Vivaldi Browser is a freeware, advanced, Chromium-based web browser developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner, the former co-founder and CEO of Opera Software.
This browser is designed for power users, tech enthusiasts, and past Opera users who missed classic Presto engine features. It was developed for users who were disappointed when Opera switched to the Blink rendering engine, removing many of the features and capabilities that had made the browser distinctive.
Vivaldi is a browser designed to empower you. It's a throwback to the glory days of Opera 12, bringing back its classic, user-loved features while pushing the boundaries with innovative new tools. A smooth, easy-to-use interface is available, enhanced by a dynamic color scheme that responds to the currently viewed website. This delivers a more immersive, personalized browsing experience while granting access to powerful customization options you value.
Vivaldi's extensive customization features truly set it apart, making it the most personal browser on the market. It empowers you to tailor the browsing experience to your exact preferences. From quick styling updates such as background color and theme to precise control over address bar and tab positions, every section of the interface can be personalized. You can even design your own start pages, transforming a blank tab into a hub that reflects your unique style and workflow. This level of control ensures your browser isn't just a tool, but a reflection of you.
Vivaldi Browser Features:
- Customize every aspect, including the placement of browser tabs and the address bar.
- Adapt the interface as you browse — The browser's color scheme automatically adjusts to match the site's visual design.
- Tab Stacks – Create tab groups by dragging one tab onto another, making it easier to keep your workspace organized.
- Spatial Navigation – Explore any spot on a webpage through simple keyboard-based movement.
- Page Tiling – Arrange pages side by side to compare multiple pages simultaneously in your web browser.
- Web Technology – Vivaldi Browser interface combines web technologies such as JavaScript and React with Node.js support and a large pool of NPM modules.
- Write Notes on the Go – Jot down notes and include screenshots of web pages directly within the browser’s Notes feature while browsing.
- Quick Commands – Manage open tabs, bookmarks, history, settings, and more in your browser from one central location.
- Always in Sync – Your bookmarks, passwords, and settings are securely in sync. Synchronize your bookmarks, browsing history, passwords, and settings across multiple Vivaldi installations using Vivaldi's encrypted sync service.
- Vivaldi Browser includes a Qwant search engine that respects your privacy
