Unlike most browsers, which mainly tend to stick to helping you browse the Internet, Vivaldi gets into a few other zones. It is when you start looking beyond that slightly familiar surface that the differences start leaping out at you. All of which might make you wonder what the fuss is about really. Pretty standard stuff, and there is no dramatic change in browsing speed or anything. You can bookmark pages you want to visit more often, open tabs, keep an eye on downloads, and so on. You download the browser - it is available for Mac and Windows - and then type in URLs or Web addresses to visit different websites.

On the surface, Vivaldi seems pretty much like other browsers. While this does make life simpler for most users, who are spared the agony of choice, this tendency to go with the 'browser flow' also means that they miss out on some impressive Internet browsers that exist beyond this quartet.

This is borne out by browser usage statistics - these four browsers account for more than 90 percent of the browsers used by people on computers around the world as per Global Stats. A few might venture into the Firefox zone, but by and large, it is rare to see most folks go beyond this quartet. When it comes to Web browsers on computers, most of us tend to take the road most travelled, sticking to Chrome, Edge, and Safari.
