Anyone use this browser? I'm more of a Firefox guy but the features of Vivaldi sound pretty interesting, would love to hear some feedback and opinions about it.

I use to be FF user, been using Vivaldi since beta and it has come a long way, very stable , mine has never crashed and no issues with web sites being Chromium based, yes I use mine for banking online etc.

Great thing about Vivaldi is the customisation it offers.
