Vivaldi on Android: Focus on details 

The latest version of Vivaldi on Android improves the browser’s functionality such as the Tracker and Ad Blocker, Bookmarks, and Sync with a focus on details. Get Vivaldi 6.2 now.

OSLO, Norway – Aug 30, 2023

Today, we rolled out the new version of Vivaldi on Android – Vivaldi 6.2. 

Our typical release resolution? Simple: kill all bugs and improve the browser across the board. 

And for this one, obviously, we stuck to it. The core user experience remains our highest priority. This lets us focus on squashing bugs that you may have encountered, and fine-tuning the browser so that your browsing is more fun and fast.

Talking about fast, our latest desktop version fires up the browser’s performance due to massive refactoring of the Vivaldi code. Read details here.

Vivaldi 6.2 on Android is ready for download on phones, tablets, and Chromebooks. For now, let’s take a look at the improvements in this update!

Improved Tracker and Ad Blocker.

We continue to improve our features with every release and this time, we’ve introduced a more visually appealing Ad and Tracker Blocker dialog that ensures the feature looks and feels even better. 

Vivaldi’s built-in Tracker and Ad blocker has an appealing dialog

What’s useful is that our built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker dialog includes visible counters showing the number of blocked ads and trackers. You can see the collective tracking information about all the trackers and ads blocked during your browsing session.

Bookmarks get better. 

We’ve resolved the issue where the mobile folder was being set as the default save folder for bookmarks. Now, when you save a bookmark, it will be conveniently saved to the main bookmarks folder. 

Better bookmarking in Vivaldi ensures a better organisation

In addition, you’ll find the checkmark retained on the highlighted selected item, after you drag a bookmark.

Sync multiple accounts with Vivaldi. 

We’ve got an important fix done in our encrypted Sync functionality. Now the users’ name and password fields will remain intact even when credentials are invalid. This fix prevents frustration caused by losing entered credentials during synchronization.

With the synchronization function, you can safely and securely synchronize your Vivaldi browser data across multiple devices, including cars.

In case you don’t have an account yet, create a new Vivaldi account in the Settings window or on Vivaldi.net. With a Vivaldi account, in addition to Sync, you’ll get access to the Forum, Vivaldi Social, Themes, and Blogs.

More love to the tablet.

Using a tablet? We have ironed out issues that prevented the Speed Dial page from opening when the last tab was closed. Now, closing the final tab will lead to the Speed Dial, and will provide a consistent and intuitive experience.

And if you have experienced frequent crashes on tablets after disabling Tab Stacks, you’ll be happy to know that this has been taken care of! 

Vivaldi has a specially designed user interface that includes a Panel on Tablets

When it comes to tablets and Chromebooks, we’ve always given special attention to them as most of the browsers on the market are not typically built keeping them in mind. For example, in the past, we’ve included a side Panel to optimize screen space better. 

Unlike other browsers, Vivaldi’s interface on a tablet is styled to stand out with features such as real tabs, sync, built-in note-taking, optimized landscape and portrait mode browsing, built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker, and the unique Two-Level Tab Stacks.
