It's a cool idea, but major bugs are being introduced and then ignored. Virtually unusable and I would not recommend it.

I literally can't function on the web without Vivaldi, for me it's the only usable desktop browser. What problems have you encountered?
Switching tabs doesn't work like you would expect in Opera for example. The order of tabs gets shuffled randomly. It's completely broken. I downgraded to a version where it had worked, stuck with that for a while. When I complained about it people usually say "just use it like chrome where you can't switch tabs properly anyway lol". It was reported with the precise version that broke it. Vivaldi team asked maybe twice on social media, but then it was just tumbleweeds. It's 100% reproducible with a clean install, on both windows and osx. I gave up and preach for people to just stay away from that browser.
Is this what you're talking about? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1XoTNV1qFY
Thanks Chrome for ruining web in yet another way. LRU is THE default for virtually every windowed and tabbed application, then Chrome comes and fucks it up. Now we have a video talking about a "fix", and likely not a single user in Vivaldi even using the default (because they would notice it's broken). Kinda hilarious.
Not my experience with Vivaldi even remotely.
