Couple tips for Vivaldi : - Run it with -force-dark-mode to have dark context menus on right click and a dark devtools. - Use F2 for a quick command menu. - Enable the Native Window option, as it removes the minimize, maximize and close buttons, so that you have more space for tabs. - I personally bound certain mouse gestures to show and hide the bookmarks bar, address bar, and the whole entire UI ("Toggle UI" in the settings), so that the whole browser window has only the website, without any UI. It's great if you're doing some work and don't want to be distracted by opened tabs. - Log in to Vivaldi Sync to sync up your settings and bookmarks, very useful when switching environments.

@@smusic9250 Well if you're running it from the command line, you can just do this command - "vivaldi -force-dark-mode". If you're running it through a shortcut, on Linux that'll be a .desktop file, so you just edit the shortcut to not start up just "vivaldi", but "vivaldi -force-dark-mode". It should work the same way on Windows, you just put that argument after the .exe call in the options of that shortcut.

I really don't understand your tab obsession. I understand the problem you are trying to solve, but I think tabs are the wrong solution. What I think you really need is a better bookmark workflow. Tabs are inefficient because they take up considerable memory, fork new processes and are tied to browser sessions. A bookmark is 100% dormant, but can be invoked nearly instantly since the browser caches website data. Additionally, more browser tabs will refresh after you've been away for a while so there's not much of an argument for efficiency and they probably are doing bad things in the background. Firefox already has incredible functionality for managing bookmarks, and they can behave a lot like workspaces. I personally just create a set of folders in my bookmark bar that represent the task based workspaces I'm currently engaged in. When I have a lot going on, I open the (Firefox) Library Window in my tiling wm and can manage my tasks and subsequent "tabs" directly there. It's 100% better than trying to manage this via janky tab extensions which is tied to the browser session, uses up tons of resources, terrible ui, etc. The added benefit is that these are bookmarks and won't go away if the browser session is nuked. You can level all of this up with keyboard shortcuts and tags to create a super efficient, fast workflow. I would not switch to Vivaldi to solve this problem.

The Linux Cast: I have a certain problem with browsers that try to be all that! It seems like browsers are trying to become an entire operating system instead of a browser. For example: Workspaces are supposed to be on your operating system NOT on your browser. The screenshot tool is supposed to be on your operating system NOT on your browser. They should make the browser look gorgeous in the first place so doing any theme or icon tweaking would hardly be necessary. Adding all these useless things just winds up sucking up all your RAM and before you know it your browser is crashing or your screen is freezing. You remind me of my colleague. He would say; "I'm not going to use it! It's not open source!" I would say; "I am going to use whatever it takes to make my life more pleasant and comfortable and get more things done quicker." So what I'm saying here is you're way too hung up about open source. You don't need to apologize. It's your life no one else's.

@@ultravioletiris6241 I can only speak to my Firefox workflow, but it's really nothing special. I generally have 3-5 "dynamic" folders going in my bookmark bar. I prepend an underscore to identify them as such... so _TW represents all of my "To Watch" videos. So when I'm browsing youtube and want to watch something, but it may be too long to invest the time in right away, I drop the tab into that folder. Later, when I have some extra time, I open that folder and pick something to watch. When I'm done, I delete the bookmark. I do the same for reference material that I'm currently engaged with. I also do this for tutorials I'm currently going through. I'm teaching my son Biology and I have a dynamic folder for that material as well. Finally, I have another workflow for KZitem and "news" based websites.... I use Newsboat to follow youtube channels that release tons of content. I can stream the videos via mplayer directly from Newsboats. So I pretty much only watch news videos and sports highlights from Newsboat. This ensures my browser never gets crowded with that stuff. I also subscribe to subreddits in Newsboat, so I keep up on that stuff outside of Reddit (and a subsequent browser tab).

Aye, I knew you would come around eventually. ;) TIP: Enable "Native Window" in Vivaldi Settings to rid the client-side buttons In all seriousness, at first I kinda felt Workspaces was meh, but once I realised I have some cases where it's really useful to just have them exist (aka College's Office tabs)... yeah, it's actually a decent feature. Would be nice to be able to hide its label on the tab bar, but eh, that's likely coming later. Also it's only a matter of time now until someone ports Firefox's icon sets to Vivaldi, I suppose, heh.

