Not tablet touch screen friendly but they will make it so sometime.

Way too complicated for my liking, but yes, it is fast. Good find Doc. 

It doesn't like WindowBlinds.

Perhaps the browser reads the original Windows desktop and not the skin?

Perhaps it simply becomes transparent and you're seeing the color of your wallpaper?

Perhaps the Title Bar is transparent and the minimize-maximize-close buttons don't show.

I like to have a second browser but have become so accustomed to Chrome (which is one I really resisted even trying for a long time) that I've been unhappy with everything else.

Until now, I thought Sea Monkey was the only browser that still supported built in email (and IRC chat as well).

I don't know if I will like this one or not.

I've been using a new browser that I got to test before it was released to the public that is based on Chrome, called Brave. It " automatically blocks ads and trackers, making it faster and safer than your current browser." and I believe only runs on 64-bit systems right now. It has no add-ons or extensions (yet). It's very bare bones and incredibly fast.

Other than that, I've been using Microsoft's Edge as an alternate browser. With the exception of being a real pain in the ass to import my bookmarks to it, I'm pretty happy with how well it runs.

It's interesting how so many of these new browsers are based on Chrome or Firefox. Both must be doing something right. I'm gonna go out on a limb and say they both got burdened down with extensions and add-ons and it will be interesting to see if these new browsers go that route as well.

I wrote about it, Po'. Since it's based on Chrome, try installing a random extension on it and see if it goes. At the worst it won't install.

Brave? If so, I missed it. But I really don't want to put any extensions on Brave. I need at least one browser that is free from all that garbage.

I'm playing with Vivaldi right now. THIS I could get into. Their email and layout is very nice, clean. Once you sign up, you also hve access to your own Blog, a social network to add friends and contacts, and it seems like a lot of other stuff under the hood , so to speak.

CNET has a review on it also with this clip 

" In 2014, when Opera closed its My Opera site for blogs, email, online chat and forums, Vivaldi launched its own community site to pick up the My Opera refugees."

I have to tip my hat to you, Doc. I saw some news items on this and passed them by today until I read yours. Nice find and thanks for posting on it. I think I can really get behind this browser as an alternative if not my new main browser. (I've already come across two other reviews that said they have given up Chrome for this)

It would be nice to see the social aspect of it catch on. Something or anything that's not Facebook is welcome. I tried Diaspora but it's a bit to elite and seems to do better with the Euro market than here in the USA. Then there is Google+. I like it. I like how clean it is and the community isn't as caustic as Facebook, but there are very few people I talk to on FB that ever use it. I had hoped there would have been a bigger migration to G+. I guess people are willing to tolerate the FB's hostile environment and drama queens.

Thanks again for the find, Doc.

Am using it now....so far not unimpressed...

Thanks for this ... and in general. You are a real plus to this community.

I used it daily. For WindowBlinds users,it can opt in to adapt the native MS theme in Appearance tab.  Try that. 

I'd like to test it but if it doesn't play nice with WB......

BTW: Tried the Beta awhile back and was not impressed. IMO Chrome is still my browser of choice.

It doesn't like WindowBlinds.

go to settings  inappearance tick use native window try that. 

That's where it doesn't like WB.

The titlebar of a window becomes transparent and the min-max-close buttons are not visible.

If they can fix that and also have it touch screen friendly then I would use it.

Those points are valid.

There are themes available until then, the light and dark ones.

There are also backgrounds for the speed dial page...several choices.

Also, this is a browser for power users. You have many options regarding the tabs and so on. 

It's well worth reading about and trying out.
