A big update to Vivaldi Beta

Since launching Vivaldi Beta for Android back in September we've been fine-tuning, stabilizing and – of course – listening to your feedback!

Our latest update is live today with a long list of fixes and improvements. Drag and drop Speed Dial links or add/edit them from your Start Page. Swipe to close your tabs from the tab switcher. And much, much more.

As the saying goes, the devil is in the details. And there are details aplenty being polished and added as we continue development on our Android browser so watch this space.

Head to the blog for all the details or get it now on Google Play!

Welcome back,

We're finishing off the year with a doozy of a newsletter. A brand new version of Vivaldi went live right before we hit the send button. Vivaldi 2.10 includes a big change that will make for a smoother ride for everyone using the browser, and a new option to match your browser Theme to your operating system.

Of course, that's not all. These past few weeks our blog has seen a lot of action. Check out the highlights below for our take on the California Consumer Privacy Act, some end-of-year advice for Windows 7 users, new browser tutorials and more.

Happy holidays, have a great break and we'll see you in 2020!

P.S. In case you missed it, earlier this month we also launched a new version of Vivaldi on Android – Beta 2. Get it on Google Play ????

???? Watch Pop-out video more intuitively

Say hello to our first desktop release of 2020! Here's what you can try in Vivaldi 2.11:

???? Pop-out video (Picture-in-picture) is now even better. Launch it with a single click on the small video icon displayed in the center of the video. Also, notice the forward and back buttons – handy for when you watch those playlists.

???? If your operating system is set to dark or light mode, Vivaldi will adapt its default theme to match that on the first install.

?? Like using the keyboard? We've got a unique accessibility feature! Use F6 (and Shift+F6 for reverse order) to cycle the keyboard focus between different areas of the user interface.

Welcome back,

Vivaldi 3.1 is here with Notes Manager, the only full-page note-taking tool in a browser. ??

Our philosophy is to give you built-in tools so that you can browse with more flexibility. Notes Manager is just that.

?? The full-screen Notes Manager feels closer to word processing than to note-taking, a big jump from the original basic note-taking implementation.

?? We sync your notes securely with end-to-end encryption.across desktop and Android devices.

What else is new?

?? Configurable menus are here! Highly requested, they add to the many features that make Vivaldi the most customizable browser today.

Vivaldi on Android

Earlier this week, we upgraded Vivaldi on Android which also offers unique functionality. Get it on the Google Play store. ? ? ? ? ?

Welcome back,

The rise in global internet traffic during the COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated privacy awareness. Today, people are more mindful of online tracking and data collection.

We're proud to build Vivaldi without any privacy-infringing tracking.

The sites you visit, what you type in the browser, your downloads - we have zero interest and zero access to that data.

We don't even track how you use Vivaldi. When we need insight into your favorite features - rather than track you in a creepy way - we ask you directly.

That's how we found out that an overwhelming number of you prefer private search engines.

This week we are highlighting our partnership with privacy search engine Startpage.

?? Startpage is the world's first private search engine, founded in the Netherlands in 2006.

???? Just like us, Startpage is governed by strict European data protection laws giving users world-class search results with zero tracking. Find out more.

?? We encourage you to read the privacy policies of the apps and tools you use. Our privacy policy fits on one page.

Stay safe!

Many great things have happened in difficult times.

?? Shakespeare wrote King Lear in quarantine

Shakespeare''s life, like the lives of many people in England in the early 1600s, was turned upside down by the plague. The plague closed the theaters in London and during this time, he focused on writing his plays, including King Lear.

?? Isaac Newton invented calculus under lockdown

A few years later, Isaac Newton was studying at Cambridge when the university closed because of the Great Plague. He was stuck at home for more than a year and did a lot of work on calculus and optics, not to mention that it was during this time a certain apple fell on his head and informed his work on gravity.

But let's not get too distracted here.

?? During the current pandemic, we're keeping busy at Vivaldi HQ!

On Wednesday, 22 April, we're unwrapping something great!

Mark the date and stay tuned!

Many great things have happened in difficult times!

Today, we are proud to launch Vivaldi 3.0 and Vivaldi for Android. ??

As we navigate the difficult times of the pandemic, we rely on our browser to keep us connected to friends, family and work.

This massive upgrade rolls out robust built-in privacy tools as well as new, unique features on both desktop and mobile.

?? Tracker blocker (powered by DuckDuckGo)

Vivaldi does not track you and now we don't let others track you. Look out for the shield icon to the left of your address field or go to Settings ? Privacy to enable the Tracker blocker.

? Ad blocker

In addition to trackers, Tracker blocker stops the worst kind of ads - the tracking ads. However, if that level of protection isn't enough, choose "Block Trackers and Ads" in Settings ? Privacy.

? Clock (desktop only)

We''ve baked a handy customizable clock into the Status Bar of the browser. Use the countdown and alarm functionality to set reminders to take breaks and as a prompt for future events.

?? Vivaldi officially goes mobile!

With remarkable features and a unique user interface, Vivaldi for Android steps out of Beta! Download the app, rate it ? ? ? ? ? and leave a review on the Google Play store.

Head to the blog for all the details ??

Stay safe!

Hi,

What's your take on 2020?

Us? We reckon it's the year it dawned on everyone that a browser is... everything.

We work in the browser, we collaborate, we communicate. It's where we learn and have fun. It's also where we create and build.

Luckily, the browser we're building is up to the job - a browser like no other.

In 2020, we stuck to our guns and shipped seven desktop and six Android versions. Each update rolled out new customization options and built-in features.

? We worked with you every step of the way - listening instead of harvesting your data. We knew that even though we don't track you, others on the web do. So for Vivaldi 3.0 we partnered with DuckDuckGo for a built-in Tracker blocker and introduced a built-in Ad blocker.

? We stepped it up with fully customizable menus, introduced a full-blown Notes Manager, Break Mode, and polished flagship features such as tabs and spatial navigation. Psst, overall, there are more than 1 million ways to make Vivaldi yours. ??

? We solved issues related to media and playback so that you can stream smoothly. We revisited Pop-out Video adding better controls.

? Vivaldi on Android stepped out of beta! ?? Different from the pack, it adjusts to your preferences and workflow. You can already customize it quite a bit.

? With its awesome support for Linux, Vivaldi continued to grow on this platform. 20% of new installs of Vivaldi on desktop are now on Linux!

? And we kept pushing till the end. In November, we introduced Vivaldi Mail, Vivaldi Feed Reader, and Vivaldi Calendar to our desktop version in technical preview. Test them all here!

What a year!

As our founder and CEO, Jon von Tetzchner put it in his end-of-year message, "2020 has humanized the way of working in entirely new ways, not just at Vivaldi but all over. We've all learned a bit more about humanity while being apart."

Bring on 2021!