9:19 That's me, I use Opera and I'm watching this video on Opera right now B). But I wouldn't consider it my main browser, I use it basically as KZitem client, and I use it for Google account related stuff too, because I'm already logged to it here, and I'm not logged on my main browser, although I sometimes use Opera for normal web browsing if it's quicker, for example if I'm watching a video and I want to look up something mentioned in it. Idea of Opera as YT client for me is mainly a leftover from my old PC, where browsers often couldn't handle amount of tabs I opened, so I decided to have YT in different browser so music won't stop if my main browser crashed and the other way around. Soon I will be installing new drive and hopelly switching to Linux full time (second or third attempt, now it should work), when it happens I plan to not use Chromium based browsers at all, I will use Minitube or some different KZitem client instead of Opera, my secondary browser will be Epiphany or something else webkit based and my main browser will be still Firefox, which I use since 2009, when my dad installed it on our old Windows Vista-running home PC to replace Internet Explorer, I have used Firefox ever since and I'm satisfied with it. Too bad Opera ditched their Presto engine.

I love Vivaldi and was excited about the workspaces feature. But, I found two things that made it not as ideal as it could be for my use case. One is that it doesn't sync so you would have to do it across all computers that you use Vivaldi on and two is closing out and going back in, it didn't seem to remember the tabs that I had open in the workspaces. I was trying to use it like I currently do Sidekick as a potential replacement, but because it wouldn't remember in between boots, it just doesn't work for me. And yes I turned on the option to remember the tabs, it remembers the rest of them but not within the workspaces. So maybe its just me or a bug. Great video, bro.

If you're referring to the user agent mimicking Chrome's when you say "browser string", you can blame Google for that. Originally Vivaldi had a custom agent, but due to Google's anti-competition user agent checks, it was turned into a whitelist of websites only being able to identify the browser as Vivaldi. Though, it appears 6.0 has added a settings section for browser identification mimicking 'for debugging purposes'? Might be something of note.

