Hi @jon@vivaldi.net

As a technology enthusiast, I’d like to share my perspective on this.

Firefox has been my go-to browser for a while, mainly because of:

  1. Multi-Account Containers: Perfect for managing multiple profiles or accounts seamlessly.
  2. RAM Efficiency: It’s lightweight and doesn’t hog system resources.
  3. Privacy Focus: With its 100% open-source nature and stellar reputation as a privacy-first browser, it’s hard to beat.

Vivaldi, on the other hand, has a special place in my heart for its unique and productivity-oriented features:

  1. Page Tiling: A brilliant tool for working with multiple pages side by side—ideal for multitaskers.
  2. Plain Text/Markdown Notes: This feature is a gem for academic researchers and avid readers like me, making it easy to jot down notes directly from web pages.
  3. Web Panels: Super handy for accessing frequently used sites without leaving your main tabs.
  4. Customizable Dashboard: A lovely productivity hub and a virtual assistant.

A Few Observations

While Vivaldi excels in many areas, there are a couple of things I’d like to highlight:

High RAM Usage: Vivaldi can be quite demanding on memory.
Text-to-Speech Feature: Adding a natural and seamless "Read Aloud" feature would make it even more user-friendly.

Cheers 😊
