tezza Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Hot on the heels of Microsoft announcing its newest browser, Project Spartan, we’ve got another brand new contender in the browser wars: Vivaldi.The new browser, which is available for Windows, Mac and Linux, is still in its early days, but offers a number of features that loyal Opera users may remember. It sports mouse gestures for browsing and the familiar “speed dial” interface that shows your favorite tabs on the new tab page.Vivaldi also has some new tricks up its sleeves. Multiple tabs can be combined into one for easy browsing of related sites. For example, if you were doing research online you could group all the tabs on that topic into one to save space.Another feature allows you to take notes right in the browser, along with screenshots, which makes it easy to remember exactly why you thought a page was important.I tried Vivaldi for a few days before its release and it’s a snappy browser that pays a lot of homage to Opera. The browser’s interface subtly fades colors as you change site, to match the dominant color on the page. I think it’s got big potential for power users, with features like ‘quick commands’ that helps you search or run commands just like OS X’s Spotlight.Vivaldi is a new project started by former CEO and co-founder of Opera, Jon von Tetzchner. You might remember Tetzchner for famously saying he’d swim from Norway to the US if Opera 8 got a million downloads in the first four days; which he actually attempted. After leaving Opera in 2011, Tetzchner founded Vivaldi in December 2013.I asked Tatsuki, a co-founder of Vivaldi, why the team started a new browser, when there are so many on the market and he said “we feel that there is a need for a more powerful browser for people who want more from their browser” and that “most browsers in the market today are offering similar, non differentiated [and are] relatively simple.”I was curious about what Vivaldi offers over Opera and why Vivaldi was somewhat similar. Tatsuki said that “Opera used to offer many unique powerful features, but like I say above, Opera too now offers more simple product […] we know that there are still many millions of people out there who are using an old version of Opera.”Because of this, the initial focus of Vivaldi is to deliver some of the functionality that existed in Opera in the past, as well as adding more going forward.Vivaldi is using the Chromium (Blink) rendering engine that’s found in Chrome, but the browser itself is almost entirely built using modern web technologies including React, Node.js and a number of Node modules.Right now, the browser is only a technical preview, but there are big plans for Vivaldi in the future. In the coming months, there are plans to add sync, mail support, better performance and extensions. Tatsuki also said that Vivaldi will be shaped by the community for the most part, so the feature set will be guided by user demand.Vivaldi is available as a technical preview for Windows, Mac or Linux today.➤ Vivaldi http://thenextweb.com/apps/2015/01/27/meet-vivaldi-new-browser-former-ceo-opera/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vissha Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 They should've used Presto Engine which was used by Old Opera. Since its Chromium[Google], I'll never use it in my life and I'll never suggest anyone.If all the browser makers move from Presto, who'll develop/help to develop the engine? If the old CEO is mentally conscious, he'll move the engine to Presto. When Opera was with Presto, whenever Opera launched a new version, it was much faster and rated most speedy browser. Does the CEO forget this? Why he's also going behind Google's Chromium to become a Slave to Google's Changes?If Vivaldi moves to Presto, I'll be one of the first users of the browser's stable release. Whoever, likes Old Opera features with a Presto Engine can stand with my statement and spread across the web. Together, we can bring the change!

drdaffey Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 The browser looks promising, but yet crude:no support existing mail Vivaldi.netscreenshot function does not workwell and other functionsI hope the developers will soon release a beta versionbecause I llike mail vivaldi.net and I use itexcellent news, Tessa, you fellow that drew attention to this browserAccording to Wikipedia, Vivaldi was -just- released. We're gonna have to wait for a beta. Also, why the hell do you need a screenshot function?They should've used Presto Engine which was used by Old Opera. Since its Chromium[Google], I'll never use it in my life and I'll never suggest anyone.If all the browser makers move from Presto, who'll develop/help to develop the engine?

Whoever, likes Old Opera features with a Presto Engine can stand with my statement and spread across the web. Together, we can bring the change!Presto was closed-source. Chromius(Webkit) is open-source. For what it's worth, Opera could've had a backdoor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdaffey Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 PrtSc works better than any built-in function, but okay. My point is we're not gonna get all of the functionality at once and I'm pretty sure the priorities are other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calguyhunk Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 if this function is declared, it should work, isn't it?PrtSc works better than any built-in function, but okay. My point is we're not gonna get all of the functionality at once and I'm pretty sure the priorities are other.Please tell me you're winding me up! Print Screen and screenshot are completely different! PrtScr gives you only the visible area, whereas screenshot gives you the option of capturing the entire page - from top to bottom! Try it. :)Just save the resultant image as jpg/png and open the file with your browser - not the regular photo app, click on the image on make it full size and then just scroll as if you're surfing the net even though you're only going through a local file. :yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drdaffey Posted January 29, 2015 Share Posted January 29, 2015 Shoulda elaborated man. In my book saving a page as a pic is saving a page, not taking a screenshot. Since, ya know, a screen-shot should be a shot of your screen, i.e. the visible area.But let's not argue semantics. Fact is people have higher priorities.

licurg Posted February 4, 2015 Share Posted February 4, 2015 What is it with former Opera workers and delivering stillborns? (It's a rhetorical question, don't answer.)Seems to be a trend with a touch of necrophilia. Yuck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
