Even reinstalling Windows on the same system will likely generate the same ID allowing MS to track you between installs and instances. You cannot reset it by clearing Edge, resetting your profile, any anti finger printing techniques won't hide it from Microsoft. This Hardware id cannot be altered and is based entirely on your system. The others all generate software-based IDs. Of the browsers tested in the paper (Edge, Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Brave) Edge was the only browser that generated a unique HARDWARE tracking ID. So, if I was not clear enough before let me reiterate. I naively assumed that since I linked a video talking about the differences between the browsers and stated where to find the research paper that my criticisms are based upon people might actually watch or read them. The context menu having heavily used functionality (like copying a image address, or the inspect option) in sub-groups only by default is a perfect example for this. The "hilarious" part was mostly based on the fact that you effectively have to customize some parts of it, just to get back to the productivity level you have with other browsers out of the box. Just like the image options are in a sub folder by default, but unchecking the "Show as sub-folder" option actually works for them, unlike the dev tools, that still display as a sub-group only.Īlso, why is any of this hilarious? Seems an oddly acerbic reaction to something you can customize yourself to make it how you want. The developer tools option on its own specifically says it's a sub-folder. Maybe if you removed the shortcut setting in the menu it would have the expected behavior?Īfaik outside of canceling a loading process, nothing is bound to the key in the first place and both removing any shortcuts that feature the key or resetting the default values isn't affecting the problem.Īdd individual developer tools options as menu entries. The escape thing is likely from Vivaldi using its own custom shortcut scheme. Overall there are tons of useful features, i just feel like the browser throws rocks in it's own way for some reason when it comes to actually using them. The context menu (rightclicking something) also is not only hilariously useless by default when it comes to performance, because a lot of commonly used options are in sub menus by default - it's also broken in some situations currently, where for example the inspect option is stuck in a sub menu, despite selecting to ungroup it in the settings. Notifications in any other browser also open up the targeted page (like my Reddit inbox) when i click them, while in Vivaldi for some reason they just vanish. I'm playing a lot via game streaming like Stadia for example and Vivaldi is literally the only browser that i can't use, because the esc key instantly closes fullscreen - while you need to hold it to close fullscreen in any other browser.

Mostly because a lot of things that work out of the box in literally any other chromium based browser (Edge, Chrome, Brave, hell even Yandex.) for some reason is creating issues on Vivaldi.

Used Vivaldi again since the new update and while the speed definitely improved to the point where it's "fine", i'm still not sure if i keep using it.
