It's a good browser..like it.
Recently shifted to Kiwi due to its all black display. Will see how the developer keeps kiwi updated. Else going back to Vivaldi.
 
Address bar is very annoying. Would have been fine if I was migrating from Opera 12. But Chrome has just spoilt me. Also tab closing behavior.
 
Address bar? Could you elaborate? Agree with tab closing behaviour. Need to go all the way to the top of screen to close it.
 
address bar thing is kind of hard to explain. there is just too much scrolling involved the way it prioritizes history, bookmark and suggestions.

there are a bunch of other issues. like if you are doing a site search (custom search), it does not highlight the custom search engine.

there are a bunch of other things.

when i talked about tab closing, i was talking about which tab you land on when you close a tab. vivaldi has provided a bunch of options but none of them matches chrome's behavior. vivaldi lets you decide where you want to land which is nice in 99% of the cases. chrome decides which tab to land on when you close a tab and since one is using this for so so long... vivaldi gets annoying to use.
 
Oh.. didn't knew about these issues. Or may be I didn't spend too much time digging in. I never use chrome, it being a memory hog and the dark mode was not to my taste.
 
In that case Vivaldi would work great for you. Internal mail, rss and calendar is pretty nice. Though Google has not approved them yet so using Gmail on it doesn't work for now.
 
Just asking... Why not give Kiwi a try? It's based on chromium and chrome extension work in it if you into those things. Should be similar to Chrome.
Use outlook as email client.. will look into new features by Vivaldi.
