It does not include the build systems, V8 (the JavaScript engine), gn (Ninja), PDF viewer, ffmpeg, and many other components necessary to build Chromium. Chromium source only includes the Chromium source. So I went to check more closely what was this huge difference, and I found out.
#VIVALDI BROWSER REVIEW CODE#
More than that, it uses a lot of open libraries and provides its source code for viewing. It offers a lot of new features and makes browsing more productive and fun.

git dir (doh), the correct table is: Browser Vivaldi is the new browser which introduces the next generation of web browsers. So I decided to take a closer look and the size I reported for Chromium source was wrong because I included the. The result for Chromium was 18 713 685, which is still a lot less than Vivaldi. So, it took a while as clog gave some errors about lack of memory for some reason and I had to restart, but it finally finished without errors. I'm now trying to run cloc on Chromium code to see what I get. So I re-read your comment and that's where I spotted the SVN number. So I decided to check the source size: BrowserĪnd this is where I totally noticed that you must have done something wrong, because how can a source code be smaller yet have almost twice the lines of code? The first thing I decided to check was the size of the compiled code on Windows: BrowserĪnd Vivaldi executable was nearly the same size and bin dir was smaller so it was more impossible such discrepancy. The first stable version of Vivaldi, a new web browser by Vivaldi Technologies, was released on Apto the public. Orgīuilding the global movement for the protection of privacy.Īnd I noticed that because at first I thought how impossible it was that less than 20 people wrote nearly 12 million lines of code in 2 years, so I decided to check it myself. by Martin Brinkmann on in Internet, Vivaldi, - Last Update: 87.

#VIVALDI BROWSER REVIEW UPDATE#
An update to the program erased my changes.Dedicated to the intersection of technology, privacy, and freedom in the digital world. I wanted to make the GUI fonts larger and managed to do so for some parts of the GUI, but not the context menus (**). (I really hate "favicons" in tabs and changed about 20 entries in that file before they finally went setting the size to zero).

Firefox is much better in this regard.Īlthough they claim it's "customizable" it's really not customizable at all except thru hacks of a 13,000 line css file ("common.css") which doesn't have any useful comments. There doesn't appear to be any way to move GUI elements around, like moving the navigation buttons ("back", "home", etc) except for putting the tab-bar on the bottom and re-ordering add-on icons. You can select two (or more) tabs and display them side-by-side (or above/under) at the same time. I like everything about it but it can't block ads like ublock origin on mobile so i returned to chrome. It's even unpleasing to use, when I have a competitor like Edge, that has very great performance. On my "open 10 normal websites in tabs" test it uses about 15% more memory than firefox 57, and runs at about the same speed. Vivaldi really lacks UI smoothness that other browsers have. Has a sidebar with bookmarks, downloads, notes, history, which is nice. Looks a bit like the old "opera" before it got bizarre - the main vivaldi guy is an ex-main opera guy. It's based on the google chrome rendering engine. I've been playing with the "vivaldi" browser ().
