Test driving Vivaldi, the alternative web browser

Conclusion

Generally speaking, Vivaldi looks and feels great. Among its haves, I count the extensive number of possibilities for making modifications, the potential for accelerated work speed using gestures and keyboard control, the notes, and the convenient web panels.

The browser disappoints however on the video front. The software refuses to work even with big players like Instagram, Amazon Prime, Netflix, and Dailymotion. Clips from other services like YouTube and Facebook work flawlessly. Another shortcoming involves the missing functionality for synchronization and profile administration.

Having said that, the sheer volume of features has earned Vivaldi so many points with me that it is time to relieve Firefox from its duty as my default browser.
