No. It's awful. Even in the host. We recommend not using the 1.0 release of Vivaldi. We haven't seen crashes, but have seen odd behavior outside and inside the SB. More testing needed to see.

As an OPERA user, I think I recall Vivaldi was created by some OPERA employees that left OPERA. Suggest you get OPERA 38, which works great...through Sandboxie 5.10

As it doesn't work with SBIE back to Palemoon...

I think we're going to stick w/ our focus of FF, Chrome, IE (soon Edge) and Opera... and some forks of those. it's not a good use of resources to chase every off shoot. But we do look at them as time permits.

Things change as time moves on, especially when Win 10 is involved.

Well, considering you're using an OS that doesn't receive any sort of MS Security updates, I'd worry about that more than Vivaldi. Google and Mozilla have also stopped support.

As far as i know Mozilla did not stopped . With SBIE, norton and common sense I feel safe. I meant surfing the net with Vivaldi in SBIE is safe or not? SBIE protects me in the same way? As it does with FF and chrome ?

Mozilla stopped at v44.

Vivaldi is not one of the browsers we routinely test. That does not mean it's not safe. It just means it (the browser) may not work well in SBIE and it may crash, become slow, unresponsive, etc.

SBIE does't half protect a browser. It either works, or it doesn't.

As for Norton, well...you're relying on virus def signatures, etc.... On an OS that has not received, nor will receive any security updates. That's something Norton (or anything) can't stop, As you cannot SB an entire Windows session.

We have a lot of people that use XP, but in general...being "safe" in XP is far guaranteed not matter what combinations of software or good common sense you use. There is an elevated inherit risk. Common sense does go a long way.

Thanks great. Minus the risk on a non-updated XP box.
