I have been using Vivaldi as my go to browser for for a few years now and it has just gotten better. Just down load it and check it out.Īnd no, I am in no way affiliated with Vivaldi and get no kick back from them. Many of the extensions available for chrome work under Vivaldi as well.
Vivaldi also has built in security for privacy when dealing with tracking, data collection etc (much better than chrome). There are many other tweaks available to Vivaldi as well. Other features include setting auto refresh on individual tabs, pinning, tab stacking, etc., just to name a few. You can also group your tabs for better organization. It has tabs that you can place on the left, right, bottom or top. Edge is not really that "special" for doing this as there are other browsers based on the chromium engine that do this already!! Not worth the hype of the article title. So the edge team just added the feature into their version of browser. Rather than taking up a whole page, it’ll now appear as a drop-down menu on the toolbar, and it can be pinned to the side for convenience’s sake.įirst off, edge is based on chromium (the open source base to chrome). The company reckons this will reduce Edge’s startup time by 29% to 41% – though of course this is something of an illusion if it’s using system resources by running silently in the background.īrowser history is also getting reworked. Microsoft is also bringing along “startup boost”, which launches the browser in the background when users turn on their device. Vertical tabs isn’t the only upgrade Edge is getting this month. Microsoft clearly believes that the time is right to revive vertical tabs – and if the company’s instinct is correct, it would be hugely surprising if the likes of Chrome, Firefox and Safari didn’t follow suit for fear of losing wide screened users to a rival. “We know that a feature like this is really important to some number of users (and Chrome developers!), but at the same time we have to continually cut and trim things, knowing that those cuts will annoy people, so that Chrome doesn't turn into bloatware that satisfies no-one.”īut a decade is a long time in tech, and ultra-wide monitor adoption is higher in 2021 than it was in 2011. “We torture ourselves over stuff like this - it comes down to painful decisions about keeping Chrome lightweight,” the developer continued. Expressing regret that the company “let the experiment linger too long” given the attachment to the feature that so many users subsequently developed, the developer explained that such tough decisions were vital in the goal of keeping the browser as simple as possible.
