About this app

Vivaldi is a fast, private web browser for Android that runs your desktop extensions. It doesn't profile you, doesn't sell your data and blocks ads and trackers. No AI, no ad business, nothing to gain from watching what you do.
A full desktop-class browser, built in Europe by an independent company.

Ad and Tracker Blocker, your way
Choose how much of the web gets through: Off, Light, Strong or Aggressive. Pick a level when you set up Vivaldi, then change it for any site from the Shield icon in the address bar. Keep your bank on Light so every form works, and put video sites on Aggressive. Vivaldi remembers each choice. Build custom levels from your own block lists, and see what was blocked in the Privacy Report.

A browser with a built-in VPN
Tap VPN in the main menu and your browsing runs through a secure, encrypted connection. Websites see a VPN server instead of your IP address. It's free with your Vivaldi account, with no separate VPN app to install. The VPN covers browsing in Vivaldi, not your other apps.

Private browsing that leaves nothing behind
Private tabs keep searches, visited sites, cookies and temporary files off your device for true incognito browsing. Cookie banners are dismissed for you. Copy Sanitized Link strips tracking from links before you share them. Browsing data can clear itself every time you exit. We don't track you or sell your data, and the Data safety section on this page shows it.

The extensions you already use
What you rely on at your computer works on your phone. Keep Desktop site on while browsing the extension store. Not every extension is built for mobile.

A desktop browser in your pocket
Two rows of tabs, Tab Stacks you can group and expand, and a Tab Bar built for tablets and large screens. Long-press a link to open it in the Tab Stack you choose. Desktop Mode, a built-in PDF reader, Reader View and private translation in over 100 languages.

Fast, and made for your phone
Pages load fast without the ads and trackers that slow them down. Every tab playing audio shows up in your phone's media controls. When a page works better in its app, tap Open in app and your tab stays where you left it.

Personal and in sync
Speed Dial folders, themes, layouts and 20 app icons. Switch search engine mid-typing with a nickname: "d" for DuckDuckGo. Vivaldi is also a desktop browser for Windows, Mac and Linux, and bookmarks, notes, tabs and passwords sync with end-to-end encryption.

Been testing this out to compare with Firefox since it's missing a few features I want. I'm impressed with how well it handles websites when my phone Android computer is plugged in to a secondary display, it's a bit glitchy with some web apps but much better than Firefox. I also love that the ad blocker is built in. I've been done with Google Chrome for a while cuz of the trashy ads experience, but trying to figure out how alternatives compare. The UI could use some work, but it's decent.

Hello. Thanks for testing Vivaldi and for the thoughtful comparison. Glad the external display handling and built‑in ad blocker work well for you. We appreciate the UI feedback and the notes about web app glitches. Please spread the word if you like Vivaldi, and consider updating your rating to 5 stars if we’ve earned it. - Vivaldi Team

As much as I enjoy this app along with the desktop browser, I will not understand how or why in the world the devs thought that the mobile version overrides your pre-existing "open in app" settings, e.g. trying to open Twitter/X links elsewhere doesn't open the corresponding app, but in the Vivaldi browser. It is pretty gotdang annoying. EDIT: Also, the Ad and Tracker Block has turned off and I am unable to reactivate it, for whatever reason.

Hello Dominic, sorry for the trouble. Please turn off “Stay in browser” to let links open in their apps. For blocking, check the default blocking level in Vivaldi’s settings. If you still cannot reactivate it, please share your device details on forum.vivaldi.net. - Vivaldi Team

Dunno what happened with one of the updates, but when I chose to Customize my start and selected a background, the app crashed... and keeps crashing. Cleared the cache, nothing. I'd really hate to have to clear the data cause I had some 20 tabs with random. Please fix this issue or at least give me a workaround that'll let me save the tabs. Update: never really recovered my tabs, had to dig around history. At least the app has gotten better, also alike to the desktop version.
