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.

    • The fact that memory in general is so high I have to take a loan out to build a computer now is just beyond stupid. Who's really to blame here? Low supply or high demand?
    • Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 by Razvan Serea Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) is a utility for completely removing AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL graphics drivers and related packages from your system, attempting to eliminate all leftovers (including registry entries, folders and files, driver store). Though AMD/NVIDIA/INTEL drivers can usually be removed via the Windows Control Panel, this uninstaller tool was created for situations where standard uninstall fails, or when you need to fully remove NVIDIA or ATI graphics card drivers. After using this driver cleaner, your system will behave as though it’s the first time you’re installing a new driver—similar to a fresh Windows installation. As with all such tools, we recommend creating a restore point beforehand, allowing you to undo changes if issues arise. If you're having trouble installing an older or newer driver, try it—there are reports that it resolves such problems. Recommended usage: The tool can be used in Normal mode but for absolute stability when using DDU, Safemode is always the best. Make a backup or a system restore (but it should normally be pretty safe). It is best to exclude the DDU folder completely from any security software to avoid issues. You do NOT need to uninstall the driver prior using DDU. Requirements: .NET Framework 4.8 Compatible with Windows 7, 8, 8.1, 10, and 11 (32-bit or 64-bit) Note: Using on Insider Preview builds is at your own risk. Display Driver Uninstaller (DDU) 18.1.5.5 changelog: Added 'Reset to recommended' button for the Options. General fixes and improvements.

WACUP 1.99.51.24568 Preview changelog: Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when doing some of the drag + drop actions within the media library window Fixed a loading crash seen related to a problem with some of the artwork cache image files being restored which should now be better handled allowing for the bad image to be removed without it failing Fixed a deadlock seen from the recent crash reports when the internal metadata cache clearing is triggered which could block the main ui thread for too long with this now being moved to a background thread Fixed some performance issues with some of the methods related to determining artwork support which mainly affected the local library import / refresh (this is still slower for some compared to other players because there's more data & artwork aspects being checked for which means doing more processing on a single file despite the best of attempts to reduce duplicate / heavy processing where possible) Fixed a crash with the JTFE based missing files hotkey which no one seems to have used for an age for this to appear (maybe it's time to seriously consider stripping out features that aren't being used) Fixed how some of the file types which use extra information to reference their sub-songs is handled which was preventing some from being correctly resolved back to their base file (noticed fixing above) Fixed an issue with the handling of files with underscores in their filepath which wasn't being correctly handled causing some of the filename to be lost when shown as the title if title reading is delayed Fixed a few things that might be behind NotSoDirect not being stable for some setups though am still not certain that the changes done for this are going to fully resolve the problem from the crash reports Fixed the OS toast handling when there's no prior shortcut in the OS start menu to now create the shortcut (needed to allow the yes/no buttons for the new build / post-release toast) to be done as a hidden one so it's less likely to cause annoyance for those not wanting to see it whilst still allowing this less than ideal OS api implementation requirement to be met to avoid toasts without the needed buttons Fixed a regression when moving from taglib1 to taglib2 which broke some of the handling in place to allow for external programs to still access files when wacup has a held open cached instance of the file Everything else Updated cppwinrt (gen_win10shell.dll) to 3.0.260520.1 (26 May 2026) Updated libcurl (libcurl.dll) to 8.2.1 (24 Jun 2026) Updated Monkey's Audio (in_ape.dll) to 13.15 (28 Jun 2026) Updated mpg123 (mpg123.dll) to 1.33.6 (6 Jun 2026) Updated OpenSSL (libcurl.dll) to 3.5.7 (9 Jun 2026) Updated pugixml to 1.16 (16 Jun 2026) Updated taglib (tag2.dll) to 2.3.0 (11 May 2026) Updated vgmstream (in_vgmstream.dll) to the latest Git commit from 28 Jun 2026 Download: WACUP 64-bit | 9.6 MB (Freeware) Download: WACUP 32-bit View: WACUP Website | Screenshots Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
