Been test-driving #vivaldi on #macOS and #Linux (I use #Arch BTW). On macOS it works very well, on Linux on the other hand ... it does not have as fluid feeling. It even somehow feels less "smooth" overall as #Firefox or #Chromium on Linux. Yes, I'm nitpicking, but it is what it is.
I can't figure out how to get reader mode in iOS, or to get it read aloud.
iOS does have the Spoken Content, but it's awkward af to get it at a good speech rate.
When I want to have a page read to me, I open it in Safari. Vivaldi is the second alternative browser I've tried. The first time, I reset my default back to Safari, and I may do that again.
Can I be cheeky and ask one more. When I right click to "open link in new tab" is there a way I can stop the new tab from becoming the focus, so I stay on the tab I'm already on?
EDIT - Don't worry, I found it! Super easy to search in settings. 😊
Is Vivaldi, as a Chromium based browser, going to suffer the manifest changes/restrictions that have prevented various extensions, included government recommended adblocking, from working?

As for reading the page content aloud, you can upvote the feature request on https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/68495/read-aloud-feature (ignore the fact that only Android is mentioned in the topic).

Re: Zoom. Go to Settings > Webpages > Default Webpage Zoom and disable "Use Tab Zoom".

We won't know for sure whether there's something we can do about it until we see the actual changes to the code.
In the meantime, we'll continue improving Vivaldi's built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker.
