Vivaldi - anyone else leaving Chrome?

[McShave]

Chrome is far to convenient with it's multi platform sync. Until another browser comes out that I can use on my phone, tablet and PC that can automatically sync everything as well as Chrome I'm not even going to bother trying anything else.

I've gone to far down the rabbit hole.

Left Chrome as soon as Vivaldi hit alpha/beta, love it. Only thing I miss is the Google account sync. Chrome extensions working perfectly in Vivaldi.

I love the ability to group tabs and the general 'feel' of Vivaldi is snappier.

2.) Let me drag tabs out into new windows like I can do in Chrome. I use this often and it sucks it cannot be done.

You can right click on a tab and 'Move to>New Window'. Not as easy but can be done

Currently using a Windows phone, and the browser on it sucks. No chance of Chrome either

Ugh, the last thing the world needs is more browsers.

Indeed, especially Chromium-based ones.

may try this out. never heard of it before.

I've been looking for an alternative to Chrome since I found how much CPU it was using when watching Twitch (a lot). The white line on the right edge when watching content full screen was also annoying.
I've just tried Vivaldi but it makes all websites look a bit fuzzy and out of focus for me. Now that I've got adblocking working in Edge I'm moving to that.

Settings > Bookmarks > untick Bookmarks in New Tab.

Hadn't even heard of this, but I've ended up so heavily embedded in everything google has to offer, that i'm stuck with chrome. Besides, i like the way it works.

How's the security?

 

[RavenXXX2]

Too slow and buggy with chrome extensions.

 

[philip2009]

Trying it now to fix my Chrome flickering issue ... early days but AdBlock and LastPass seem to work as well as an extension I wrote myself.

Missed this but found it on the forums, thanks anyway.

For me its quicker than chrome and so far less buggy.
Lastpass works as expected.

Incorrect assessment my friend. As opposed to more browsers, what the world needs is one browser that's decent. All of the big three are woefully resource hungry, and the minors lack some of the better features of said big three.

Typically I'll be using 11-16GB RAM just for browsers, but I can't honestly say whether that's Chrome-bloat or simply the fact I'm too lazy to close windows.

Thing is, we've been shouting for google and mozilla to do something about the bloat for years. The result?

Er...More bloat, really.
