In case you forgot, Opera innovated many browser features—things as basic as tabs and integrated search, not to mention more internal web technologies like CSS.Vivaldi 3.0 brings the browser into the privacy discussion, something on which Mozilla Firefox has generally taken the lead. Vivaldi now matches &nbsp;thanks to&nbsp;a collaboration with the privacy-focused DuckDuckGo search engine; its DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar powers Vivaldi's new privacy feature.The new Android version of Vivaldi, meanwhile, sports many of the desktop browser's tools, including Panels, Speed Dials, Notes, and Capture, in addition to the new tracker- and ad-blocking tools. Vivaldi for Android also takes advantage of end-to-end encrypted syncing of Bookmarks, Speed Dials, saved passwords, autofill information, History, and Notes.The mobile browser features a quick tab switcher, and an optional desktop-style tab bar. Like its desktop sibling, Vivaldi for Android is highly customizable. Both also offer a dark mode, and the window borders take on the dominant color of the site you're viewing.Like nearly all web browsers aside from Firefox and Safari, Vivaldi is based on Google's Chromium code, so you won't likely run into site incompatibilities, since most sites these days target that renderer.Sign up for What's New Now to get our top stories delivered to your inbox every morning.This newsletter may contain advertising, deals, or affiliate links.
