![]() ![]() I’ve always liked Opera, which used to use its own proprietary “Presto” browser engine, but in 2013 switched to the Blink variant of the KDE-derived Apple WebKit also used by Google for their Chrome browser. Opera serves as my general duty Web browser these days. I’ve never been a big fan of Safari’s user interface or feature set, but it’s fast, stable, and being closely integrated with OS X, I deduced, accurately it seems, that it is a more efficient user of energy than the other first-tier browsers, so I now use it for the same slate of tasking previously handled by Chrome. I still keep at least three Web browsers running, but the core suite now includes Safari, Opera, and Vivaldi. Having determined that Chrome and Firefox were the principal juice-hogging culprits, a couple of months ago I stopped using both of them, and noticed a significant improvement in battery performance. However, back on the Mac, I was getting frustrated with Chrome and Firefox in particular draining the battery in my 13-inch MacBook Air, reducing that machine’s battery runtime between charges from exceptional to mediocre. Aside from that, it’s interface features that will give the various iOS browsers particular appeal to individual taste and needs Performance is fairly equal across all of them with the exception of Puffin, which routes data through a cloud-based compression server. The browser equation is somewhat different on the iPad, as all iOS browsers are based on Apple’s Open Source Webkit browser engine. On the iPad, Safari is my anchor browser, with the speedy compression based Puffin, Opera Mini, Maxthon, Chrome, and recently Firefox getting a fair ing bobit of work as well. My computer usage is heavily browser-centric even more so in recent years since I switched my email from POP 3 standalone apps to Webmail.įor years until recently, my standard browser suite in OS X was comprised of Firefox, Chrome, and either Opera or Safari, sometimes both. Microsoft Internet Explorer (!) - 20.Vivaldi Web Browser Features Speed, User Interface Customization – ‘Book Mystique Review.Here are the most popular desktop browsers for December, 2016, according to NetMarketShare: Neon and Vivaldi make Chrome and Microsoft's products look like Netscape Navigator by comparison. Check out the intro video for Neon here (the music also is very cool!). Though I'm not ready to make Neon my primary browser, if this is the future of the browser, it's very cool and promising. This desktop browser is more than just a window to the internet – with Opera Neon, you are in control of everything you see. Tabs and other objects respond to you like real objects they have weight and move in a natural way when dragged, pushed, or even popped. Opera Neon’s newly developed physics engine is set to breathe life back into the internet. ![]() Think of this as "Windows" for your browser. Like Vivaldi, Neon has a split-screen mode, allowing you to view two different tabs at once. Watch videos without distractions with the included pop-out video player. You can crop images right within the browser, snap, and save them to your computer. When you close a tab, it disappears with a poof. Tabs appear to the right of browser pages as bubbles, within the browser. These are updated as you visit more sites. Speed Dial icons appear as individual bubbles that you can move around on the Speed Dial page. Customize colors ad infinitum, take notes within the browser itself, and so much more. ![]() You can stack and tile tabs within a single browser window. Do you prefer the browser tabs placed at the bottom or on the side of the window? Or, a different location for the address bar? Whether it's your keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, appearance or a modification to address color blindness, Vivaldi gives you the tools. ![]() We adapt to you! With Vivaldi you can customize the browser the way you want. We at Vivaldi believe in making software that lets you do things your way. The world is a colorful place because we are all different and unique. Vivaldi has a great set of features and a wide variety of customization options. Chromium is the same platform underlying Google Chrome, so Vivaldi is compatible with all Chrome extensions. Named after Italian Renaissance composer Antonio Vivaldi ("The Four Seasons"), it's based on Chromium. My browser of choice for the past year or so has been the new Vivaldi browser. ![]()
