On: Vivaldi 2.0 – includes sync, resizable tab tiling,...

[anon92612]

Does anyone know if Vivaldi (and Brave), render HTML/CSS/JS just like Chrome does?

I know they are both based on Chromium, but just wondering if Google adds some "Googliness" to Chrome?

As a web developer, if I just test my sites against Vivaldi, Brave, or other Chromium based browsers, can I guaranteed the rendering will be identical to Chrome? Or is it safer to also test in Chrome?

Also, do all Chrome extensions work on Chromium based browsers?

https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromium/src/+/HEAD/docs/c... suggests that rendering in Chrome and Chromium is identical, so as long as Vivaldi and Brave keep their Chromium updated it should render the same as Chrome.
