Vivaldi 6
Jon von Tetzchner (via Bob Burrough):
At Opera, we were the first to add their search into the browser interface, enabling it directly from the search box and the address field. At that time, Google was an up-and-coming geeky company.

A monopoly both in search and advertising, Google, unfortunately, shows that they are not able to resist the misuse of power.

I feel blocking competitors on thin reasoning lends credence to claims of their anti-competitive practices.
Vivaldi web browser this week pushed out its sixth major release, bringing a new Workspaces feature and custom icons and themes to the highly configurable Mac app.
Similar in functionality to virtual desktops, the new Workspaces feature is designed to further enhance the browser’s powerful tab management by letting users organize tabs by category into separate workspaces and switch easily between them.

Elsewhere in Vivaldi 6.0, the browser’s built-in theming tools have been upgraded to include new Custom Icons, which can be found in the Themes Gallery.
