With Vivaldi, you can adjust the browser extensively to your way of working. You group tabs, put pages next to each other and open useful parts in side panels. This is nice when you need multiple websites while writing or comparing.

You can change the location of buttons, keyboard shortcuts and the layout of your browser. Built-in notes help you keep information on a website. Start with a simple layout; you don't have to use the many possibilities right away.

Compare Vivaldi with alternatives

With another browser, you mainly notice difference in tab management, built-in features and the way your data synchronizes. Check if your extensions are available and if you can bring passwords and bookmarks. A browser with the same chromium base can support the same websites, while the privacy and synchronization settings are different.

Who is it for?

This is useful if you use a lot of tabs and web services at the same time and like to customize the interface. It suits you if built-in mail, calendar or feed functions are attractive. For only a few websites a sober design of Vivaldi can be sufficient.

Getting started

First create a few bookmarks and try a tab group. Then add side panels and keyboard shortcuts that really speed up your daily work.

Privacy

Vivaldi offers advertising and tracker filters and encrypted synchronization. Built-in mail, web panels and visited websites keep their own data flows. A filter does not prevent a service on which you log in to recognize you. Secure your synchronization access and check which devices receive the browser data.

Good to know

Due to the many settings, decorating takes more time than a very simple browser. Not every built-in feature is needed for everyone.

Please note

Many modifications can make it more difficult to explain a problem. Preferably change one setting at a time. Check the filters and extensions separately for websites that are not working. Save the necessary recovery data before deleting synchronization or an old profile.

Advantages

  • You can customize tab management and interface extensively.
  • Built-in tools can replace single extensions.
  • Filters and synchronization give additional control over your browser environment.

Things to consider

  • The many possibilities require selection and learning time.
  • Mail and other linked services have their own settings.
  • Complex profiles and extensions can complicate error search.

Our verdict

Vivaldi is interesting if you want a lot of control over tabs, side panels and the layout of your browser. You can use different built-in tools without looking for an extension for each task. The most important choice is how much you really need. Start with a simple decor, so that customization supports your daily work rather than introducing new controls each time.

Choose Vivaldi if you have specific requirements for tab groups, panels or controls that you often use. First check if a simple own format provides the desired overview. Additional built-in services then each require their own account and privacy choices. If you especially want a browser that requires as little decor as possible, maximum customizability is not necessarily the main advantage.
