Sure, too many choices can be overwhelming. But regardless of the number of options, context is paramount. Context makes decision-making that much easier, especially when the decision has an everyday impact.

And, with the web browser being an integral part of your everyday digital life at work or otherwise, it should be obvious that you're able to make an informed choice and pick from the best options given to you.

❌ However, this isn't the case for most of you.

Our CEO, Jón von Tetzchner @jon shared with Reuters that if you're using an iPhone, you see the list of browser choices only when you select Safari, with no additional information.

"The process is just so convoluted that it's easiest for (users) to select Safari or potentially some other known name." - Jon.

🇪🇺 This has prompted the European Commission to start a non-compliance investigation against Apple, in light of the recently enforced DMA (Digital Markets Act) to investigate whether Apple may be preventing you from truly exercising your choice of services, for example, with their design of the browser Choice Screen.

In response to the European Union's DMA (Digital Market's Act) Apple’s current Choice Screen design is flawed as they look at it very narrowly, per platform and country.

We think priority should be given to cross-platform browsers.

The main browser choices should be visible and we aren't. Quality matters and we should be on the list for all countries.

But like any great recipe, sometimes the ingredients don't quite blend as intended.

After the release of Vivaldi 6.6 on Android, our efforts to unify menus and toolbars led to unintended consequences.

When it comes to the growth of a company or product, it's both crucial and beneficial to remember the lessons learned from past blunders.

Take one Tech Giant's finger-pointing incident, for instance, where blaming their product users for a design flaw backfired spectacularly.

With Vivaldi, we take a different approach. Dive deep into how we prioritize feedback from people using our products and empower you to tailor your browsing experience to your unique preferences.

We believe our tech shouldn't dictate your browsing experience; it should adapt to you.

So, whether you're a minimalist or a power user, Vivaldi has something for everyone.

Hi everyone, where do we start?

The Home button and Panel button are back on Android!

After the release of Vivaldi 6.6 on Android we got to see first-hand how much you care about your browser. You raised your voice and shared your opinion with good reason.

We made a mistake.

You made it clear to us that the removal of the Home and Panel buttons, for those with the address bar at the bottom of your screen, was not something you wanted.

That's why, as of today, both buttons are back.

Our mission is to build a browser that adapts to you, and to do this we rely on feedback from everyone who uses our products.

So to everyone, thank you for making us better ❤️

Ever felt the frustration of not being able to move your bookmarks between browsers, especially on your iOS or Android device? Well, it’s a common headache for most.

Why? Well, blame it on the rules set by iOS and Android. With some serious roadblocks in the way, they’ve made it super tough for browser developers to let you transfer your data between apps and services including your bookmarks.

But hey, it's not all doom and gloom. Our team has been working hard behind the scenes on data portability. We're making strides on desktop, finding ways to make your data play nice with different browsers.

But when it comes to mobile, we're still fighting the good fight. Because let's face it, your data should be able to move with you, no matter where you go or which app you're using.

So, know that we're on it. Because your data? It's yours, and it should stay that way, no matter what.

As of this week, Europeans will be presented with an option that can help make the web a better place. The Browser Choice Screen will be shown when you update your iOS or Android device or when you set up a brand new one.

Vivaldi’s Co-Founder and CEO Jon von Tetzchner @jon, has been pushing for regulation of Big Tech and better user rights for decades. Finally seeing the impact of speaking up and fighting back is a big win. The browser and search engine choice screens are a massive step in the direction of fair competition and granting users freedom to choose.

As the Browser Choice Screen comes into effect, we urge you to consider Vivaldi as your browser of choice. Why?

Because Vivaldi embodies the spirit of independence, innovation, and user empowerment. Unlike other browsers, Vivaldi is not beholden to Big Tech's agenda or profit-driven motives. Instead, we are driven by our commitment to providing people with a browser that adapts to them.

We are committed to your privacy and security. We believe that your online data belongs to you, not to advertisers or third-party trackers.
Reclaim control of your online experience and make a clear statement. When you see the browser choice screen, choose Vivaldi—the browser that puts you first.

Vivaldi Social OGs! 📢

We know you were glad when we increased the character limit here, but did you secretly wish for a bigger editor box for your long posts? 😏

Well, we're granting you your wish. ✨

To change the height of the editor:

  1. Place the mouse cursor at the bottom right corner of the text field (just above the character limit).
  2. Click and drag the mouse up or down.

Voilà!

Let’s be honest, many of us like to watch gaming live streams, sports or music videos while browsing.

But if you’re tired of constantly switching between tabs, our Web Panels can be quite a handy tool.

These are web pages you add to the browser for a side-by-side view alongside your current tab. No need to open a new tab, just load your favorite websites as web panels.

🌐 Each site gets a dedicated icon in the sidebar menu, allowing you to open, close, and toggle between different panels effortlessly.

🎮 So go ahead and watch a live gaming feed or live-stream your pet camera to keep an eye on your furry friends while writing an email—without any interruptions to your browsing.

Web Panels are just what you need to check your go-to sites without committing to yet another tab.

🧩 With our new update to Vivaldi 6.6, Web Panels now work more like a regular tab and include page navigation and extended extensions functionality.
