## Kitsmith's take

The pitch is customization depth most browsers don’t attempt — tab stacking, tiling, and a built-in note-taker among them — from a company whose stated business model is donations and licensing rather than user data.

## Features

- **Tab stacking and tiling:** Group tabs into stacks or tile them side by side within one window.
- **Built-in note-taking:** A notes panel with screenshot capture, docked alongside your tabs.
- **No tracking, states the company:** “No tracking. No investors demanding your data. Answerable only to you,” per Vivaldi.

## FAQ

**Is Vivaldi free?**
