Vivaldi is a web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Tatsuki Tomita and Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, the latter being co-founder and former CEO of Opera Software. The browser is focused on providing security, customization and a multitude of additional tools to facilitate day-to-day navigation.
Advanced organization with tabs and workspaces
Vivaldi allows you to organize your tabs and workspaces to surf the Internet more efficiently. You can create groups of tabs, and you can also organize them in different workspaces in case you want to keep them in separate places. You can also split the screen to view multiple pages at once without the need to constantly switch between tabs through the Tab Tile feature.
Side panel with essential tools
The Linux-style side panel of Vivaldi is one of its most useful features. From here, you can quickly access tools such as bookmarks, downloads, history, notes and all your open windows. You can even pin websites to view them without opening a new tab. It also incorporates an integrated translation function and a news reader, so you won't even have to visit websites to translate content or keep up to date with the latest news.
Quick commands and shortcuts
If you prefer to control your browser with keyboard shortcuts, Vivaldi offers a wide variety of them. You can open the access menu with a simple key combination and execute actions without moving your hands from the keyboard. You can also customize the shortcuts to your liking, or use mouse gestures to open, close or switch tabs, among many other actions.
Sync between devices
Vivaldi allows you to synchronize data between different devices while protecting your privacy. Unlike other browsers, Vivaldi does not store your information on external servers, but uses end-to-end encryption to maintain your security. This way, you can access your bookmarks, passwords and settings anywhere without worrying about the privacy of your data.
Integration with mail and calendar
Vivaldi integrates an e-mail client. You have the option to manage multiple accounts from a single place without the need to open external apps, and view all emails in the unified mailbox. You can also label and filter emails to avoid clutter in your inbox. In addition, you have an integrated calendar for scheduling events and reminders.
Blocking of trackers and advertisements
Vivaldi integrates an ad and tracker blocker. Both are customizable, where you can block the type of ads you don't want to see. Regarding trackers, you can block the ones you want, or force them all to be blocked. This will improve the loading speed of web pages and prevent third parties from collecting data about your Internet activity. To protect your privacy, Vivaldi also integrates ProtonVPN to surf anonymously online.
Total customization
Vivaldi offers you a higher level of customization than most browsers. You can change the appearance with themes, modify the layout of the menus and even adjust the behavior of the tabs. It also allows you to install extensions from the Chrome Web Store, since the browser uses Chromium as its engine. Finally, you can also take screenshots of an entire web page, or of a specific area of the screen.
Download Vivaldi if you are looking for a web browser full of features and customization capabilities.
