@jamescv7 this new version loads a lot faster. And the stable version is coming soon.

 

[silversurfer]

I think the first Vivaldi start is always slower. the overall performance is very fast and without crashes

 

[safe1st]

This awesome. I like the window bar colour is changed when you go to certain website. Like google is green and MalwareTips is blue

 

[frogboy]

Agreed 100% it is going to be a great browser.

 

[jamescv7]

@frogboy: Well I can see the potential browser for Vivaldi considering the engine they use, if I have a good connection then another test but from now I've suffer limited data cap plan.

What do you mean by limited data plan & Vivaldi?

 

[jamescv7]

@yesnoo: Just edited my previous post in order to clarify it, anyway Vivaldi is good but concern on execution of browser that pertains to be slow perhaps due to default theme base. (Another test by likely 2 or 3 weeks from now)

Limited data plan as my internet connection is 1MBPS so the installer of Vivaldi is around 30 MB (likely huge in my view) and my allowance is 1GB per day. (If exceed then my speed of internet will reduced by 40% = slower DSL connection).

I think the stable build still will take some months for the devs to make. However they said that in one of the folowing weeks they are going to release a new beta, which is of course more stable than the snapshots. The latest snapshot is also much better and faster than the previous one so they are definitely going into the right direction!

 

[JakeXPMan]

I been using Vivaldi from time to time for a year lol (the 2 betas so far), and no noticable bug happened to me. The only thing I didn't like is its updater, it installed Vivaldi twice instead of installing over and ridding of the old files.

Midori browser on the other hand crashed more times then a girl on a texting frenzy...
