Vivaldi: Your Next Web Browser...?

As you all know in recent years we have seen that the WebKit engine is growing more and more popular day by day, Mozilla Firefox is changing at a much greater pace than it once did, and the once undisputed king, Microsoft Internet Explorer, does not dominate user share as it once did.

Vivaldi is an ambitious newcomer, and we’re going to find out if it’s one worth watching.

Vivaldi’s default home page is like the homepage of many other popular modern browsers, its a Speed Dial page. Adding new entries is straightforward, being done through the large ‘+’ icon. While most browsers now integrate something similar, Vivaldi is one of few to integrate bookmarks and history.

Vivaldi doesn’t feel massively different from other browsers, at least in regards to overall usability. It’s comparable to Chrome and Safari, given that it uses the WebKit engine. As a result, performance is essentially on a par with the other main browsers, but it’s the little details that make Vivaldi seem so promising.Vivaldi is still in development and won’t be totally perfect for some time, but even the current developmental builds have been stable in our testing. If you’ve ever expressed longing for the old Opera functionality, Vivaldi has soundly bested its competitors in bringing it back – and done so with support for Windows, Mac and Linux alike. If not, it still remains a well thought-out browser worthy of some attention.

One of the best features this new browser has is that you can change the appearance of webpages by applying filters to them:
