Vivaldi has improved a lot in version 5. Previously almost everything about this browser was slow, but now it's better. Though not good enough IMO.
It's still sluggish compared to Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Opera, Brave. There's still lag in the UI and many things are not responsive at all.
If we talk about benchmarks then in Jetstream2 on my system it gets significantly lower score than Chrome (1st) and Edge (2nd). Even a lot lower than Firefox, which is a different engine and always gets lower score in this benchmark.
 

How to use Vivaldi's Reading List on Android

Here's how it works on mobile devices. To add a page to the reading list on your phone, visit the article that you want to save, and tap on the Vivaldi icon to view the app's menu. You can access the Reading List from this drop-down panel. Tap on the "Add Current Page" button to save it to your Vivaldi Reading List.

How to use Vivaldi's Reading List on Android


Just like its desktop counterpart, the mobile version lists the titles of your saved pages along with the favicon of the site. Selecting a saved article from the list will open the corresponding page in the app. When a page is accessed, the browser will automatically mark the item as Read.

For reference, the links that appear blurry (grayed-out) in the Reading List panel indicate those that you are done with, these are listed in the Read Articles section, at the bottom. Your Unread pages will remain highlighted at the top of the list. You can manage the read status of the articles manually too, which can be helpful if you want to mark a page as unread or vice-versa. Tap the three-dot menu icon next to a saved item to mark the article as read, or if you no longer need it, you can choose to delete it from the list. You may select multiple items in the list and manage them at the same time.

Vivaldi's Reading List feature is now available in the latest snapshot for Android devices

a very nice browser I have been using for some time personally.
with each update it introduces something new and on the positive side, it gets better in terms of security and visually it is fast, so far there are no problems with it.
it is worth taking advantage of.

Minor update for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 5.3​

This update includes a fix crash on startup that some users encountered.

This is a soft update. This means that autoupdate is currently disabled (also for those users still running Vivaldi 5.2) and the new version must be downloaded manually. This has been done because while the listed fix resolves the issue for most people, some may still encounter a related crash. We are currently working on a fix for the follow up crash and will re-enable autoupdates when we have suitable builds. Feel free to wait for that if you prefer.

The following improvements were made since the initial 5.3 stable release:
  • [Crash] On startup for some users (VB-89577)
 

Minor update (2) for Vivaldi Desktop Browser 5.3​

This update includes a fix crash on startup that some users encountered which is related to search engine migration and deletion.

Autoupdate is temporarily disabled (also for those users still running Vivaldi 5.2). Once autoupdate is re-enabled, this message will be removed. If you do not wish to wait, please download and update manually in the interim.

The following improvements were made since the first 5.3 minor update:
  • [Crash] On startup related to search engine migration and deletion (VB-89611)
