Check out the intro video for Neon here (the music also is very cool!). Though I'm not ready to make Neon my primary browser, if this is the future of the browser, it's very cool and promising. This desktop browser is more than just a window to the internet – with Opera Neon, you are in control of everything you see. Tabs and other objects respond to you like real objects they have weight and move in a natural way when dragged, pushed, or even popped. Opera Neon’s newly developed physics engine is set to breathe life back into the internet. Think of this as "Windows" for your browser. Like Vivaldi, Neon has a split-screen mode, allowing you to view two different tabs at once.

Watch videos without distractions with the included pop-out video player. You can crop images right within the browser, snap, and save them to your computer. When you close a tab, it disappears with a poof. Tabs appear to the right of browser pages as bubbles, within the browser. These are updated as you visit more sites. Speed Dial icons appear as individual bubbles that you can move around on the Speed Dial page.

Customize colors ad infinitum, take notes within the browser itself, and so much more. You can stack and tile tabs within a single browser window. Do you prefer the browser tabs placed at the bottom or on the side of the window? Or, a different location for the address bar? Whether it's your keyboard shortcuts, mouse gestures, appearance or a modification to address color blindness, Vivaldi gives you the tools. We adapt to you! With Vivaldi you can customize the browser the way you want. We at Vivaldi believe in making software that lets you do things your way. The world is a colorful place because we are all different and unique. Vivaldi has a great set of features and a wide variety of customization options. Chromium is the same platform underlying Google Chrome, so Vivaldi is compatible with all Chrome extensions. Named after Italian Renaissance composer Antonio Vivaldi ("The Four Seasons"), it's based on Chromium. My browser of choice for the past year or so has been the new Vivaldi browser.
