@Vivaldi Is it recommended to download this and move over from the TestFlight version now?

Vivaldi, (edited )
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@BigJackBrass Yes, we recommend downloading the stable version from the App Store.

richardwarriner,

@Vivaldi I just downloaded it and it looks great. My immediate gripe is that it pauses my Audible book as I open the app. Is that something that can be looked at? None of my other browser apps do it.

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@richardwarriner
Does it happen every time or just the first time you opened Vivaldi after installing the app?
On first run, it's expected as there's a video in the onboarding flow.

richardwarriner,

@Vivaldi That may have been it.

I did exit the app, restarted Audible and when I ran it again it stopped again. It may have still be in the onboarding part.

I have now force closed Vivaldi and repeated the test and it seems to leave the audio playing so I think you can mark this one as a "user error" 👍

@Vivaldi I have the need to be logged in to multiple accounts at the same services. Arc and Firefox support that with features for virtual containers.

Is something similar under development for Vivaldi? Or perhaps already available as a plugin, which would mean that I could switch already today. :)

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

@anders We'd like to support containers, but due to peculiarities in the Chromium code it's extremely difficult to do it.

anders,
@anders@thoresson.social avatar

@Vivaldi I guessed that it was something along those lines, given that Chrome doesn’t have it either. But Arc has solved it, so I keep my fingers crossed for Vivaldi as well. :)

andy,

@Vivaldi Is there currently any similar way to customiise the icon on Android?

Vivaldi,
@Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

Hi @andy!
Unfortunately, there's nothing as easy as on iOS. Some devices should have built in customization options or you can look into third-party apps for customizing app icons.

andy,

@Vivaldi
Many thanks for the reply. Have seen it done in some other Android apps so thought I'd ask. iOS needs some love as they've been waiting for the app for a long time 😛

    Yes, all end to end encrypted. You can learn more here: https://help.vivaldi.com/ios/ios-tools/sync-browser-data-on-ios/.

    @Vivaldi I switched my default browser from the iOS browser to try it out. So far it’s been just OK. I’ve found it is definitely not lightweight and not as snappy. Will keep trying. I want to like it. 🤞

    roguemetahuman,

    @Vivaldi out of beta on iOS. Awesome news. 👏

    @Vivaldi It’s not available on my end.

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @Albertkinng It's normal for new apps to take up to 48 hours to appear, and it will vary by region. You can find it here: https://apps.apple.com/app/vivaldi-browser/id1633234600

    Albertkinng,
    @Albertkinng@mastodon.social avatar

    @Vivaldi Got it! Using it now! How about the private browsing? I don’t see a way to have a private browsing experience. Maybe is hidden somewhere. Anyways if you have it, how private is? Encrypted?

    Albertkinng,
    @Albertkinng@mastodon.social avatar

    @Vivaldi @matt However, it still utilizes WebKit, just like Safari does, right? Or not this time? That has been the issue with all browser alternatives. In the end, they are all essentially Safari with a different appearance.

    seb,
    @seb@androiddev.social avatar

    @Vivaldi are you shipping chromium on iOS, or is it a glorified webview like all other browsers?

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @seb @Albertkinng
    Yes, Vivaldi on iOS is built on WebKit.

    joeo10,
    @joeo10@mastodon.sdf.org avatar

    @Vivaldi @seb @Albertkinng Just keep in mind that although I appreciate Vivaldi for getting a iOS version out, it's very inferior to Safari due to being disadvantaged for that very reason.

    One would hope that the new EU laws (DSA and DMA) would allow third-party browsing engines on iOS down the road and this release is a head start type of move.

    melashri,

    @Vivaldi Great!. But are there plans to add custom search feature?. or is there a way to ask for a new search engine to be added? In such case I would ask for kagi to be added

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @melashri
    You can sync search engines from desktop.

    teach404,

    @Vivaldi plz make it possible to move the adressbar to the bottom

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @teach404
    Adding an option to move the Address Bar to the bottom is in the pipeline.

    mww012,

    @Vivaldi @teach404 that’s awesome to hear. I’m thrilled to see you guys on iOS but I definitely miss having the address bar at the bottom.

    nesl247,

    @Vivaldi can you please add support for custom search engines. Unless I can use Kagi it’s a no go.

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @nesl247
    Have you added Kagi on desktop? You can use Sync to add it to iOS.

    nesl247,

    @Vivaldi nope. I don’t use Vivaldi on the desktop and had no plans to do so unless I liked the mobile app enough to switch.

    @r343l@freeradical.zone avatar

    @Vivaldi Thank you for supporting system text size. Too many iOS apps use their own bespoke way of adjusting text size instead and that often makes me not want to use them at all out of annoyance!

    me,
    @me@joshuastrobl.social avatar

    @Vivaldi Been a real pleasure to use via TestFlight. Looking forward to seeing it evolve over time (and hopefully with some crash fixes 😉).

    @Vivaldi Are you currently planning to go open source? Without that your promises about data protection and privacy can't be believed.

    sapient,
    @sapient@mas.to avatar

    @NewDay14 @Vivaldi It already is m8: https://vivaldi.com/source/

    @sapient @Vivaldi 'Vivaldi browser is part open-source, part closed-source'
    https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-browser-open-source/

    sapient,
    @sapient@mas.to avatar

    @NewDay14 @Vivaldi So was it just a rhetorical question? The UI is not open source, the rest is, Are there parts of the UI you think hinder data protection and privacy by not being open source somehow?

    huydinh,

    @Vivaldi Been using it since early TestFlight (and the desktop version since TP1). Needless to say that I love it. 😅

    Interesting observation on the App Store, btw: For me "Vivald" returns The Right Thing™ on top, but neither "Vivaldi" nor "Vivaldi Browser" do. 🤔

    App Store search for "Vivaldi browser", shows the Brave browser app as the first non-ad result.
    App Store search for "Vivaldi", shows the DuckDuckGo browser app as the first non-ad result.

    ElToro,

    @huydinh @Vivaldi I have the same problem.

    Vivaldi,
    @Vivaldi@vivaldi.net avatar

    @ElToro @huydinh
    Vivaldi is a brand new app on the App Store. It'll take a day or two for all relevant keywords to return the right match.

    @Vivaldi Loved the "thinking outside of the box" and the outfit is immediately Jobs' turtleneck black shirt and jeans 😉

    But I would have loved to see that on the side of that Logitec mouse, you have the Apple mouse upside-down charging with a cable, and also would have been nice to play a pun on "Think different" slogan of Apple.
