Powerful. Personal. Private. It’s a web browser. But fun. It comes with a bunch of clever features built in. It’s super flexible and does not track you. Get the Vivaldi browser for desktop, mobile, and your car!

New @Vivaldi release. Plenty of good stuff in here. The Feed Reader got special attention this time.

When you go to a page that provides a feed, you can click the feed reader icon in the address bar to follow it.

You can follow news sites and blogs, but did you know that you can follow Youtube channels as well?

With this update, you can now follow subreddits and users on Reddit, as well as repository releases and commits on GitHub.

Enjoy!

This is why I like Vivaldi. They make the same pointless UI changes that everybody else does, like randomly making the menus huge, but they let me change it back.

Love working with tabs? Then you’ll love this: a Memory Saver that automatically puts your inactive tabs to sleep, so you can experience faster and smoother browsing!⚡

Our built-in Feed Reader now lets you follow feeds on sites like Reddit and GitHub. You can now curate your very own news feed with your preferred content. 📰

@Vivaldi Happy release day. 🥳🎈🥂🍾🎉🎊

ZaffreHue,

@Vivaldi I just wanted to take the chance to say how much I love the Vivaldi browser. I just stumbled across it one day by chance some years ago and since then, it's been my browser of choice on my laptop and my phone. Not only do I love all of the customization options, but what the beliefs of the Vivaldi team and they stand up for make me love the browser even more. The fact that you guys are so user-oriented and anti-cryptocurrency and against AI earns so much respect from me. I will continue to use Vivaldi and recommend it to everyone I know! Absolute favorite and love it so much 💝

I have been using @Vivaldi for a few hours since I installed it earlier this morning.

I am beginning to really like the and also the side bar on desktop. Easy access to all important features.

Keep up the great work @Vivaldi and devs

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!

Yey YouTube ads!

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)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E00sqFtAirI

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).

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!

@AAKL @jon @Vivaldi I have a 3 year old mid level Android with 90 tabs open in Vivaldi and its running super fast, zero crashes and almost everything renders perfectly. It is weird how well it works plus you can give the ceo and devs hell here on Mastodon and they will listen. Dope company.

It’s time to start using a privacy focused browser! 👩🏻‍💻🔐

The EU’s Digital Markets Act (DMA) is forcing Apple to give users a default browser choice.

Which default browser did you pick and why? 💻

Pro tip to those using the Phanpy mastodon web client and the @Vivaldi browser - it works GREAT as a side panel

In the last @Vivaldi snapshot we started offering Windows ARM packages as a technical preview.

https://vivaldi.com/blog/desktop/memory-saver-and-compact-menus-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-3329-7/

Some users have asked why now? Why did we wait for Google before we offered these. Microsoft has had native versions of Edge for a long time.

Well… DRM ("Digital Rights Management"). DRM is stupid for a multitude of reasons but today's example is that DRM in browsers is handled by binary components created by only a handful of companies, who have enough industry influence that media websites will accept and support their systems.

A hardcore group of Vivaldi users have actually requested native Windows ARM builds for years: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/627245 However sadly they had to wait for the bigger players before we could offer a native (and thus faster) version of our insanely configurable browser. Normally we always take the lead directly from our user requests and would likely have made this available quite some time ago, even if market forces are not present.

[Indeed there is a reason why Vivaldi's first slogan was, "A browser for our friends". It sounds like marketing hype but we are very user lead. If users want something and we can accomodate we try.]

@ruario@vivaldi.net avatar

@Vivaldi I just want to expand a little on this because we also have Linux ARM builds and have made them available for quite some time. Also these packages require manual intervention to get DRM to work (the user has to fetch their own copy of Widevine from ChomeOS) and replace one of our bundled libraries to have working Netflix. Why did we put these out when all sites do not work well out of the box but waited with Windows ARM build?

• Linux users are less likely to care about proprietary sites and media
• While not straightforward, Linux users can make this work and are more likely to be willing to tinker with things to get there

On Window, our users obviously expect all media sites to just work and would not tolerate a browser where they do not, nor understand why we could not fix it and are reliant on others. Thus it is better to only offer the non native x64 version of our browser, which would actually run on Windows ARM devices (via a built in emulation system). Yes the non native version would is slower but all major sites work out of the box.

Once Widevine DRM became readily available (for ARM) users can get the best of both worlds, the fastest browser possible (because it is native) and all websites work as expected including popular media sites.

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.

Made a small update to my @Vivaldi mod. It adds some drop-shadow to active tabs (including tabs with background audio) making them even more visible and it adds a nice little transition.

You can still get it here:
https://github.com/saschadiercks/vivaldi-ui-mods

A small transition when tabs are changing states of being active or not.

VIVALDI has taken the so-called 'social networks' in a new, strong and diverse direction. A healthy surprise. I hardly believed it, I found it by chance, and here I am.

Congratulations.

Today I tried to convince a colleague to switch from brave to @Vivaldi as his main browser. On monday I'll check if I was successful and otherwise poke him again and show him some more tricks that browser is capable of doing (until he finally gives up 😉 )

Was helping a friend with some computer thing today and noticed Brave now has a nice big ad for turbo tax slapped on its start page along with that controversial VPN move they made a whiles back...Advised them its probably time to start moving to @Vivaldi who's business model doesnt require shoving ads in your face or sneaky VPN services into your OS.

Brave was such a cool idea I used to think, but as with pretty much every half decent idea that makes use of "crypto" it went to shit real fast.

@sapient@mas.to avatar

@nathan @Vivaldi

Personally I love looking at vivaldi's start page, because as I think you already knew before posting, its completely customizable.

The ad i saw on brave was literally part of the background and not something like a tile you could remove.

My larger point is that brave has been going down hill with their attempts to make money, first it's a VPN, then ads from tubo tax, now they're shoving an AI into it. Vivaldi on the other hand has been constantly improving.
