We've asked about this many times before, but our new guy @oskar is curious about what everyone's favourite features are (...and since we don't track user behaviour, asking you is the only way for us to get this insight).

[t2r@infosec.exchange]

@Vivaldi @oskar It doesn't constanly lose my tab stacks like Chrome did. I like that it does use Chrome extensions. The sidebar is handy at times. The full web page capture doesn't work though. Especially on pages with iFrames.

[lemmus@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi @oskar

1: An actual exit button in the Android version.

2: Tileable tabs.

3: Tiled follower tab.

4: Batteries included as a philosophy. A tracker blocker comes right out of the box.

5: Built-in feed reader.

6: Bonus stage, since it's not a feature in the conventional sense: No genAI or cryptocurrency shilling.

@Vivaldi @oskar

Dark Mode for every page.
Your ad- and trackerblockers & still supporting UBlock origin.
Customizability (is that a word?)
Mouse gestures

[lechindianer@sueden.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar

- Europe tech
- Included RSS reader
- Split tabs
- Tab stacks
- Workspaces

[keyj@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@Vivaldi @oskar
1. still supports MV2 extensions (extremely important - a browser without UBlock Origin can not to be taken seriously)
2. mouse gestures (particularily rocker gestures)
3. single-key shortcuts
4. tab grouping and tiling
5. web panels
The list would go on for a while, but you asked for 5, so you get 5

[thevoidtlmb@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi @oskar 1. No AI 2. No AI 3. No AI 4. No AI 5. No AI . Workspaces and hibernating tabs are good too.

[thelastofhisname@beige.party]

@Vivaldi @oskar for me, it's the notes function. Hands down.

[murdoc@autistics.life]

@Vivaldi @oskar
- notes, I use them for so many things
- everything about tabs
- the mail client
- all the customizability
- the great context menu

[kingconsult@berlin.social]

@Vivaldi

@Vivaldi @oskar

[simon@gotosocial.grnwds.uk]

@Vivaldi @oskar

1. Being European
2. Built in ad blocking
3. All the controls
4. No AI
5. Good tab syncing

[laurikuparinen@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar I don't have a top 5, but I really find workspaces to be useful and the ability to group tabs as subtabs (or whatever you call it) has been really helpful in few cases.

[cowman@thecanadian.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar
1. Seperate search and address bar, where address bar does only address things
2. Side tabs
3. Mouse gestures
4. AI Free
5. UBlock

Miss private tabs

Keep up the good work

[birkettm@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar being not us tech

[tchambers@indieweb.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar Your configurablity and that almost every UX element can be tweaked is huge. I find I use your RSS reader far more than I expected too. On mobile your clean text only mode works great. Pinned tabs also are something I use daily....

[mxalba@blahaj.zone]

@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net @oskar@social.vivaldi.net

1) not "big tech"
2) European
3) Nested tabs
4) Chrome plugin support
5) windowed tabs

The one big thing I'm dearly missing though is containers so I can sandbox various accounts to only sites where I absolutely need them...

[fablog@mastodon.social]

@Vivaldi @oskar
- tab tiling
- included E-Mail-Client
- focus on privacy
- synching bookmarks and settings
- independence of big tech

[catweazle@social.vivaldi.net]

@Vivaldi @oskar,
. It's European
- Company ethics
- The community
- U can set it to the milimetre to my like
- Privacy

[vivaldi@social.vivaldi.net]

@TheLastOfHisName @oskar wow that's very specific!
