So today a new web browser,
another chromium-based released, the name is
Vivaldi. The review? first thing: Ctrl+Enter doesn't work, in another browser its usually for appending ".com" and go! Ctrl+L (location bar), Ctrl+H (history), Ctrl+J (download) works fine. Opening many tabs lags a lot, maybe because of their skin. You can install it on
Windows,
Mac,
Ubuntu,
Fedora, also on ArchLinux using this command:
yaourt -Sy vivaldi
So, how about their javascript performance? Here's the result of SunSpider benchmark
Vivaldi 1.0.83.38 (Developer Build) stable
