I can't say enough good things about Vivaldi browser [View all]

The only very trivial thing I don't like about is, the top bar turns the same color as the web page and sometimes I don't like that. I might be missing how to configure that, if you can. eta: nvm I think I fixed it.

The CEO of the company used to run Opera, so he's trying to recreate it under a new name and make it better. AFAIK you can turn off all the Google-related stuff that people hate. ETA2: I meant Google Chrome's data collection. Sorry.

On a sidenote, this guy is remaking Opera 12: http://otter-browser.org/ It's still in beta.
