I have "menu meter" which shows the load on my 4 cpu cores and you can see them creep up towards 100% as it bogs down. If I force quit Vivaldi before it locks up and restart it then its fine again until I start opening several tabs again. I didn't notice it doing this until it updated itself a couple of days ago. I tried reinstalling it (the updated version) and it did it again. So maybe something in the latest update is messed up.

If you have more than 4 tabs open at once Vivaldi starts to get bog slow and eventually grounds to a halt, even froze the MacOS twice. This is using the latest version of Yo Semite. Haven't tried the PC or Linux version yet.

 Gave Vivaldi a try. Its based on open-sores Chrome with an interface copied from Opera probably because its done by ex-Opera people. Acts a lot like Chrome not surprisingly. So its basically Chrome with a different face but seems fine to use. Installed and runs fine on MacOSX but won't complete the install in Opensuse, always gets "aborted by user" error so will have to see if that can be sorted out later.

 
i've used vivaldi to do all of my normal stuff and only had one hitch

resizing photos in rp (pics that i was posting)

other than that it has worked very well

opera has been purchased and revamped the new opera has a built in VPN among other things

for work i use ie, chrome or firefox

for fun i use firefox because of the extensions

however i've been using opera and vivaldi quite a bit 

both seem legit

5 Reasons to Use to Vivaldi Instead of Chrome or Firefox

At this stage, it feels like the browser wars have been fought and won. Most of you probably use Chrome or Firefox, and a sad few of you may even use Internet Explorer. But there’s a new browser in town, and it actually has some features worth sitting up and take notice of. 

Vivaldi has been around for more than a year in the alpha and beta stages, but it recently hit the version 1.0 milestone. Founded by ex-Opera chief Jon von Tetzchner, it’s squarely aimed at power users, meaning its loaded with extra features for browsing pros. It’s available for Windows, Mac and Linux too. Here are five reasons we prefer Vivaldi over any other browser.
