One of my main reasons for using multiple browsers is I often print webpages to pdf or to my printer and different browsers have different capabilities when it comes to capturing and formatting the printed output.

That is why I never use the internal browser .pdf reader. I install and use good, ol' Xpdf.

I dont recall having used xpdf - how do you get it to access and print a webpage? I have used wkhtmltopdf but it's a bit long winded.

Vivaldi relased a new version today, 4.3, for both PC and Android. I write this from my Vivaldi 4.3 in tahr64-6.0.6.

BTW; Vivaldi 4.3 plays html5, which my 4.2 complained about not doing in tahr64.

greengeek, this is the window popping up by the Print command in the Vivaldi 4.3 menu. I use this for printing from a website, I mostly use Xpdf to read .pdf files.