This is long but... DUDE! He basically has a desktop environment inside a desktop environment! Like Why doesn't, I don't know, the KDE team learn from the Vivaldi team learn from KDE? Like just imagine that? It would be a creative monstrosity at first I bet. Maybe imagine a day when we could have a DE that has two modes, online/offline, all your apps work on both, and you can just toggle it. Just like a browser. The tabs are files. The extensions are your system wide programs. With JavaScript now, websites are isolate container programs, and we ALL love them (reason why I think containers are the future). Just please, Vivaldi, go open source. TL;DR Vivaldi is the future. But then, on the other hand I feel like all of this excitement is happening *because* it is NOT open source. No one wants to work on graphical pieces of software only used by developers! But they do, that's what KDE, GNOME, etc, are. Firefox could truly shine with community. I don't know enough CSS, but look at how many web devs there are! Web developers could transform Firefox and lead it to a growth in popularity following what was the unexpectedly incredible growth of Thunderbird! Like, Imagine if after all the bad stuff that's happening to Google right now (Google Classroom, AI Wars, Google Docs, Google itself iwth Bing happening) then effing Firefox pulled a fast one by improving the UI to be phenomenal. We could have a new resurgence (or however you spell that) of Firefox and Thunderbird! The new gods of an era. One can dream... Also, if all of us had the patience, time, and curiosity to take on the challenge of learning all of these technologies that required months if not months to learn and train... to have my `spotifyd` service crash because of this I think DWM I had---After a suspend it would break for some reason I didn't want to actually work on, but one day I was tired and then I learned a bunch of of things about BMW and the theming stuff I was using. Just I just like how it works. Not how it operates. You get the point. Why don't we just do the same with Firefox? It's customizable with CSS, and websites have CRAZY layouts. Like. Imagine if your ACTUAL desktop environment looked (not performed cuz performance is a different story) the same way that some of these websites can. Maybe Chrome OS was not such a bad idea after all... lol. Oh my god. As always Gentoo is not the solution... But the problem. lmfaooo I'm rolling on the floor. ChromeOS is *locked in* into chromebooks. Except they're not because of Chromium OS. But that doesn't matter right now. Ok. Let's say, we make a distro where the CSS engine was the desktop environment? If that's not performant enough, then as long as long as it works similarly enough, people will adopt it. People kept up with browser specific CSS properties for years without complaining, to the point I have to put PostCSS on my resume (PostCSS is much more than just used for this, but you get the point). KDE, XFCE, GNOME! i3, Awesome, and others! You are doomed to fail. Qt? You are also doomed. Android and iOS? Doomed. The web will dominate because it already does. CSS will dominate entirely; JavaScript will dominate not only dominate half. Android apps are built with Java, now Kotlin. Horrible experience. So in came "React inspired" developers (they're like meerkats) and improved the whole developer experience for everyone! Except performance. So take out JavaScript, great now you're dealing pieces that don't fit together, and you hate this world, and whoever came up with React! Ah! Facebook? Makes sense. So in comes Flutter. The only viable option for many. Performant enough, but also, not performant to know you can always do better. And that's a sad future. Also Google's current motto. I retract my TL;DR. CSS is the future. Everyone hates it because this, or that. People came up with Tailwind CSS only not to write it. Haha. But let's be real. It's SUPER powerful. And now with the parent and logical selectors?? And the layers?? Jezzus Quaks! It's some impresso stuff. Remember Rust? It came from the Firefox CSS engine. CSS is the future. We need a new Desktop Environment for Linux, and it needs to replicate an OS, and it needs to replicate a browser. It needs an ON OFF online mode PER application window. Each application can choose how they want their default state to look like. It needs to be enough to satisfy those who don't know anything about computers, but also enough that those that want newer stuff don't have to install a whole new package manager. I'm guilty of distro hopping just because of the package manager r/pcmasterrace. But right now that would go to RHEL. Their package manager is just perfect, not having to Frankenstein your packages to get an update like in Debian, and not wishing you did a push-up every time your packages broke like with Arch (that would probably work, let me know if you try it). The only problem is that right now they only care about themselves because they're tired of other people taking their work for free because they need to earn enough to pay their employees. Not that I support them, I support the linux philosophy, but I can understand. I suppose we could talk about NixOS also though, immutable systems have a TON of advantages that the average user would get to enjoy by not noticing many of these problems. It's too hard though. I actually do think Portage (Gentoo lol) has the best package manager, but I think the compile-everything-yourself-thing is just plain wrong for the average user. The day Gentoo starts providing binaries for 2 or 3 most of the most common architectures for the average user, I swear to god, even if I don't believe in him, that they will dominate Linux. The only problem is that they are too Meta for that. Philosophy. Money too though. It would be heinous to package binaries in Gentoo! Until Firefox takes a literal day to compile on my old brick, then :shruggie: everything is fine and dandy. In fact, we want some more AppImages! I'm sorry, I see these thing and I get temped. I don't eamn to offend anyone, just trying to be as unbiast as possible. I think. Anyways. I'm leaving this here instead of deleting it even though it's too long as breadcrumbs. Cuz I don't know if I have the patience, time, and effort to put into a project like this desktop environment I'm talking about. But I'm hoping someone will find it and make my new dream come true. Lol. Sweet dreams. Just a spoonful of sugar does indeed help the medicine go down.

I think the reason why it isn't open source is they make their living with it and don't want it to be a complete clusterfuck. And that's why it's my favorite browser.

I've been using Vivaldi as my main browser for a couple of years now after first coming across it about 5 or so years ago. Every single time I move away from Vivaldi I find that I come back to it really quickly. One feature of the browser I use quite often (for my work) is the inbuilt notes app. I find that super useful when doing development tasks in browser, and just having that open on the side is such a huge convenience

Firefox has multi-containers extension for compartmentalization. Also they have this other extension, 'tab session manager', you can save whole windows of tabs and even name them. Both work really, really well. Also if extensions are not your thing, you can have multiple firefox profiles, when you first open the browser you will be need to select which profile you want to use. I have same firefox account log ins across multiple profiles to still be able to sync all bookmarks, accounts, etc, but i have specific profile set up just for watching videos on youtube with just the return of the dislikes button and youtube enhancer extension, only 2 extensions. I guess I use it for extension compartmentalization.

One week max. I used to use it a lot, it is really good. Vivaldi (at least some main people) originate from Opera (both Norway). What I don't like is that the rightclick menu doesn't follow the dark (or any) theme, it always jumps right at you in glaring white (8:07 in your video). It made me go to Brave at the time. If anyone knows how to fix that do let me know please. BTW: the incredible amount of bloatware bookmarks (yes i know you can delete them) made me deinstall it straightaway. Not even Google Chrome does it that badly. A pity.

