Vivaldi overview
Vivaldi is a browser for our friends.
We live in our browsers. Choose one that has the features you need, a style that fits and values you can stand by. From the look and feel, to how you interact with your browser, every aspect of Vivaldi can be tweaked and customized. You’re in control. Online privacy is more important than ever and how your browser handles sensitive data is crucial. Vivaldi doesn’t track or store any of your data. Managing hundreds of tabs is a breeze, and built-in tools like Notes and screen Capture mean there’s no need to hunt for add-ons.

Version: 8.1.4087.68
Great browser. Tons of features. Only drawbacks: It is tab focused. Has some quirks when you need different windows. And there's no reliable support. You may post a bug report, but you never get any response or help. Only a forum, which isn't the most active one I've seen.

Version: 7.8.3925.56
The download link is broken. There must have been another update.

Version: 7.5.3735.70
.70 is out for MacOS but the other OSs haven't been updated. Usually the Windows and Linux versions are updated simultaneously. Did the continuous release pipeline break? When will .70 be out for Windows and Linux?

Version: 7.3.3635.7
I like the browser, but I'm disappointed that after reinstalling and logging into my account, with a p****word and security key, neither the bookmarks with my saved sites, nor the p****words, nor the extensions that I used before are synchronized :-( And the synchronization function has all these things marked. The cloud shows that it is turned on and still nothing. This makes me refuse to use it!!!!
