What Vivaldi Browser is and who it suits
Vivaldi Browser is the Android version of the Vivaldi desktop browser, aimed at people who already use Vivaldi on a computer and want the same setup on a phone. The listing says it is built in Europe by an independent company with no advertising business.
Ad and tracker blocking are part of the browser rather than add-ons. The listing also says some links open through eBay Partner affiliate links, which can earn the developer a commission on qualifying purchases made from sites opened in Vivaldi.
Blocking ads, pop-ups and trackers
The built-in Ad Blocker removes ads and pop-ups, and the Tracker Blocker stops companies from following you from one site to the next. The listing describes the Ad Blocker as free and built in, with nothing to install or configure.
A Privacy Dashboard, opened from any page, lists what was blocked on that page. Cookie banners are dismissed automatically.
Private tabs, cookies and clearing browsing data
Private tabs keep searches, links, visited sites, cookies and temporary files off the device. WebRTC leak protection hides your real IP address from sites during calls and similar connections.
Browsing data can be cleared automatically each time the browser closes, and you choose which kinds of data are included.
Desktop extensions, Desktop Mode and sync
The Android browser runs extensions, so add-ons you use on desktop can be used on the phone. The listing notes that not every extension works on a mobile browser, and that the Desktop site setting should be on while browsing the extension store.
Bookmarks, notes, open tabs, saved logins and passwords sync with the desktop browser for Windows, Mac and Linux. Sync is end-to-end encrypted and protected by an encryption password that only you know. Desktop Mode loads full desktop versions of sites.
Tab stacks, speed dial, reading and everyday tools
Tabs can be arranged in two rows and grouped into two-level or accordion stacks, and a Tab Bar is offered for tablets and large screens. Speed Dial keeps frequently used sites in folders on the start page, and search engine nicknames such as d for DuckDuckGo or w for Wikipedia switch engines while you type.
Reader View strips a page down for reading, Page Capture takes full-page screenshots, and a QR code scanner is included. A built-in PDF reader opens PDFs, or they can go to another app. Vivaldi Translate handles pages in over 100 languages through Lingvanex, and a download manager supports external downloaders. The browser also includes Vivaldia, an arcade game.
What's new
Other news:
- Copy sanitized link to remove tracking parameters
- Open links directly in one of your stacks
- Better media controls displaying all your tabs with audio, for easier switching
- Open in app if you visit a site for which you have an app on your phone
