Browse with powerful built-in tools, unmatched customization, and robust privacy. Enjoy ad/tracker blocking and secure data sync across all your devices.
Norwegian browser packed with built-in tools and deep customization, adding ad and tracker blocking plus encrypted sync across all your devices.
Vivaldi Browser packs a workspace into a browser: a built-in mail client, calendar, feed reader and notes sit next to tab tiling, stacking and workspaces. It is built for people who want to shape the browser around how they actually work, and it blocks ads and trackers without asking you to install anything first.
Vivaldi runs on Windows, macOS, Linux and Android, and syncs bookmarks, passwords, notes and open tabs with end-to-end encryption. Command chains bind a sequence of actions to one shortcut, web panels dock any site to the sidebar, and mouse gestures, pop-out video and page translation come as standard rather than as add-ons.
Key benefits:
- Mail, calendar and feed reader built in one unified inbox, no extra apps
- Tab tiling and stacking workspaces that keep hundreds of tabs navigable
- Ad and tracker blocking enabled by default, no extension required
- End-to-end encrypted sync bookmarks, passwords, notes and tabs across devices
- Command chains bind a sequence of browser actions to a single shortcut
- Deep customisation themes, layout and keyboard shortcuts down to the detail
- Algorithm-free feed reader a news feed you assemble, not one served to you
- No profiling the company states it does no profiling and no data mining
Vivaldi is developed by Vivaldi Technologies AS, headquartered at Mølleparken 6 in Oslo, Norway, with a development office in Reykjavik. Its own privacy policy places the servers the browser checks in with in Iceland, so both jurisdictions sit inside the EEA and under the GDPR. The browser is free of charge, funded through search and bookmark placement rather than through user data.
