I switched from Chrome to Vivaldi and back to FF for two reasons:

1) Vivaldi rendering performance is the worst I've ever seen in a browser. No idea how they managed that using webkit, but some sites would make tabs crash on a high end system.

2) The web developer tools are unusable due to bugs.

3) Fixing simple but impactful bugs takes too long.

I really like their useful and plenty settings for everything, but 1) and 2) make it a no go for me.

That's what happens when you build your UI using HTML, CSS and node.js.

Vivaldi using Webkit... Its Chromium isnt it?

They're using Webkit, yes, but I guess it's highly customized. The performance is so much worse than Chrome and FF

It's even possible to create pages in a way that reproducibly freezes and crashes Vivaldi. Their rendering process handles pages with many elements and multimedia objects very poorly.

Vivaldi uses Blink.[1]
