I assume you mean its note feature, which I know exists but has never once been used by me nor has it ever gotten in my way. I have them side by side and the difference is barely noticeable. It looks almost exactly like Chrome to me. I've been using it as a daily driver for two years and don't understand what you're talking about. It shows e2e as being enabled for me, but it looks like it isn't always (possibly only newer versions of Vivaldi support e2e and they need some kind of backward compat.) The internals UI also gives some nice data for the curious. It prompts me to use macOS keychain for sync encryption, as Chrome does, so this seems to strongly imply e2e. > I've found nothing about how their sync protocol worksĪs far as I've seen they haven't released the source of their sync server or protocol, but the mechanism seems similar enough to Chrome that they've likely stuck to using a similar protocol, just with their own server endpoint(s). Curious to see how they get on with this. being a bigger challenge for Vivaldi though since they have less control over the Chromium foundations. I use Firefox as my daily driver today, but I was an Opera 12 user: the UI was bloated-by-default out of the box but the two important caveats were: (1) 100% customisability allowing you to streamline it easily, and (2) bloat never impacted performance at all (in fact Opera was the most performant browser back then for heavy tab use, even while the integrated mail client was indexing hundreds of incoming mails). If you haven't tried the latest snapshots you're in for a treat: the UI now bundles a full calendar and mail client :D If you didn't like Opera 12, you likely won't. If you liked Opera 12, you'll like their "bloated / OS-replacement" (also highly customisable, almost everything is removable) UI approach. Vivaldi was created by the Opera founders, is made up of ex-Opera staff, and has the goal of recreating an Opera 12-esque browser experience on top of the Chromium engine. This is basically the old Opera approach. > you get an absolutely bloated interface (or should I say OS-replacement?) I used to use Firefox on desktop (prior to and after the Quantum update) but WebGPU was just way to slow for me and I switched to a Chromium-based application. I'm not a fan of syncing, so that doesn't matter to me. Ungoogled Chromium is great because it accomplishes all that Vivaldi does, except syncing, all the while keeping the nice UI of Chrome. Sure it has it's fair share of issues, but it "works" to a degree and maybe it'll chug along enough to finally be used by 2022.Ĭurrently I'm using Ungoogled Chromium on Windows and Bromite on Android, but the latter will eventually be replaced with the former when I end up building Ungoogled Chromium TriChrome (it's a build mechanism for Android 10 and above to have a shared library package, as well as a WebView and browser package separately for Android). These false blanket statements aren't convincing me to use Vivaldi at all. Servo is new, which is where Mozilla are picking their changes to Gecko/Quantum from. If you look closely, you’ll notice that no-one has built a new engine from scratch in 20 years.
