Here’s the crux of the article in video form:
If you are looking for a new browser, Vivaldi might be the one for you. The free cross platform browser is developed by Vivaldi Technologies and is based on Chromium.
As of September last year, it had more than 2.3 million active users. Featuring a minimalistic user interface combined with a dynamic color scheme, users can easily customize the overall look according to their preferences.
Moreover, it also comes with a built-in ad-blocking solution, saving the time to search for an extension. Inspired by Opera, the browser has a ‘speed dial’ page that can be used to access websites quickly.
Another useful feature includes the ability to install and use both Firefox and Chrome extensions. That said, developers recently released the 5.2 update that fixed existing bugs and introduced new features.
But soon after Vivaldi 5.2 update, user started complaining (1,2,3) that the browser is crashing or closing. While some say the app only crashes when trying to use the new reading list features, others say the problem is affecting them even while browsing.
Thankfully, Vivaldi developers have acknowledged the crashing issue after the 5.2 update and said it will be fixed in the next version. However, they did not share any ETA on when the patch will be out.
When they fix the issue, we will update this space to reflect the same so make sure you stay tuned to PiunikaWeb.
