Thanks for the link! Browsing the source code, I love the author's devotion to make a code commit every single day: https://github.com/OtterBrowser/otter-browser/commits/170f36...
I switched from Vivaldi to Edge because unfortunately Vivaldi become unusably slow for me beyond a certain amount of open tabs (hopefully just a bug they'll fix eventually).
I miss the little search bar for tabs that Vivaldi shows in the vertical tabs view.
And tags on bookmarks. It seems only Firefox actually has them, but Vivaldi has a good enough workaround by way of a comment field for bookmarks.
I wrote a little throwaway script for converting Firefox bookmarks to Vivaldi bookmarks:

Vivaldi UI got significantly faster exactly two times from product inception. First time was a random Taiwanese hacker reverse engineering it, noticing they were resizing _all background tabs_ every time you resized browser window, and sending them a patch https://github.com/WillyYu/vivaldi_1.7. The second time Vivaldi themselves speed up Tab open operation, and only this one operation. "tabs open twice as fast. increasing speed up to 2x" sounds impressive until you measure 400-500ms instead of previous 700-900ms, versus ~16ms in Chrome (one screen refresh).
