What Vivaldi users are talking about.

Users overwhelmingly express satisfaction with Vivaldi by directly comparing it favourably to Chrome, Edge, Firefox, Brave, and Opera, citing superior customisation, built-in ad/tracker blocking, and a cleaner UI. This cluster reflects a strong positive sentiment rather than a problem, with users recommending Vivaldi as a replacement for mainstream browsers. The high rating concentration (222 five-star reviews) and recurring competitor comparisons suggest this is a loyalty and advocacy pattern among Vivaldi's core user base.

Users repeatedly report that recent Vivaldi updates have caused severe performance regressions, including freezing, slow tab loading, and unresponsive UI — particularly when many tabs are open.

These issues are especially frustrating for power users who chose Vivaldi precisely for its tab management capabilities and speed.

Users are switching to Vivaldi specifically to escape data harvesting, intrusive AI overviews, and ad-heavy experiences from Chrome, Edge, and other mainstream browsers.

Vivaldi is a good browser that I use a lot. It is my go to browser, but it clues have some annoying issues at times. But I like the focus on privacy & full featured options that are up to user to use or not.
