Hey guys have you heard about the Vivaldi browser <https://vivaldi.com/>? By searching here I only found a handful of fleeting mentions in the forum, mostly amidst troubleshooting posts, so I thought i'd make a more formal introduction.
Please forgive the shameless publicity (I am not affiliated with them in anyway, just a happy user); but being a Web Browser specifically targeted for power users I though it might please some of the folks here, since it seems to stand for some of the same principles TiddlyWiki does (like flexibility, privacy, configurability). <https://thenextweb.com/wp-content/blogs.dir/1/files/2015/01/vivaldi.gif> It was created as a followup to the late "classic" Opera Browser 12 <https://vivaldi.com/story/>, by a team of some of the same developers <https://vivaldi.com/team/>. It is still in its infancy, occasional bugs, some rough edges here and there, but overall a great browser. It is a Blink rendering engine based browser, using the Chromium base, it supports lost of the official Chrome extensions, and adds a layer of new features on top of that, with a beautifully designed UI to go along with it. Some of the features that standout to me the most are: - Tileable tabs, side-by-side or vertically - Sidebar with tools and custom web-panels - Builtin mouse-gestures - Bookmark aliases or nicknames - Tab stacking - Customizable keyboard shortcuts - Builtin screenshot tool - And a lot more <https://vivaldi.com/features/> i'm particularly fond of tileable tabs, which allows me to easily compare between to pages, and the web panels where I like to keep an always open, easily accessible personal Notes TiddlyWiki file. Very convenient as a note taking tool. A new fantastic History <https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/a-historic-snapshot-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1-8-770-9/> page is coming in the development snapshots too. Why am I posting this here? Well seeing it is a free browser and money is made primarily from user searches I though I'd try and gather a few more users for them. More users means more money, more money means more developers which leads to a better browser which I happen to love. In a land where the late trend is for minimal featureless striped down browsers, where more and more people flock to mobile devices, I though that this Vivaldi stood out in a positive way and might please the "power users" and more technically savvy people here since some of its features pair well with TiddlyWiki. If you find this inappropriate feel free to close/block/ignore the thread, no harm intended :) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "TiddlyWiki" group.
