Fastmail: We're pleased to introduce our partner, Vivaldi

[emoore]

I have a vivaldi.net account. I don't see any sign of them using Fastmail's Cyrus servers in the Received: headers. It looks like they're using Postfix servers.

They are going to need to offer some seriously killer features to prompt me to even think of switching browsers just for email....

Thanks for saving me the trouble of trying it. That's a deal-breaker for me.

If anyone finds CPU usage is reasonable (e.g. on an M1 Mac with lots of tabs) please pipe up!

And thanks, Berenburger.

I suppose it depends on what you mean by lots of tabs, but I typically have ten or twelve tabs open on my M1 MacBook Pro, and Vivaldi's CPU usage is negligible. Usually it ranges from < 1 percent to around 4 percent. Checking mail can cause brief higher spikes, but I seldom notice them. The only time mail bogs down the whole operation is after installing a new version, when it reloads/reindexes everything.
