If you are fascinated by colors, Vivaldi is for you! Based on Chrome engine, Vivaldi has core focus on design and UI. It is probably the best browser with endless customization possibilities.
Vivaldi is a mixture of Opera and Chrome. Fetching goodness of both, it fulfills the needs of everyday browsing pretty nicely.
However, it is not a mature browser yet. Sometimes if annoys with old Opera like features. But these features are said to be presented on public demand. So you can be lucky if you find your desired customization and features.
Vivaldi is a treasure to a new world of web browsers. It makes you feel pleasant and happy with its surprising features.
I have tried to use Vivaldi as main browser, but it lacks some features and sometimes annoys with “over customization”. It is sad to mention that Vivaldi is mad about customization, it tries to look different than other browsers; even by choosing wrong track. Just like Firefox, who flaunts about privacy, privacy and privacy all times but does not care what the hell users want in a browser of their dreams.
However, Vivaldi is pleasant to use and a fun companion. It has a huge number of fans who like this browser for its customization and other useful tools.
