Vivaldi 2.0 is out

[crosscourt]

Vivaldi is significantly slower than Firefox which is an issue for me.

[tlmiller]

The latest build is a huge improvement in speed on every machine I've tested it on.

[crosscourt]

Ive tried it and its ok but still runs slower than Firefox or Chromium. To switch to another browser id have to see a huge reason to do so and so far that hasnt happened. Midori is the fastest browser Ive used so far but it still has some compatibility issues.

[crosscourt]

Its starting to grow on me a bit even though its got a ways to go to convince me to use it more. Using it on the e6420 and performance was good.

[tlmiller]

I think the 2.1.xxxx.51 was a huge step. I could VERY EASILY notice the jump in speed with that version. Yeah, it's still slower, yeah it still does some things just WEIRD, but it's a sizeable improvement from prior builds.

[crosscourt]

2.2 is available thru the MX package installer with MX Linux 18

[tlmiller]

Yeah, very little has changed from 2.1 to 2.2. I actually upgraded to 2.2 a couple weeks ago. They've already released a point release for 2.2 in fact. Hasn't improved performance any in my experience (although hasn't hurt it either), nor has it changed any of the quirks of Vivaldi.

[crosscourt]

It runs pretty well on MX Linux but yes I still dislike many things.

[crosscourt]

ive continued to to try and use it but performance is still an issue with extended use, so really couldnt continue.

Vivaldi froze a couple times last night. used Firefox the rest of the night with no issues.
