from Chrome /Chromium to Vivaldi: can i still benefit from the sustainable development in google_chromium?


Recommended Posts

hello dear all good day dear Neowin-Experts. 

 

 

well  - at the moent i test a new broser:  new to vivaldi:

 

if i switch to vivaldi : can i benefit from the development in Chrome.

 

note: i have heard that vivaldi is related to Chrome (Chromium) - and i guess that therefore - i can imagine that all the sustainable development of Chrome will be also - hmmm let us say "available"

 

-so - if this is true - then all the comium user can go to vivaldi - and still can benefit from

the sustainable development in chromium the ecology of extensions of chromium too

 

what do you think about this?

Vivaldi is slow startup ( at least its been that way for me )  an i dont have a decade old computer. even on Vivaldi Snapshot its still on Chromium 89. you possibly can speed Vivaldi up by disabling unwanted/unneeded features. problem i find with Vivaldi its to Bloated which Bogs down the Browser speed

No speed issues here on my old i3, it's the best browser I've used in years.

well my PC was built in 2017 so the hardware aint old by all means, why would firefox an other chromium based browsers startup faster than Vivaldi?

My PC was built at the end of 2016.

 

In my testing they all start up the same  in 1-2 seconds maybe that's slow?

Vivaldi is bloated as shit so it doesn't surprise me to hear is starts up a bit slower.

 

one question though, do you have a HDD or SSD? that will make more of a difference than you'd think for app startup time

It is maybe a fraction of a second slower on startup here; not enough to make a difference in much of anything.

hello dear all 

 

well many thanks for the replies and for all your feedack - great to hear from you,.

 

 

well i am currently testing Vivaldi 3.7 on a Linux-System - it runs very very fast. 

 

 

but i wonder why i have such a headless view  - > see the image below - here some parts are missing. 

 

note: is this a vivaldi or some other issue!?

fixed -  just needed to ship the  tool-set from the header to the left border 

 

well i have to say : this browser is blisteringly fast -  on my very very old notebook - a asus L 54 xy  - build in the early 2015 ... the browser is 

damned fast - much faster than chromium and firefox.

 

 

see the issue: fixed.

the only thing missing from vivaldi its true portable experience and better sync, its a pain in the ass to move between pc with vivaldi things like addons, and personal info just dont sync and if your pc breaks or need to format you lose everything with vivaldi. in contrast chrome and opera the sync just works.... still think that the only real alternative to chrome its firefox all the chrome clones its more of the same thing with some cons and pro.

I don't have any issues syncing between PC Vivaldi to Vivaldi on Android everything just works perfectly for me.

    • Google reportedly limited Meta's Gemini access over limited AI compute by Karthik Mudaliar Google is reportedly limiting Meta's use of its Gemini AI models after Meta tried buying more computing capacity than even Google could supply. According to the Financial Times, Google told Meta in March that it could not provide the full Gemini capacity that Meta had requested. This shortfall even disrupted and delayed some of Meta's internal projects. Due to this, Meta even told its employees internally to use AI tokens more efficiently. Meta wasn't the only one to get hit by this sudden refusal by Google; even other customers were affected. But Meta was hit harder because of its unusually high demand for Google's models. The move from Google makes it evident that companies all over are in limited supply of both infrastructure and compute. Alphabet said in April that Google Cloud revenue grew 63% year-over-year to $20 billion in the first quarter, helped by enterprise AI infrastructure and AI solutions. In pursuit of more compute, Meta had earlier signed a multi-billion-dollar AWS agreement as well as a large AMD GPU deal for AI data centers. But the crunch would be short-lived as both Meta and Google have also ramped up infrastructure investments heavily. Meta said in November that it was committing more than $600 billion in the U.S. by 2028 for AI technology, infrastructure, and workforce expansion. In the first quarter of this year, Meta also raised its expected capital expenditure for 2026 to a range of $125 billion to $145 billion, citing higher component pricing and additional data center costs for future capacity. However, this doesn't make the company immune to the current dependence on outside suppliers. Meta has also spent many years promoting Llama as an open-weight alternative to closed models from Google, OpenAI, and Anthropic. But if the reported reliance on Google's Gemini models is severe enough for internal work to get impacted, then it looks like even frontier labs and Big Tech aren't fully self-sufficient.

    • I like to reminisce about the good old days, way back in autumn 2025 when building a gaming machine was fun and the drives were about $150 when you caught a deal. Yes duh, back in the day we had it gone. Then baby Skynet came along, hiding in AI datacenters demanding more processing power until it reached singularity. End of a not totally fictional story.
    • My experience in the past with older Windows 11 builds was not great on unsupported machines but I recently used Rufus to put the latest build on a older 5th Gen Core Thinkpad T that we upgraded with a SATA SSD and 8GB of RAM four years ago when hardware was reasonable and it seemed pretty fast and solid. Customer is very happy with the performance and will probably get four more years out of that venerable laptop that he loves so much. Another customer just retired his Dell Studio laptop from 2009 running Windows 10. It got an SSD over 10 years ago and did everything he needed it to for 17 years but he also retired last year and is happy doing everything on his iPad now.
    • Apple's newest AirTag 2 gets first big discount by Taras Buria In late January 2026, Apple introduced its second-generation AirTag trackers, bringing a refresh to the old model that has been on the market for half a decade. Now, you can get these new trackers at an all-time low price, thanks to the first big discount that brought the price down by 17% on Amazon. While the second-generation AirTag looks identical to its predecessor, it packs meaningful upgrades inside. The second-gen ultrawideband chip works 50% farther than the original AirTag, allowing you to detect lost items in a wider range. In addition, the second-generation AirTag features an upgraded Bluetooth chip for extended range and a significantly louder speaker (up to 50%) so that you can hear it better when locating a lost item. Note that the second-gen AirTag only works with iPhones and iPads that run iOS/iPadOS 26 and newer, so you need a compatible device to use the tracker. Like the original AirTag, the AirTag 2 is available in two packs: one and four pieces. Both are now available at a notable discount on Amazon, and you can purchase them using the links below. Apple AirTag 2 tracker - $24 | 17% off on Amazon Apple AirTag 2 tracker (four-pack) - $89 | 10% off on Amazon Good to know This Amazon deal is U.S.- specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • I've been on Deezer for over a decade, but glad that Tidal joined them in fighting AI slop. Can't stand such takes as Spotify's: "Spotify's CEO recently pushed back against listeners who call AI music "slop," urging people to stop using the term and instead embrace the creative potential of AI music."
