Vivaldi is the newest player on the web browser field

In the beginning, there was Netscape. Then came Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, and the love-it-or-hate-it Chrome. Now, there’s a new competitor in the war to capture your online attention, a stripped-back browser built from the ashes of Opera and designed for power users. Opera enthusiasts will tell you that the browser hasn’t been the same since it abandoned its Presto rendering engine a few years ago. Vivaldi is a brand-new browser designed to bring back the power-user features of Opera: tab stacks, an abundance of keyboard shortcuts, and in-page notetaking, to name a few. The browser is currently in Technical Preview release, meaning it’s still a little buggy, and a few features (like the sidebar email client) just plain aren’t working at the moment. But having played around with everything that is functional, Vivaldi seems like a slick, powerful internet-browsing machine.
