I tried Vivaldi last week. Didn't like it. Cluttered UI.

I did try Brave though and that was good.

But lacking at least one feature which I have become used to in Firefox.

That is the 4 green ticks on this security check.

I do believe that no browser except for Firefox can get 4 green ticks currently.

Surprised you find it cluttered considering you can add/remove stuff and move things around, I don't like Firefox (I was a pre Quantum Firefox fan btw) ,my mum(in her late 70s) uses it on her laptop, but on some sites it refuses to scroll properly ie goes into a loop cycle where you can't get to bottom of the page, this is with no add on or extensions, the laptop does not have that issue with Edge or any other browser on her laptop.

Anyway I think Vivaldi is great, never crashes and never had any real security issues

.

Side Note: I wonder how many Firefox users left once the official first Quantum build came out? I know I'm one .

Btw I did not like Brave, too basic for my needs.

Yeah Vivaldi is great. The only issue I have right now is that the Google Keep extension doesn't sign in for me, but that's less of an issue now that Vivaldi has it's own note making feature which syncs between devices.

Other than that, it's the best browser out there in my opinion. Also coming from a former Firefox user, though one which largely moved to Chrome several years ago.
