The OP needs to test it. I don't know if it's stable.

I've got installed

Vivaldi	1.0.344.37 (Beta 2) beta (64-bit)
Revision	9ae925ff17ca36e328d999851001d0b9dae32e33

and it seems to be stable, but I'm not using Vivaldi much, so indeed
"it seems to be stable" could mean "it's unstable, if you use it much".

Most of the times I'm using IceCat [1], if I need a sane history I use
QupZilla, since I dislike the Firefox history, because it can't keep
focus, if you found a group of links in a very long history, after you
clicked a link, you need to search the group of links again.

However, while IceCat and QupZilla in my experiences are stable, I
usually use less than 10 tabs, so my work-flow is completely different
to the OPs work-flow.

I'm using both the binary from GNU.org with my Ubuntu Wily install and I
compile it for my Arch Linux. Both are stable for my work-flow, but I
needed to unchecked "Block execution of non-free JavaScript
(experimental)".
