Actually I'd like to review browser more than calendar, because calendar is more simple by design, but the browser is more important for me as Internet user. I have used both Vivaldi and Opera. My experience with both has been positive. I like how much personalization you can do with the two browsers. It is a little more difficult to find settings in Vivaldi than Opera, but once you find them its not that much more difficult to change. I would say that after using both browsers for a while I prefer Opera.

I’m extremely underwhelmed. I expected it to be faster and better performing than Safari on my M2 iPad Pro. Opera scores 420+ on Browser Speed Test vs the 360 for Safari and Vivaldi. I’m missing my search engines (Perplexity, Brave) and there are no tab groups or anything that would be a unique feature that would distinguish Vivaldi from all other browsers on iOS. I wonder what took you so long to publish just another generic iOS browser, and expected to see at least some innovation. I may have to wait for a full Arc iOS browser instead with unique features.

I love the flexibility of Vivaldi, particularly the workspaces for managing tabs and the side apps. However, it still feels a bit rough around the edges sometimes with screen-sharing issues from side apps and occasional infrequent freezes. But has been serving me well for a couple of months compared to other alternatives.

El navegador más completo y con un equipo detrás que escucha a sus usuarios. Ahora que tienen Workspaces, se convierte en uno de los mejores navegadores enfocados a la productividad. Le resto una estrella porque la sincronización falla mucho y no es completa, y para mí es algo fundamental.

I couldn't imagine that surfing could be so convenient, thanks to gesture control and custom web panels. Reading list and notes allow you not to lose anything. Split screens, screenshot tool and simple task manager right in the browser. At the same time, you can customize a lot of things.

My favorite things about Vivaldi are the speed and keyboard shortcuts. One thing I'm not a huge fan of is that I can't see how many unread messages I have on Facebook in the notification center.

I would like to add a review about Private Browser. Not only does it keep my data safe and private, but it also has fast page loading speeds and a simple interface. It is a great choice for those who want to protect their digital life.

This is a wonderful browser ! I have not seen this level of protection in other browsers. Very much like the ease of use and almost no in data transfer speed. Very comfortable. Recommended
