@stanford @Vivaldi. I guess I should have included that option in the poll. 😀

I love your message from your intro:

"Tbh, I'm not the most comfortable when it comes to small talk and starting chats, so if I reach out to you, please be nice "

@jon @Vivaldi Yea 😅

Please don't get me wrong. It wasn't meant to be mean 🙈
It just was the opposite of "Yes, I love it!"  

If you want serious feedback, I don't really like chromium in general as an engine. This is the reason why I moved away from Opera when they switched to it and the same also applies to Vivaldi. Also, it feels quite bloated to me. But that, unfortunately, is an issue that more or less all browsers have at the moment.

Idk, I just want a browser to browse the web. I don't want my emails in there or manage my contacts or take notes there...

@stanford @Vivaldi , just to be clear. Opera had a choice and they made the wrong choice, after I left.

At Vivaldi we did not really have much of a choice. We have spent a lot of time trying to build a great browser, based on the feedback we get from users. Yes, it has a lot of features. No, you do not have to use them all. You can use what is important to you.

BTW, this was the principle at Opera during my time as well. If you liked Opera, you might just love Vivaldi.
