New Browser

I just tried the new browser from the creator of Opera, but built on the open source chromium engine, which power Chrome. https://vivaldi.com- available for Windows 7 +, Mac OS and Linux.
First impression- great for Opera fans, and a good alternative for anyone. Very customizable, very different from the Firefox/Chrome/IE paradigm (like Opera has always been).
  • i used Opera a lotp in win2000 -XP days
    before firefox and win7
  • I use it sometimes.
    It can be set so that no images are downloaded, it makes for a very blank looking page but saves a lot on limited bandwidth.

    Seems to- I am just trying it a bit. Looks like every Chrome extension will work, as it is built on the Chrome engine

    Opera was the 3rd big browser back in the day- there was Netscape, Internet Explorer and Opera. It always did things a bit different- gesture based navigation, tiled start screen (this was back in the Win98 and XP days). Opera is still around, but this is a fork by some of the original folks.
