Vivaldi Browser - Fast & Safe

Vivaldi Technologies

About this app

We’re building a fast, ultra customizable browser that prioritizes your privacy (not our own profit). An Internet browser that adapts to you, not the other way around. Vivaldi browser comes packed with smart features including desktop-style tabs, a built-in Ad Blocker, protection against trackers, and a private translator. Browser options like themes and layout choices help you make Vivaldi your own.

Personalized Speed Dial

Browse faster by adding your favorite bookmarks as Speed Dials on the new tab page, to keep them one tap away. Sort them into folders, pick from a bunch of layout options, and make it your own. You can also switch Search Engines on the fly using Search Engine Nicknames while typing in Vivaldi’s Address Field (like ""d"" for DuckDuckGo or ""w"" for Wikipedia).

Tab Bar with Two-Level Tab Stacks

Vivaldi is the world’s first browser on Android to introduce two rows of mobile browser tabs. Long-press the New Tab button & select “New Tab Stack” to check it out! Choose between using a Tab Bar (which works great on larger screens and tablets) or a Tab Switcher to manage tabs. In the Tab Switcher you can quickly swipe to find open or private tabs and tabs you’ve recently closed in the browser or have opened on another device.

Genuine Privacy and Security

Vivaldi doesn’t track your behavior. And we try to block other trackers that are trying to follow you around the internet. Keep your Internet browsing history to yourself with Private Tabs. When you use private browser tabs, searches, links, sites visited, cookies, and temporary files won't be stored.

Built-in Ad- & Tracker blocker

Popups and ads are among the most annoying things about browsing the Internet. Now you can get rid of them in a few clicks. A built-in Ad Blocker blocks privacy-invading ads and stops trackers from following you around the web - no extensions needed. P.S. Ad Blocker and pop-up blockers also make your browsing experience faster and safer.

Smart Tools 🛠

Vivaldi comes with built-in tools, so you get better app performance and spend less jumping between apps to get things done. Here's a taste:

- Get private translations of websites using Vivaldi Translate (powered by Lingvanex).
- Take Notes as you browse and sync them securely between all your devices.
- Capture screenshots of a full-page (or just the visible area) and share them quickly.
- Scan QR Codes to share links between devices.
- Use Page Actions to adjust web page content with filters.

*The search experience will be provided by Microsoft Bing.

Vivaldi is also available on Windows, Mac, and Linux! Pick up where you left off by syncing data across devices. Open tabs, saved logins, Bookmarks and Notes seamlessly sync to all your devices using end-to-end encryption and can be further secured by an encryption password.

Ratings and reviews

Unfortunately moving on. I've been using Vivaldi for a few years now across devices. However, over the last year, multiple unaddressed issues. The ad block is very spotty. Tabs jumble themselves until all mixed up, specifically in tablet mode on Z Fold, and have to tap below links instead of on them half the time. It lost my passwords at one point WITH synch on (had to use an old device on older OS to retrieve some). And lately, has a habit of refusing to connect to synch at all.

I want to love this app. It's the only browser that syncs to desktop & lets you do everything you need at the bottom (swipe b/w tabs, go forward, search, switch tabs, open new tab) without needing the top of the screen. There are some flaws. I'm editing this review after they fixed issues I had, but the main one still is that you can't move the address bar to the bottom without losing the forward button. If they can make that happen, it's a 5 star app.

Been testing this out to compare with Firefox since it's missing a few features I want. I'm impressed with how well it handles websites when my phone Android computer is plugged in to a secondary display, it's a bit glitchy with some web apps but much better than Firefox. I also love that the ad blocker is built in. I've been done with Google Chrome for a while cuz of the trashy ads experience, but trying to figure out how alternatives compare. The UI could use some work, but it's decent.
