Vivaldi is a fast, ultra customizable browser that prioritizes your privacy (not our own profit). An Internet browser that adapts to you, not the other way around. Vivaldi browser comes packed with smart features. From a focused, minimalist experience to building a command center for life online - we've got you covered.

Is Vivaldi a safe browser?

Vivaldi is considered a safe browser. It features built-in ad tracking protection and a dedicated privacy menu. Additionally, Vivaldi lets you enable/disable Google services, hide your typed history, and tweak default website permissions.

Why try Vivaldi?

The best thing about Vivaldi is how customizable it is. You can set the main menu to be a drop-down vertical menu or a horizontal bar, add actions, create or change keyboard shortcuts and mouse gestures for any action, it even lets you stack tabs within tabs in different ways.

What are the differences between Vivaldi and Google Chrome?

Vivaldi and Google Chrome are based on Chromium, both browsers are compatible with most major OS, but Vivaldi is not available for iPhone while Chrome is. Vivaldi is much more customizable and comes with built-in anti-tracking by default.

Who owns Vivaldi?

Vivaldi was launched in 2015 as a Chromium-based browser aimed at power users, developed by the creators of Opera. Vivaldi continues to be employee-owned with headquarters located in Oslo, Norway.

What are key features of Vivaldi?

  • Full-on user customization of how the browser looks and works
  • A pause button in the status bar for pausing all media and site activity, saving system resources.
  • Take screenshots of full web pages or a selection of the screen and save it as either PNG or JPEG.
  • Built-in ad blocker and tracking protection.
  • Lets you disable website images entirely, or only show the ones already cached on your computer when using slow connections.
  • Compatible with RGB effects from Razer Chroma and Philips Hue.
  • Chromium-based so it is compatible with all Chrome extensions, if you need them.

Features

New and improved tab functionality, reader mode and a smart-home lighting integration. With each update we continue on our mission to shape the world's best user-centric browser.

Quick Commands

Are you a keyboard person? Then you're in luck. Quick Commands allow you to quickly search through various settings, history, open tabs, bookmarks and more with a single keyboard shortcut. We aim to make the Quick Command menu highly customisable, allowing you to make your own commands and run them quickly.

Notes

Take notes while browsing and add screenshots right in the handy Notes panel. The notes will automatically remember which site you were browsing at the time and allow you to add tags, to easily organize and find them later.

Speed Dials

All of your favourite sites easily accessible from one place. You can also create multiple Speed dial groups. Organize your sites based on interests such as Sports, News and Tech, or different context such as Work, School etc. It's also possible to add a folder as a Speed dial entry. It's a pretty powerful feature.

Tab Stacks

Too many unorganized tabs can become a bit messy, making it hard to find the tab you are looking for quickly. Organize your tabs using Tab stacks! It lets you group multiple tabs under a single tab. Just drag a tab over to another for easy grouping.

Built on Web Technology

Vivaldi has a powerful feature set, but thats not all. One of the things that makes Vivaldi unique is that it's built on modern Web technologies. We use JavaScript and React to create the user interface --- with the help of Node.js, Browserify and a long list of NPM modules. Vivaldi is the web built with the web.
