Here are some of the changes that have been made:
- Fresh Settings UI and search (VAB-8621)
We’ve completely redesigned the Settings interface, making it more intuitive and easier to navigate. The new structure and enhanced search functionality allow you to find and customize your settings more efficiently. - Donation badge (VAB-9750)
Vivaldi generates money via various deals, however we also accept donations, which is a great way to support development more directly.
Recently we provided a way to optionally display your role in supporting us via a little hexagon on your avatar on our forums, or other sites like Vivaldi Social. Now you can also see this within the browser itself, as a little visual reminder that you are helping to build this with us. Thank you! 💖🙇

Download options
We are currently offering Snapshots from the Play Store.
Sometimes there might be a delay after a snapshot blog post goes live, while updates are rolled out via the Play Store. If you don’t want to wait, or you do not use the Play Store on your device, we also offer .apk files for manual installation.
Alternative Downloads (3446.3)
Manually installed files can be updated from the Play Store at a later date, provided you installed the one that is most appropriate for your device. If you are not sure which one is right for you, simply install Droid Hardware Info [Alt], switch to the ‘System’ Tab and look at the ‘Instruction Sets’ line.
Differences to Final
The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our users a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main Vivaldi Android package.
When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (above). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or directly in the Play Store. When commenting in the Play Store, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.
