      One nice feature of this browser is that the browser itself changes colour to match the dominant colour of the web page your viewing.

          Using it now. So far - excellent. The minimalistic look will mesh very well with Plasma 5 IMO.

          I particularly like how the cookies and site passwords are easily navigated to for review/removal.

            Im liking it too. It seems to have all most of the features I want in a browser and its easy to access and understand the settings. A few more features would be nice, like being able to change my locale. Hopefully that will come soon. Exciting times we live in.

              Just had it lock and crash on me (the browser, not the system)...

                I'm thinking of installing Vivaldi because FF is really slowing down, even with pipelining. Chromium is fast but puts handcuffs on me.

                PS- FF hangs on occasions and sometimes locks up and sometimes crashes, and over time is gradually getting worse. I'm wondering how much this has to do with the closed source DRM code FF has folded into its open source code. They obviously can't check the DRM code

                  Having fun with Vivaldi.

                  But reminds me how insane general web surfing is without an ad blocker.

                    A lot of pages won't finish displaying if the ad servers don't return a completion code to the requested page.

                      Indeed. And that's when I press the 'x' key (VimFx shortcut for close tab).

                      Many many pages won't display for me because I run NoScript in Firefox and ScriptSafe in Chrome. Yeah, I hit the 'x' key, a lot.

                        Having one issue: The Navigation Shortcuts don't have an option to change or remove the Zoom shortcuts which are set at 6-7-8-9. Makes on-line banking difficult to say the least. The tab navigation shortcuts are 1-4 but they're removable in the setting menu.

                            Sadly... this browser is chromium based.

                              Only the open sourced bits. If they fold in the DRM binaries and fail to add user controls that Chromium omits then what would be their point?
