Not quite the same since that primarily gives you information about your current Windows version.

March 31 is National Backup Day!
Having a recently created Image Backup that you can rely on,
is the surest way to protect yourself and your system if you should get hit by
CryptoLocker or suffer a Hard Drive failure.Here's a way to make that task easier:

Vivaldi browser

I am using the latest snapshot.
Example of 2 stacked tabs and tiles (Speed Dial and Avast Forum), also Web Panel (YouTube) :

Very nice Chromium/Blink based browser by the founder of Opera.
It supports Chrome extensions natively and Opera extensions can be installed by changing .nex file extension to .crx .

It is basically Chromium version of old Opera with Presto rendering engine.
IMO, Chrome is basic dumbed down browser for regular users while Vivaldi is browser
for power users.
