Vivaldi is a great browser with few downsides. It features impressive customization and access to Chrome’s vast library of extensions while also being fast and light on RAM consumption compared to other browsers. It includes quite a few handy features, too, such as notes, tab stacking and tiling and the ability to permanently pin websites to the sidebar.
When it comes to security and privacy, Vivaldi again receives top marks. It updates frequently and does a good job blocking malicious websites. It also collects little data on you as a user and presents a clear overview of which third-party services you need to disable if you want to maximize your privacy.
The only drawback to the browser is its lack of an iOS version. The developers have stated this is something they’re working on, but due to Apple’s stringent requirements for browsers on the platform, it will take some time to be released.
