Vivaldi was started with the promise of giving you a highly customizable, full-featured, innovative browser. It looks like its developers kept their promise - there is no other browser on the market which offers the same amount of options and features. While Vivaldi is built on Chrome's engine, power users are the target user base, like the classic Opera 12 browser. Vivaldi was created by former Opera co-founder and developed keeping in mind Opera's usability and power.

  1. Thanks Sergey for the update and also including snapshot info in the title. You do keep everything in mind. :)

  2. Vivaldi v.2.4.1462.4 (Official Build) (64-bit) running on Windows 10 Pro does not display spinner during the page loading. Checkbox “Favicon Spinner” is checked but with absolutely no reaction – tab icon is stationary.

      1. Found here https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/24371/spinner-favicon-when-a-tab-is-loading/22?page=2 that “Use animation” checkbox must be checked also. After enabling it the spinner works. But such behavior was not obvious for me. Yes, spinner is animated but the connection between these two settings are wierd.
