Vivaldi vs. Opera
Vivaldi and Opera share a fair bit of common history. Vivaldi was co-founded by Jon von Tetzchner, Opera’s former CEO and co-founder. However, the companies are quite different. Vivaldi is a Norwegian registered company with HQ in Oslo, owned by its employees, funded by Jon. Opera’s ultimate owner, Opera Limited, is incorporated in Cayman Islands, and is a consolidated subsidiary of Kunlun Tech Co, a company based in China.
Vivaldi is free from AI, does not track you or sell your data, and lets you customize things the way you like. Opera has a different way of working. Let’s take a closer look at the feature differences between the Norwegian browser Vivaldi and Chinese-owned Opera browser.

Vivaldi leads on tab management and productivity — with unique built-in features that make it stand out from the crowd.
Privatliv
Most browsers claim to protect your privacy, but their business models often depend on some level of profiling or surveillance.
At Vivaldi, we reject these practices and believe what you do on your browser is your business and nobody else’s. We give you the tools you need to protect yourself from Big Tech’s prying eyes, like a built-in ad and tracker blocker with custom lists, Proton VPN and end-to-end encrypted data sync. With Vivaldi, you’re in control!

Indbyggede funktioner
At Vivaldi, our goal is to provide you with a browser that has all the built-in functionality you need. Our mantra is “a browser that adapts to you, not the other way around”, and because we all have different needs and likes, that means a browser packed with powerful built-in features.
If what you need somehow isn’t already built into Vivaldi, you can install extensions from the Chrome Web Store (they work great in Vivaldi too!), or come to our Forum and make a feature request. We thrive on user feedback: that’s how we develop and grow, as we have no shareholders or investors pulling our strings.
Vivaldi has features you want, and the features you didn’t know you needed that you won’t be able to live without.

No AI
Unlike most of our competitors, Vivaldi is free from generative AI features. No summarizing tools, no chatbots, you remain in control. We have taken a stand and have chosen humans over hype.
We will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting. Our curiosity loses oxygen and the diversity of the web dies.
Jón von Tetzchner - CEO, Vivaldi Technologies
Vivaldi is the haven for people who still want to explore. We will continue building a browser for curious minds, power users, researchers, and anyone who values autonomy.
Ubegrænsede faner i delt skærm
Rudedéling af faner lader dig se flere sider på én gang, side om side eller i et gitter. Til arbejde og fritid – perfekt til at sammenligne tilbud eller følge med i flere Twitch-streams!
Multi-level tab groups
A key example of our unparalleled tab management. Just drag and drop your tabs to organize them in tab groups, which we call stacks. These can be renamed and colour-coded. Your stacks will remain in the main tab bar, and a second level will appear once you click on them, showing you the tabs within that group.
Make your tabs work for you
You know the feeling when you’re reading something good, there’s an interesting link, you click it, and twenty minutes later you’ve lost the original thread entirely and have eleven tabs open?
Not in Vivaldi. Our Follower Tab lets you open links in split-screen view, keeping the original page to your left.
Styr alt med Hurtigkommandoer
Hurtigkommandoer er Vivaldi’s universelle søge- og kontrolcenter. Søg øjeblikkeligt i faner, bogmærker, historik eller på nettet, og udfør browserkommandoer – alt på ét sted.
Ofte stillede spørgsmål
-
How do I install Opera extensions in Vivaldi?
You can install extentions from the Chrome Web Store. Vivaldi is Chromium-based, so it runs the same extensions as Opera with no special setup.
-
Is there a way to get Opera-style workspaces in Vivaldi?
Yes. Vivaldi has its own workspaces feature, which works a lot like Opera’s. It lets you group tabs into separate spaces to avoid the chaos of an overcrowded tab bar. Vivaldi takes the tab management further with two-level tab groups and unlimited tab tiling in split-screen.
-
Can I transfer my Opera data to Vivaldi?
Yes, bookmarks, passwords and history can be imported into Vivaldi during the setup process.
-
Does Vivaldi have RAM usage controls?
Yes, Vivaldi has performance settings that allow you to free up memory, as well as manual hibernation of tabs, background tabs, and even workspaces.
-
Does Vivaldi have an AI assistant like Opera AI (Aria)?
No. Despite the pressure from the tech industry, we have rejected the idea of adding AI from the beginning. We have chosen a human-first approach and will not have any chatbots or AI summarization tool.
