    Chromium browsers were developed for Android from the get go. Power users will notice that Firefox is a mere app compared to Chromium browsers. Firefox can easily be clunky, heavy, slow. Vivaldi, Lemur, Opera recommend to be used in Android.

    Vivaldi, co-founded by one of Opera's co-founders, is basically what Opera would have been today if they'd kept their focus on making a good browser that works for the person using it instead of working to squeeze out more profit for the conglomerate that owns it.

    It is as powerful, or even more powerful, than the old Opera. It is also created by the creators of Opera.

    Vivaldi was created to be a better version of Opera. It's more private, faster, and has more useful feature.
