Frequently asked questions

• Is Vivaldi free?

  Yes. Vivaldi on desktop is completely free to download and use on Windows, macOS and Linux. Our mobile version is also available for free on Android and iOS devices.

• How does Vivaldi make money?

  We have no external investors to make us do shady things in the relentless pursuit of ever-bigger profits. We don’t track or profile you. We don’t collect usage data. This is how we pay our bills while we make the browser we want to use:

  • Axtarış təminatçıları ilə əməkdaşlıq
  • Əməkdaşların saytlarını seçilmişlərə əlavə etməklə
  • Birbaşa uyğunluq üzərində əməkdaşlıq
  • Maddi dəstək
• Who owns Vivaldi?

  We do! Vivaldi is owned by its staff. We have no external investors demanding we build bad things to boost revenue for them. Our team is multi-national, but we are headquartered in Oslo, Norway, and we have offices in Reykjavik (Iceland), That’s also where we host our servers, where encrypted user data is stored - subject to strong EU rules on data protection, privacy, and data services. And we’ll keep it this way.

• What makes Vivaldi different?

  There’s the huge range of features. There’s the incredible level of customisation and personalisation. There’s our passion for security and privacy. There’s our European heritage and our employee-owned structure.

  But there’s also the things that we don’t do: we don’t track you, or profile you. We don’t sell any user data (we don’t collect any). We don’t push artificial agents between you and the web, deciding what and how you explore. Nor do we include Cryptocurrency-related features into our browsers.

  We build the browser that we want to use, respecting our users, and fighting for a better Web for all.

• Can I import my data from another browser?

  Yes. You can choose to import your bookmarks, passwords, history and autofill data from Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave and Safari. You can also import HTML files at any time.

• Is Vivaldi private?

  Yes, absolutely!

  Privacy isn’t just a feature at Vivaldi, it’s a philosophy. No profiling, no data mining, no-nonsense. Unlike other browsers, Vivaldi does not collect user data and nor do we sell data to advertisers and others willing to pay for it. Vivaldi doesn’t even know how you use the browser.

  Your synced data? End-to-end encrypted.

  Your browsing? Protected with built-in tracker and ad blocking.

  Your privacy? Respected, always.

• Why doesn’t Vivaldi include AI?

  We’ve chosen humans over hype. At Vivaldi, we believe the act of browsing is an active one, and we don’t want to embed an artificial assistant between you and the Web, controlling the pathway to information. We would much rather work on powerful features that put you in control.

• Can I use Vivaldi on mobile?

  Yes, Vivaldi is also available for Android and iOS devices, where you can enjoy some of our powerful features such as the built-in adblocker, two-level tab stacks, notes and translator. It can be downloaded from the App Store and Play Store.

• Is Vivaldi easy to use despite all the features?

  Yes, Vivaldi works great out of the box and you are ready to go in no-time after installing it. The brilliant thing about Vivaldi is that you decide how much time and effort you spend on making Vivaldi adapt to you. Vivaldi has more customization to offer than any other browsers and the more you explore, the more you get.

• Will Vivaldi work on all web pages like Chrome does?

  Vivaldi works on all web pages just like any other major browser.
