    Woah...CentBrowser's domain is down. At the very least, they've lost ownership. Hope they don't go the way of CoolNovo.

    HI,
    Edge nearly reached maturity, it can easily compete with other browsers.

    WIKI:rolleyes:

    I have found that browsers are like AVs, or even newspapers. We like the one we got used to.

    In my case, it has been Opera all along and by a long distance from the next one. Especially old Opera Presto was the best browser ever developed, so they had to abandon it. The new Opera isn't as good, but still better than the competition. Edge is edging up to it.

    Translation

    Which browser is as good at translating web pages as Chrome is? I'm talking about in browser translation, not going via google translate webpage.

    That would be very sad to see they are no longer supporting the browser and fold up. One can still download the last stable file from third part sources.

    I completely agree with you. Microsoft edge is heading to the right direction though.

    You are correct. Was the sever down or they folded up before? It looked like it folded up initially to me rather than a server problem. I am so glad they are back online. :clap::clap::clap:

    Perhaps they didn't pay the server bill? I hope it was that simple.

    It's and will be hopeless if they don't open its engine

    I'm using the old Apple Safari Browser 5.1.7. That was the last one supported on the PC by Apple. But guess what it runs fine and clean for the most part, If I run across a site that wants an updated browser then I switch to Microsoft Edge. I set the preferences to "Google" search on both Edge and Safari when the browsers are used.

    How good is Safari browser on system resources? Being old and no support for Windows 10 could mean something of a concern. I would be interested to see the image of your Task Manager processes while using the browser.

    What are you talking about?:confused: There are a blog, a vivaldi forum, many FB groups, the vivaldi own social network, all dedicated to listen about the user requests.

    Vivaldi is already the most customizable browser ever, in part is more customizable than its ancestor Opera, given it includes its own unique features that can be further extended thanks to the wide library of chrome and/or opera extensions, that the old Opera lacked for more than a decade.

    The bugtracker has collected about 21000 bugs/and feature requests, and as today more than 14000 are already resolved, then there are duplicates, wontfix, invalid requests, not reproducible bugs, bugs posted in obscure languages/alphabets and so on... In short only a bunch of important opened bugs are yet to be taken in account, and many of them are related to newly introduced features and to the weekly snapshots, or the internal beta test streams, rather than the released versions

    The Vivaldi is small it's no secret, the Opera team was 20x larger in it's brightest days, but opera had a zillion of versions for mobile, desktop and embedded platform, starting from Epoch32 and UIQ to linux for PowerPC, BSD, OS2 and so on. Also Vivaldi ATM is desktop only and aimed to only three desktop OS.

    Last but not least, Opera built its engine from scratch (something that only four companies were able to afford in the last 20 days) Vivaldi can't afford that right now (even a large company like MS has big problems to manage a new engine today), but if a third party engine is limiting is also a lot of work already done.

    Personally rather than being displeased by the company size, I'm amazed by the miracle they were able to put together in little more than 1.5 years

    No need to watch the clock, the only big thing missing is the integrated email client that no other current browser has, it is already robust and fast and lacks just few UI refinements and hopefully will be released before the new year. The sync support will come as well, it's more matter of the infrastructure rather than the feature itself.

    Would be pretty easy to use Chrome's one but, unlike Google, both Vivaldi as a company and as its user base, cares a lot about the privacy so an independent infrastructure must be developed and tested. I prefer to wait, but people who can't has already a wide choice of solutions and extensions to sync their browser.

    Translate in Chrome is just Google Translate as part of the native shell, you get the same thing if you use Edge's Bing Translate feature.

    Well, Edge's Bing might be even better. Just try shopping in "Amazon.de" (German) translated to English. Edge's Bing translated pages let you continue by links, but Chrome's translation might not accept that ...
