When you first fire up Vivaldi, it appears like any other web browser. What’s better than one row of tabs? Two rows Vivaldi strikes a balance between putting the features you need front and center and hiding the rest inside optional sidebars and menus. What’s more impressive is that it doesn’t make for an overwhelming first-time experience, or require a crash course to learn. Even after a week of use, I’m still discovering new functions every day. It offers the most versatile set of tools and options to fine-tune how the browser works and looks. Vivaldi’s biggest strength is that it’s a browser you can make your own. And it turns out, it might be the Chromium browser to beat now that Edge is out of the picture. Of late, however, Vivaldi’s on an update spree that added a series of functions compelling me to give it a shot. Vivaldi has always been the underdog and an offbeat alternative to more popular options like Brave and Edge.
