Why I Picked Vivaldi for My RDP Server

Honestly, I tried Vivaldi out of curiosity. I’d been using Chrome on my remote desktop, but it felt heavy and kinda laggy. Vivaldi surprised meit’s snappy, super customizable, and way more flexible than I expected. You can move tabs around, change the interface, set shortcuts, even take notes inside the browser. For an RDP setup where you want something lightweight but still full-featured, it just works. That’s why I ended up keeping it and writing this guide to help others install it too.

Favorite Things About Vivaldi

I wasn’t expecting to mess with the layout much, but Vivaldi lets you move stuff around like putting tabs at the bottom or shifting the sidebar. It actually made it easier to use on my RDP window.

One thing I didn’t think I’d use was the notes panel… but I did. A lot. It’s nice not having to open Notepad just to copy a URL or write something quick.

Also, I’m a tab hoarder. Vivaldi’s tab grouping saved me. Instead of 20 tiny tabs, I could group related ones together and breathe.

Oh and the custom shortcuts? Absolute time saver. Set a few, and you’re flying.
