What @Vivaldi don't say in their release blog post of version 6.7 today: if you use the updated Vivaldi Feed Reader to watch subscribed youtube channel videos, you don't get to see any ads. Not sure how long this will work until Google shuts shuts this circumvention down, but right now if you're sick and tired of youtube ads, just use Vivaldi's feed reader (it's a great browser/mail program for everything else anyway)
Note that if you do that, you may want to consider other ways to support the folks who produce the videos, (which is generally the case with adblocking. There's no such thing as a free lunch. Make sure that people who create things you enjoy get something in return).
This month it is 30 years since I started working on browsers. April 1994 is when Geir and I started working on the Opera browser. We founded the company a year later.
Initially I made the UI, while Geir did a lot of the core.
Since that time I have dedicated myself to making the Web live up to its potential. First at Opera and now at Vivaldi.
If you ever used Opera and you have not tried Vivaldi, I invite you to give us a try!
If you never used Opera or Vivaldi, you are invited as well!
Shout out to Vivaldi browser for showing the link address (bottom left of browser window) when hovering over a text link on a web page. I've been wanting this for awhile now, and just realized it showed up recently.
THANK YOU! #Vivaldi
I am excited and honored to announce that I am now an official Ambassador for the @Vivaldi web browser!
This is a browser I've been using for about 8 months now and absolutely love everything about the browser itself as well as the team that makes it and the community they have built.
I couldn't be happier to endorse a browser that works as great and as quick as Vivaldi!
If you're looking for alternatives to Chrome in terms of which browsers to use on Android, Talk Android has compiled this nifty list of the latest and greatest browsers you can switch to.
✍🏾 The tech writer and journalist, Irene O., talks about how she used our highly customizable Vivaldi browser and its features, like tab stacking, and the built-in Notes and Translator.
📝 It's nice to see writers and journalists alike share their appreciation for Notes, a noteworthy tool built right into the browser. This way, there's no need to switch between apps to jot down quick notes or to add text to an existing note.
📲 It even syncs across devices making it effortless to carry all important notes on your desktop, tablet, and mobile.
The #Vivaldi browser on macOS is still weird. It has so many great features, yet …
It has no concept of custom protocols (abcd:// etc.), and instead of handing unknown protocols over to the OS, it just turns them into broken HTTP URIs.
It has its own settings, but the underlying Chromium's settings are also available.
I could go on. Instead, I'll probably take another look in 2025.
Anyone else using @Vivaldi and finding that the browser freezes when uploading files? Specifically, it won't allow any mouse interaction while uploading. #vivaldi

Vivaldi on Android: How to turn off notifications for a scam web site
Yesterday I started to get scam notifications labelled Vivaldi. Well, actually they were labelled "Vivaldi adminivista.com".
I naturally became worried and wondered if my phone or account had been hacked. I turned off Vivaldi notifications, and the scam notifications stopped coming.
Today Vivaldi suggested that I should enable notifications. I did so, and now the scam notifications returned.
I finally figured out how to stop just these notifications: In Vivaldi on Android, open settings -> web pages -> notifications -> web sites, and look for a likely web site, in my case adminivista.com, open that item in the web site list, and turn off notifications for that web site.
