Vivaldi 7.1 for iOS: Smarter, Faster, and More Personal Browsing

We’re excited to introduce Vivaldi 7.1 for iOS, an update packed with powerful new features that make your browsing experience smarter, faster, and more personal. Whether you’re reading, navigating, or customizing your browser, Vivaldi 7.1 brings tools that help you stay in control while keeping your privacy protected.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s new.

Translate the Web with Vivaldi Translate

Vivaldi Translate is here to break down language barriers and open up the web like never before. Powered by Lingvanex, this built-in translation tool allows you to instantly translate entire web pages or selected text into over 100 languages, all without compromising your privacy.

Unlike Big Tech translation tools, Vivaldi Translate ensures your activity is for your eyes only. There’s no tracking, no profiling, and no peeking behind the curtain.

Need to translate something specific? Use the Translate Panel on your iPhone or iPad to instantly convert selected text to your preferred language, while keeping the rest of the page intact. Whether you’re exploring foreign news, reading blogs, or learning a new language, Vivaldi Translate ensures you have the tools to navigate a multilingual web effortlessly.

Smarter Speed Dials

Speed Dials are more than just bookmarks, they’re your personal launchpad for the web. Whether it’s your go-to news site, favorite online tools, or the platforms you use daily, Speed Dials let you access everything important to you in just one click. Adding new websites to your Speed Dial is now faster and more intuitive with the new Add Speed Dial dialog. The new Speed Dial dialog now shows sections for Popular and Frequently Visited sites, helping you quickly save what you need, making it quicker than ever to organize your favorite sites on the Start Page.

Quickly Save Your Favorite Sites

Saving your favorite pages just got a whole lot easier. With the new Add Page to menu item, you can quickly save the current page to your Start Page, Bookmarks, Reading List, or even directly to your device’s Home Screen. Whether it’s an article you want to read later, a go-to website for work, or something you need quick access to, this feature gives you the flexibility to organize your browsing exactly the way you want. In just a couple of taps, you can ensure everything you need is right where you expect it, making your browsing smoother and more efficient than ever.

New Default Search Engines

To keep Vivaldi free and independent, we’ve made a small but important update: changing some of our default search engines. These adjustments are part of our efforts to support the ongoing development of the browser. Our partner search engines that generate revenue for us are: Startpage, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo and Qwant. As part of this setup, we also made changes to ensure that ad attribution works correctly, this is needed for us to be paid by our partners. Rest assured, Vivaldi doesn’t track you, profile you, or sell your data.

Seamless Sharing with Send Tab to Device

Ever found the perfect article, recipe, or video on your phone but wanted to continue on your desktop? With Send Tab to Device, you can instantly share tabs between your Vivaldi-enabled devices. Whether you’re switching from couch mode to work mode or heading out the door, your tabs are just a click away. It’s seamless, fast, and keeps your browsing flow uninterrupted, because the last thing you need is to lose track of where you left off.

More Updates for a Better Browsing Experience

We’ve also introduced a host of updates to make your time on Vivaldi even more efficient and enjoyable.

Paste and Go/Search: Navigate or search directly from your clipboard without extra steps. Found a link or search term? Just paste it and go.
Custom Zoom Levels: Reading on your phone or tablet just got more comfortable. Set your preferred zoom level to make every page look exactly how you want it.
Share from the Address Bar: Quickly share links straight from the Address Bar’s context menu, keeping your workflow uninterrupted.
Rename Devices in Sync Settings: Stay organized by giving custom names to your devices in Sync. No more guessing which device is which.
Search Suggestion Settings: Fine-tune search suggestions in the Address Bar to suit your style.

Update to Vivaldi 7.1 for iOS now, and as always, thank you for being part of the Vivaldi community. Together, we are fighting for a better web.
