Beautiful web browser with a slew of extra features on top of what's standard with multiple tabs and different tools for private browsing.

Vivaldi is a web browser built on Chromium that includes all of your standard Internet browser features with a few extras.

The Vivaldi web browser is aimed at advanced users, especially those looking for the features which were retired with the old Opera web browser before it become a fork of Chromium

One thing about Vivaldi worth noting is its very different user interface. Though it contains all of the typical features and general layout of other browsers like Google Chrome or even Firefox, Vivaldi has a different color scheme which can be fully customized.

Apart from the different design of Vivaldi, it also as a feature which can organize tabs into stacks. For example, if you have 3 or 4 pages open in Facebook, you can group these tabs together as to not clutter up the screen. You can also click the "Trash" icon and see recently closed tabs.

Accessing settings from the layout of Vivaldi is quick. Although based on Chromium, the settings layout is very different a probably better organized that other browsers. It seems to take a look at past browsers before Google got involved in the web browser business.

Another very useful tool of Vivaldi web browser is quick access to advanced settings, especially site-based. By accessing the "Site Info", you can view details about cookies and management execution permission of JavaScript, ads, etc.

Overall, Vivaldi web browser is an excellent browser based on Chromium which really does offer a rather different look and layout along with some non-standard features.
