Opera's Ex-CEO Launches Vivaldi 1.0 For Power Users
Opera co-founder and former CEO Jon von Tetzchner on Wednesday launched the v1.0 of Vivaldi browser. Vivaldi v1.0, which is aimed at "power users", is available to download from the company's website for Windows, OS X, and Linux platforms. The Norway, Oslo company has been working on it since 2013. Vivaldi offers a range of features such as support for Chrome extension, Tab Stacks, Rewind and Fast Forward, and built-in support for custom keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures. There are plenty of other handy tools including the ability to check how much data a Web page has consumed in real time.

As far as I know, you can only install Chrome extensions in Vivaldi by typing in the internal extensions page address, enabling developer mode and then manually downloading and adding each extension.
You sure don't know much, then. Vivaldi has an Extensions page (Tools -> Extensions or Ctrl-Shift-E) which has a "Get more extensions" link to the Chrome Store. You install extensions the same way as in Chrome--browse or search the store and click on the "Add to Chrome" button for an extension you want to install. There is no going into developer mode, no manually downloading or installing anything.
The last time I tried Vivaldi, it was a crashy and buggy mess.
Cool story. Given this is the very first 1.0 release, whatever you used was Beta quality at best, as in a not-finished product. How about taking the three minutes it would take to install Vivaldi v1.0 and educate yourself? Or are you the same pathetic troll that keeps saying "Oh yes, I have recently installed [alpha quality] Servo browser and it is crap! utterly crap! and will never amount to anything!"? Vivaldi is a very usable and fast browser. It's also very flat and closed-source. But it's worth checking out if you're not completely satisfied with your current browser.
