Check out Vivaldi's Roadmap for 2026 π
Jokes aside, is Vivaldi good? Is it worth looking into even tho itβs just another chromium browser?
Yes, using it since 10 years as main browser. It's the most advanced browser out there, good privacy, great ethics to the user by this EU company (employee owned cooperative in Norway), perfect transparency, great community, and yes it isn't OpenSource, but source available (https://github.com/ric2b/Vivaldi-browser, https://vivaldi.com/source/), the proprietary part (5% of the UI script is 100% auditable and even moddeable by the user, in the forum they show how (naturally at own risk)). It's Chromium based (de-googled), but not a simple fork like other.
It's very good! Honestly, try it. I use it on Android, Linux and Windows. Very customizable and pro-user, nice community.
