https://vivaldi.com/ This is, without a doubt, the best looking Linux application I've ever used. I don't know how usable it is yet but I will be live posting my experience ITT.

i would post a screenshot of me posting in this thread from vivaldi, but I disabled the prntscreen button on my lenovo because the braindead idiots over there decided to put the prnt screen button next to ctrl in prime keyboard real estate. Seriously, if you're on the bottom row one key away from the space board, that's like the Riveria of the keyboard, you dont put loving print screen there jesus christ I was hitting it like 20 times a day. I disabled it when my screenshots folder hit over 10GB of just random screenshots.

okay, it looks like the right pane is the primary pane, going forward and back and hitting refresh only affects the right pane.

lol it's written in javascript OTOH it's react, so maybe that's good? I don't know. also if it's chrome does that mean it's still a memory hog?

I too used vivaldi for a while but I was to ashamed to make a yospos thread about it. its p. good but has the same issues as chome being a massive memory hog, especially with lots of tabs open so I went back to using the worlds most advance web browser: safari. Would defiantly use if i was on linux tho.

Very impressive if javascript stymie is right about it being 60fps twitch gameplay then that's still pretty cool. every shooter game since quake 3 has been a step backwards - lovely cover shooters using all that extra processing power just to cover everything with bloom and myopia effects that we're better off without. but you're right, using that extra processing power to instead add a bunch of layers of abstraction for no reason is pretty stupid and wasteful. why did i bother replacing my pentium at all

i tired vivaldi a few months ago to see if it could bring back any of that old opera magic from 10 years ago, but found it to be too hosed up and lovely (basically, still too much like chrome) just tried it again and it's better but still not great. middle-click opens a new tab in background instead of foreground and i cant find a way to change that. also they really need to let you selectively disable certain mouse gestures. when you new-tab gesture over a link, it opens the link in a new tab, which is a PITA because lots of websites these days tend to make massive areas of the page act as links. i just want a new blank tab dont open the link that's my story, thanks for reminding me about vivaldi, op. gonna keep using firefox for now (even though i need to rebuild my profile again because firefox keeps falling the gently caress apart on its own for no apparent reason)

Otter Browser aims to recreate the best aspects of the classic Opera (12.x) UI using Qt5. their official forum is at "The DnD Sanctuary" and they have an IRC channel and a Polish IRC channel, so they're really going for a faithful duplication here

I used vivaldi for a while too right after 1.0 and it's p. dece. Still had a few weird chrome-isms though, like the lack of a "properties" entry in the context menu and no ability to delete selective history items upon shutdown/startup They did add a tickbox for disabling third-party cookies after a few people bitched in their forums though so maybe there's hope still a lot better than vanilla chrom and closer to being opera 12 than anything other than opera 12

for real though it's actually pretty fuckin decent and the only issue i have with it is that double clicking the title bar on OS X opens a new tab instead of maximizing the window
