FastWalk:
Good luck to them.

On the plus side:
A good solution for multi tab and improved session handling is a useful with room in the market for it.
If its new code it will be a fresh start and likely decent or better quality.

Negative:
Most R&D work done in high cost area.
difficult to get traction vs the established solutions.

“In general, we don’t send your data, it’s not our business model.  Our business model is very simple: we do work with Microsoft and Yahoo and don’t work with Google, but we do get paid every time a search is performed. We also have partnerships with eBay, so if someone uses eBay through us we get paid. “

Art, just a re(tired) Fil-Am:
I've practically tried almost every browser available and speed tested them all against Google Chrome and Slim Jet, an off shoot to Chrome and IIMO was faster than all of them.
If Vivaldi is an offshoot of Opera, it may not be as fast as Chrome or Slim Jet.
I've been usung Chrome as my default browser, because my Slim Jet browser seem to have slowed down a bit. When I get the chance, I'll check out Vivaldi and do a speed comparison.
