    Well, there are many things the team behind this browser is doing them right like: -no AI at all; -there is VPN, but unlike many other browsers, this one has a VPN extension that comes from a reputable VPN company and the cherry on top is that you can actually remove the VPN by uninstalling the extension; -no Google Search by default,you get Startpage wich uses the same search results from Google, but more private; -the mobile version supports extensions and I haven't experienced any Chromium...

Comments and Reviews

   
Comment summary: Vivaldi is praised for its high customizability, innovative features, and compatibility with Chrome extensions. While many users commend its UI and performance, others criticize its speed, frequent updates interrupting workflow, and concerns over privacy due to a lack of open-source transparency. Users find Vivaldi excellent for tech enthusiasts but potentially overwhelming for beginners. Despite its strengths, it faces competition from Firefox and Brave, especially regarding privacy features.

I have all of the "popular" browsers on my laptop. Nothing compares to Vivaldi. Nothing. It's the browser that Opera always wanted to be, and other browsers just can't touch it. Highly recommended.

You just haven't used browsers that don't suck.

So Choomaque wrote this in March '24 and says the browser sucks but in comments below dated July 24 he's apparently still using Vivaldi, or was until he uninstalled it.

I seriously think this guy's just trolling.

Funny you would tell this, Vivaldi is created by the original creators of Opera before being sold. Vivaldi tries to bring back old Opera features missing from the current one.

I gave it a try due to the hype, I was disappointed. It has way too much bloatware for me, and after taking a closer look it's not as privacy focused as I'd like either. It also appears that the whole Vivaldi app is just a chromium extension with some APIs and permissions. I get that the point of that is to enable all the customization, but it's incredibly slow, not for me.

There are aldo the down sides like: -this browser is not open-sourced, while the platform on top of wich is built is open-source, the added code that makes Vivaldi is not, it's propritary; -this browser may seem advertised as privacy focused until you have a look on Privacy Tests and see it's as private as Chrome, Microsoft Edge and Opera by default.

The only browser I like

I've been using this browser for years now, and it is absolutely amazing in almost every way. Just about every feature you could want or need is there. It also manages to be fast and reliable despite the bulk. I have very few complaints about it, just a few bugs here or there, but nothing grave. Plus, of course, the stance on privacy and the browser's country of origin gives me the confidence that it's not going to abuse my data.

I started using Vivaldi after being away for some years. It looks and feels pretty light and stable.

What is Vivaldi?

Vivaldi is extremely customizable, presenting a wide range of settings and built-in features designed to put the user in control. Vivaldi removes the data harvesting code from Chromium before introducing it into the browser, so the users will enjoy a private experience. The use of the Chromium-based engine makes Vivaldi fast and compatible with most Chrome extensions.

It is available for Android, iOS, Linux, Windows, MacOS, Chrome OS, and Android Automotive OS.

It includes fully customizable web browser behaviours, mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts, Quick Commands, the usual unlimited Speed Dial page, notes that can also be synchronized with other devices, a webpage screenshot tool, a panel for displaying and managing bookmarks, history and many others, where users can also add their own web panels; the ability to edit the browser theme and toolbars by moving or removing buttons from the interface, moving the tab bar to the side or and/or the address bar to bottom of the window; powerful tab management with tab stacking, tiling and the windows panel, and many others…

Vivaldi offers a built-in ad-blocker and partners with DuckDuckGo icon DuckDuckGo for the tracker blocker. There is also support for blocking cookie banners https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-crumbles-cookie-dialogs-raises-privacy/ with the help of a popular extension named I don't care about cookies and Easylist Cookie List.

A Vivaldi account gives access to the browser data sync, the Vivaldi Community icon Vivaldi Community, support forums, and Vivaldi Mail icon Vivaldi Mail.

It's considered the spiritual successor of the original Opera icon Opera browser before the complete rewrite that scrapped many of its features and options, and the move of the ownership of Opera Software to a consortium of Chinese investors. Vivaldi Technologies was founded by the co-founder and former CEO of Opera, Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, and Tatsuki Tomita.
