Why reinvent the wheel and force yourself to go through a new browser when you have Vivaldi? Extension support is being planned (not sure when it will release). Windows is "coming soon". Linux- I don't think they will support it.

Vivaldi fits the use cases completely - you can keep it as simple or complex as you want. I don't want a browser which is "fast". I want one which works and supports specific general and niche use cases rolled into one.

Vivaldi is still Chromium based. This is WebKit based (or more accurately, the OS provided engine). We need more non-Chromium based browsers anyway.

I'm speculating here, but it sounds like the Windows version will also be the OS provided engine, which would be Edge, thus we're back to Chromium. Which is a shame considering the stink they make about it in this article.
