Vivaldi browser

[The Incredible Boom Boom]

How do you all find the memory usage compared to Chrome (if used before?)

[stardepp]

What do you mean by memory load? How much CPU load the browser needs? ...much less.

How do you all find the memory usage compared to Chrome (if used before?)

One of the first things I did was run them side by side, and I found them pretty similar, Vivaldi a little less.

@psychoadept I am happy for you. I read your post in the Vivaldi Forum. I am stardepp in the Vivaldi Forum. If you like, I can show you more modifications for Vivaldi if you like.

I've found a few, but if there are some you recommend I'll take a look.

If you have a lot of tabs open in Vivaldi, you can put the background tabs in sleep mode to save CPU.

@stardepp- slightly off-topic, but what's the font showing in your screenshot?

[stardepp]

I use the Comic Sans MS font throughout Vivaldi and Windows as well as in MusicBee.

[phred]

Thanks.

[stardepp]

With pleasure.

Same here, I'm using Comic sans MS font as well.

This browser is not bad and I will use it too. I think cybersecurity is very important to users so I also use different protective tools like anonymous ip and proxy. Both helped me a lot to protect my data online.

If you have a lot of tabs open in Vivaldi, you can put the background tabs in sleep mode to save CPU.

The latest release(s?) of Microsoft Edge has the same feature, BTW, and you can set the elapsed/inactive time for tabs to enter sleep mode. There is also a group option for IT administrators. (I'm trying Vivaldi out as well.)

In Vivaldi it is even possible to place a Hibernate Background button on the status bar:



This is made possible by this Javascript modification:

Code

(function () {
  // ============================================================================================================
  // Hibernate Background Tabs Status Bar Button Mod
  //    - made by nomadic on the Vivaldi Forums
  // ============================================================================================================
  function hibernateBackgroundTabsButton() {
    // Config ------------

    // 0 is farthest left on the status bar's right grouping of buttons
    // keep adding 1 to the variable to move it over to the right.
    const HIBERNATE_BTN_POSITION = 1;

    // -------------------

    function hibernateBackgroundTabs() {
      vivaldi.windowPrivate.getCurrentId((currentWindowId) => {
        chrome.tabs.query({ windowType: "normal" }, (tabs) => {
          tabs.forEach((tab) => {
            if (tab.windowId === currentWindowId && tab.active) return;
            chrome.tabs.discard(tab.id);
          });
        });
      });
    }

    // shamelessly modified from @luetage's "Random Theme Button Mod" because I am lazy
    function addHibernateButton() {
      // Check if button already exists before adding
      if (!document.getElementById("hibernate")) {
        let div = document.createElement("div");
        div.id = "hibernate";
        div.classList.add("button-toolbar");

In Vivaldi you can also reload tabs after a certain time interval:
