in both the browsers.
- You can’t move tab opened in one window to another.
- When minimized this browser always showed its name in taskbar rather than showing up the name of that open page.
- Operation was not smooth on our test
What’s more?
There is a dedicated community website where you can share and store photos like a cloud space, start a blog, chat with friends and an ad free mails.
Note : Opera had it by the name ” My Opera ” and was closed on March 3, 2014.
Features that you can expect in future from the developer
- Mobile browser
- Cross sync
- Extensions to simplify various tasks
Other info
Vivaldi is started by former CEO and co-founder of Opera, Jon von Tetzchner with his team of 25 working from different countries and most of them are ex-opera.
“we feel that there is a need for a more powerful browser for people who want more from their browser” and that “most browsers in the market today are offering similar, non differentiated [and are] relatively simple.” Answer by Tatsuki on thenextweb for question on why there is a need for new browser ?
