A free, open source web browser with a focus on privacy, customization, and user experience, featuring tab stacking, note taking, and session snapshots.
Vivaldi is a feature-rich, customizable web browser that places user control and privacy at its core. It is developed by Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by Jon von Tetzchner who was also a co-founder of the Opera browser.
Some key features of Vivaldi include:
Vivaldi also has a strong focus on privacy. It blocks online trackers and ads by default, allows disabling website notifications, JavaScript, and more on a per-site basis. There is also an integrated ad blocker.
In terms of downsides, Vivaldi is still not as well-known or widely-used as browsers like Chrome or Firefox. It also cannot currently be used on mobile devices. However, with its powerful feature set and flexibility, Vivaldi appeals most to advanced users who want a highly customizable browser tailored to their specific needs and priorities.
