Ad Attribution

We recently found out from our search partners that revenue was unusually low, because the tracker blocker was preventing ad attribution. As the ad markets have changed drastically in recent years, seeing and clicking an ad is no longer sufficient. Ad attribution is needed for us to be paid by our partners. We’re now trying out a fix to see if it will work as originally intended. With this fix ads are only attributed when you intentionally click an ad. This fix will only be tested in our Snapshot builds for now, so if you use Vivaldi Stable you won’t see anything about ad attribution. More information on Ad attribution.

Known Issues

  • No macOS build at this time
  • Auto-update is disabled due to false positives from the new crash logging detect and recover system, resulting in lost sessions. You can still download and install manually but backup first to be sure
