Vivaldi browsers adds synchronisation and speed in the upgrade to version 2.0 | ZDNetVivaldi, the web browser for power users, has moved to the 2.0 level with a faster, sleeker version that now includes synchronisation between computers.

Vivaldi's massive update brings tab management and a refreshed UI to its privacy-focused browserVivaldi browser - a brainchild of Opera's co-founder Jon von Tetzchner - has launched its first major upgrade since its initial release in 2016.

A Year Ago I Ditched Chrome For Vivaldi and Never Looked BackGoogle's Chrome is the world's most popular web browser, but that doesn't mean it's the best. At ten years old, Chrome has picked up some bad habits like hogging RAM or logging in users without their permission. But in the face of Chrome's hegemonic presence, the field of competitors has gotten leaner, faster, and more interesting.

Vivaldi 2.0 browser is even more customizable, plus it now syncs across computersIf you want to step back from Chrome, the Vivaldi alternative browser just grew up a notch with the addition of cross-computer sync and other improvements in version 2.0. Vivaldi, with about 1 million people using it each month, doesn't have anything like the visibility or clout of Google's Chrome, Mozilla's Firefox or Apple's Safari.

Pros:
Customization, Secure, Sync, Not Chrome!
Cons:
Bookmarks in the bookmarks bar lacks right-click options; No mobile version (but this too will change!)
Despite the few cons, Vivaldi has proven to be the most reliable, innovative and forward thinking browser I've ever used. The development team is top notch; they actually listen to their users, and implement features based on user priority rather than their own opinion of what's important.
Trying a new browser is always a little scary, but Vivaldi eases your fears quickly. it is well worth giving it a try.

Pros:
Fast, Lightweight, User Friendly
Cons:
None that I can find.
Vivaldi is light, fast, customizable and user friendly. V may still be under construction but in many ways outperforms other browsers. Once other corporate driven browsers see what Vivaldi can do. They want to do it too. Only to find Vivaldi does it better. Most people think Vivaldi is just "for power users". They are wrong. Vivaldi is for anyone from newbie to the expert power user.
I recommend anyone to download. Install. Poke around the settings and the rest of the GUI to find out how a powerful browser can be so user friendly. Perfect for everyone.
Yeah, I found my browser. It's Vivaldi.

@jonsvt @jonmccull Great update! I remember using it in its early days and oh boy! It has dramatically changed now. The only thing missing, so far, is the ability to individually keep certain cookies. I like to keep my cookie setting "session only" but for some cookies, like product hunt, I'd rather want the browser keep the cookie :) Other than that, I'm already planning to make it the default browser

@thatakke Nice, thanks for checking it out @thatakke! We do have a few ideas in the works on cookie management that would also address tracker issues. Feel free to have a look in the Feature Requests area too to check out the suggestions on this front that we're looking at: https://forum.vivaldi.net/catego...

@jonmccull I've been using Vivaldi for two years now and must say I really love it. I first switched when I heard that the previous Opera team founded it, and of course Tab Stacking!!!! Obviously Chrome extensions are a plus and this new account synching will help me sync my settings across devices. Thanks so much for a great browser. I honestly don't know what I would do without it!

@asherraph Brilliant, thanks so much for checking it out and coming along for the ride! I think a lot of people have been with us since 1.0 (or even the Technical Previews) – great to have such long term, passionate users helping guide the way. 👍
