| 2024-11-22 |  | | Time to re-review the mobile app now that I love 7.0 on desktop. Tab management is definitely the strongest feature, by having actual tabs (or not, if you want!) and tab groups (called "tab stacks" on desktop for whatever reason). The browsing itself is fast and smooth, as expected—with tracker and ad blocking to boot. My biggest ask is for more desktop features to come to mobile. Especially Workspaces and the feed reader (even if the latter comes in a separate app by Vivaldi). |
| 2024-11-19 |  | | I love Vivaldi! Both desktop version as well as mobile seem to have customizations for *everything*! My only suggestion is to make a quick-access toggle for the make webpages dark. Right now, mobile users have to hunt down the setting in the settings menu to turn it on or off, but it would be really neat to make a toggle for that in the mobile browser menu. Maybe somewhere near, or within "Page Actions". |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | It's a nice app, but when there's a text box you can scroll up and down in it is VERY annoying trying to do so with this app, I'm trying to scroll down in the text box on a site but it keeps scrolling down the whole page instead, it sometimes works but it is quite inconsistent, And I love the idea of having a custom homepage but I can't select any of my gallery apps to pick a wallpaper so there's not much of a point to that feature as of now, if it wasn't for these this would be a 5 star app |
| 2024-11-15 |  | | The latest update restored a function where the address bar prioritizes autocomplete over searching, and I don't like this. This should be an option that can be changed, because I want Enter to Search for what I'm typing, not to go to whatever link the browser thinks I'm looking for. Edit: It is a toggle under Address Bar. It's Prioritize Direct Match. Edit: It broke in the Nov. 13 update. |
| 2024-11-14 |  | | Best browser out there, highly customizable for nerds but easy to use for everyone else, exactly like opera, but it doesn't harvest your information for the Chinese government like they do (they're owned by a Chinese parent company which must give the data it collects to the government), and it has actual features instead of gimmicks. You can change search engines, add wallpapers that change with the time of day, it's great for gaming and productivity, the whole nine yards. I love it to bits. |
| 2024-11-12 |  | | 1. I was looking at a web page when I was interrupted by a nag screen asking me for a rating. Right there because of the interruption you lose points. 2. Now I have turned off notifications for the app as it sends a notification asking me to make it the default browser. Both annoyances. Now why don't you concentrate on product development instead of figuring out ways to annoy people. |
| 2024-11-03 |  | | Not too sure what has been going on with these last few updates. More sites are breaking, becoming unresponsive and I sometimes am forced to reload a page because it's in preview mode after already having filled out a few forms. This was my go to browser but I've had to temporarily swap default browsers. Vivaldi is breaking a lot more sites on default settings. This is even after a reinstall. |
| 2024-10-31 |  | | I love the seamless experience between desktop and mobile. The built-in adblocker works great too (although I wish there were more customizability). The only issue I have encountered was when initially setting up sync. If the search engine set is not a search engine available in your sync settings, the app will crash if you try to change it. A workaround is to change it before enabling sync. |
| 2024-10-23 |  | | Vivaldi is the default browser on all of my devices; I prefer it because it is the most flexible browser that I have ever used. Whereas for many apps, what counts as customization is variable colors and fonts, and for many users an absence of customization and versatility are perceived as simplicity. Because Vivaldi offers much more than the former, and I am not conditioned to accept the latter, and it's free it's much better than the others. |
| 2024-10-19 |  | | So far I've loved this App. It's just as good as the version I used on Linux. Makes me feel at home with the desktop layout, and runs very well. Snappy and responsive, and lots of good customization options. It feels sleek and it has a great interface design. The only thing I wish it had was extension support, but that's hard to do on Android, so I don't blame them. Overall, great Browser. Good privacy features and a team thst seems to care about their users, with decent policies. |
