Finally, a Chromium-based browser with working, encrypted sync that doesn't use Google. There are a couple of problems, however: LastPass sees Vivaldi as an app, not as a browser, so it doesn't take the URL into account and therefore offers no accounts to log into. And there's no easy way to allow third-party cookies on a per site basis. That said, the return of proper sync alone after years in the Brave wilderness makes the switch worthwhile, but it's only on the desktop that Brave comes into its own, with web panels, tab stacking and tiling, built in window capture, sending of tabs to remote devices, and a very detailed level of configurability.

Ian, thanks for using the Vivaldi Snapshot test build and for your review. Glad sync helps. Please report LastPass behavior and the per-site cookie need with device and steps on forum.vivaldi.net and try the stable (red icon). If you enjoy Vivaldi please spread the word and consider 5 stars.

You can tell a lot of thought went into developing this app. It has everything toggles to move back and forth between webpages, media player with volume and brightness control, to easily accessible bookmarks. I've downloaded just about every browser in the store and this is by far the best. Edit: I have to take back a star bcus the adblocker isn't aggressive enough.

I love the frequent updates, new features, and the level of customization Vivaldi offers. just one request, please consider allowing extensions to be installed from trusted sources other than the Chrome Web Store. Important extensions such as uBlock Origin have been removed from the Chrome Web Store, so having alternative installation options would give users more freedom and control
