The offer in PC browsers has not stopped growing in recent times, and, contrary to what sometimes happens in other segments, we can say that here most of the new alternatives are at the height of the best. That's why, in this case, we wanted to focus on one that has demonstrated its ability to conquer users, Vivaldi, which has nothing to envy to Chrome, Firefox, and many others.

The first thing to say about Vivaldi is that it is a browser oriented to the needs of those who use it and has a wide variety of customization options, thanks to the work of the former CEO of Opera, another of the best exponents of the segment. We are talking about Jon S. von Tetzchner, who has devoted all his knowledge to providing us with first-class software based on Chromium and others.

Operation

It is not surprising, therefore, that many of the features that we can find in this browser seem to come from Opera itself. Some appear as Quick Commands to access the settings, open tabs, or history in seconds. There is also a Notes system, which will help you better organize your browsing by taking full advantage of tags.

Continuing with the features we already know about Opera, it is also fair to mention some, like Speed Dials , which allows us to use the bookmarks panel to access in just seconds to our favorite sites without having to type the addresses. With Tab Stacks, you can group several tabs in just one, allowing you to open a lot but still find them when needed.

Other than that, the general feeling we get all the time is that this is a clean browser, easy to use, which is not too cumbersome if we are not either, but can adapt to the demands as we force it. The content organization is the one most of us are familiar with; it integrates the navigation bar, tabs, and a central screen, plus the details above.

Suppose you usually work with social networks or visit them constantly during browsing. In that case, you should not lose sight of the Web Panels feature, which generates a small panel apart from the main program to display those contents. We tested it with Facebook and Twitter and found it interesting and valuable. Likewise, it is possible to move the tabs to one side instead of them being on top as usual.

In terms of security, of course, you can delete cookies or passwords you have saved so you don't have to type them manually on each site where you have a profile, something that surely more than one of you will appreciate. Meanwhile, the Adaptive Interface system adapts the browser to the predominant color of the site we visit, generating a well-achieved and more comprehensive visual appearance.

Even if you come from using Chrome or are accustomed to the Google platform, you can add extensions of those to it, assuming a much simpler acclimatization to a new navigation system, something not always immediate.

Keep in mind

Vivaldi's user interface seems to us, decidedly, one of the main reasons we recommend downloading and installing this browser, as it is first superficial but then highly customizable. This versatility, together with the function, allows it to camouflage with the primary colors of the web we have just opened, reason enough to make it stand out from other browsers.

The best

One of this application's main virtues is its ability to serve primary users and others a little more advanced thanks to its customizable appearance and operation. In addition, we can integrate the Chrome extensions, which makes up for certain shortcomings that we could notice in terms of tools.

The Worst

We hardly have criticisms to make to this browser because it meets almost all the points we can get to test it, beyond the fact that it is not the fastest of all known browsers. If you value other issues more than the speed of response, here you have a more than worthy contender to convince you.

Evaluation

In general, we are sure that Vivaldi is at the height of the best navigation programs of today, one with more potential than others, and that, little by little, it is also advancing in its attempt to enter the Android world.
