This week i've mostly been exploring #vivaldi as my primary browser. Performance-wise it's far superior to Zen but the UI really needs some love. Lots of noise, and a lot of things to hide before it feels usable and calm to my monkey mind.

Biggest issue for me is that I cannot separate browsing sessions using workspaces. Cookies and state are shared across both which is next to useless. It seems profiles do allow this but they're only available on startup so I can't fast-switch between work and home mode.

If profiles would have worked for you, have you consider just having multiple installations of Vivaldi? Personally I use standalone installs of Vivaldi, allowing me to have as many as I like.

@jon Thanks for the reply Jon! I wasn't aware of the standalone install option.

I must admit though i’ve got pretty used to having both profiles wrapped in the same browser (from using Arc). I think the mental model of workspaces would tend to assume process/profile isolation, but maybe that's just my model!

Understood. Being compatible with people's expectations is clearly our goal. This one is on our list, but not trivial.

I hope you can make it work for you for now.