Vilvaldi in Manjaro used to follow the dark theme for the Menu and Bookmarks etc up to version 5.5.2805.50. The next version these windows then became light even though I had Vivaldi themed as dark, which annoyed me.. But in ZorinOS and ArcoLinux they are still dark.. I mostly use ArcoLinux now and my Vivaldi windows are all dark which is great.

I should note, I used Manjaro KDE and the Menu & Bookmarks windows show as light even though I use Plasma dark themes.. ZorinOS is Gnome D.E. and I use GTK dark themes, and in ArcoLinux I use the Cinnamon D.E. also with GTK dark themes.. Vivalid seems to respect GTK dark themes & light themes (Vivaldi changes according to both light & dark GTK themes), and not respect Plasma dark themes, or so it seems.

i would be cautious - i used vivaldi for about a year before switching to brave. why? because for whatever reason, the video playback for 1080p@60hz started not working properly - jittery playback, plus cpu/gpu temps creeping up in to the 90s, when previously it was ~70c. settings show that hardware gpu playback was not enabled - nothing i did got it working. i have a dell xps 9570 with a 1050ti running ubuntu 20.04 and the latest nvidia drivers. brave works fine and natively with widevine2 and netflix, so I switched to that.

I do like using Vivaldi for my learning and work related stuff (I switch between Brave and LibreWolf for personal browsing). That said, however, there are two main issues with it... firstly the Bitwarden auto fill keybinding doesn't work and closing the last tab doesn't close the browser! Other than that... 🙂

I used to use Opera, years ago before they went Chromium based. It was the only browser that had the built-in ability to force dark mode on websites, no laggy plugins, just pure high performing dark mode. It had several other features that no other browser had or has to this date, but once they abandoned their old code base it sucked as a browser. I have a copy of it for testing purposes, and they've since added back the built-in dark mode, but it's too late for me. I just use FireFox for everything because it's better than everything else, for now.

You mentioned you're a power-user? You had no chance to get along without Vivaldi, none. You want to customize? You use many tabs? You work with your browser? That's what Vivaldi is made for. You have wishes? - Take part in the Vivaldi community and place a feature request in the forum, just find the rightplace and make shure you're the first one with this request. And wonder what happens. You dislike proprietary software? - Even in this point Vivaldi is so much different to others. It's not the percentage. It's not FOSS because it can't be. The part that is not open source is not a secret. You may see it. → And ask one more question you should ask: Who ownes Vivaldi? The are no investors, just Jón and the Employs. I think thas's okay.

Bruh! Vivaldi right now is the one browser that has seriously impressed me. I was a Safari guy, then Edge, flirted again with Chrome, to land back after years to Firefox, and I felt I was home again. However, a huge extension that I can't live without is Sider and I missed having profiles. So, I began my search again just to have another browser as an alternative to Firefox that wasn't bloated Edge and Big tech Chrome, so I found Wave and downloaded Vivaldi again along with some others like Opera (I know, what the hell was I thinking with that one). Long story short, eventhough Wave is cool, it's got ads and no thank you, then, when I began using Vivalde, it just took me down this rabbit hole of features that frankly, holy moly! blew me away. I don't recall this experience several years ago when it came out and used it for a bit. I am thoroughly impressed and once I saw that it works with Sider and has profiles, bingo! I am right now, in-lust with this new browser girlfriend. Hopefully, I found the one. Great channel btw.

The one reason I switched from Vivaldi after about two months of use back to Brave was because Brave is FOSS; Vivaldi technically isn't as the interface is proprietary freeware. If they just switched that to any permissive or GPL/LGPL copyleft license (which would make Vivaldi 100% FOSS, as I believe that's the only thing that isn't FOSS in Vivaldi), then I'd probably give it another shot again.

it's harder to get my computer to do what i want it to do or not when it is proprietary. i've also had issues with lock-in before, where backup or interoperability features can be unilaterally decided to be removed or changed on a whim to my detriment. privacy/telemetry questions goes without saying. and on top of that i just hate to have to treat the program like if my own computer wasn't mine at all because copyright and DRM says so. can't share, can't change, can't look.
