What I want from a browser:

1. Speed 2. Privacy 3. Add-ons/features (and this is far below 1 and 2).

This browser collects all sorts of information (seemingly more than chrome based on the message from instillation), and consumes an absurd amount of memory per tab, even on plain text webpages.

There may be something promising there, but this isn't it.

This browser consumes about same amount as chrome in my tests. Maybe 1/5 more.

Firefox and Chrome also collect the same information, but it is an opt-in from what I remember.

Edit:

Chrome usage with 3 tabs: http://i.imgur.com/mGiX0So.png

Vivaldi usage with the same tabs: http://i.imgur.com/ejnNzib.png

Installed Chrome extensions are your remaining helpers in there.

Uhm, reference? I seriously doubt that...

Well, first from https://vivaldi.com/privacy/ it's not clear to me whether the privacy thing applies to the browser or the vivaldi web site.

Second, here's google chrome's privacy policy:

https://www.google.com/chrome/browser/privacy/

You can see that they have all kinds of information being sent to google. At least as much as Vivaldi.

Well, that probably makes you a minority even among "power users," however we might define that term.
