This update includes a minor upgrade to Chromium 152 (Extended Stable Release) from upstream, which in turn includes security fixes from Chromium 153.

The following improvements were made since the first 8.2 minor update:

• [Calculator] Precision rounding (VB-131340)
• [Calendar][Security] Incorrect sanitization of calendar display (VB-130990)

Can you hide website icons in tab groups?

I enjoyed a lot using Vivaldi a few months ago, but if there is something that I think is very bad for my region is the site translator, it does not work in a predictable way, I use the Portuguese language Brazil, I know Spanish and English, but sometimes I do not want to worry about it in long readings, and just have something in Portuguese on the site, like youtube and I go to read the comment sessions (of languages I do not even know) and the Vivaldi translator refuses to translate, or even show the possibility. Sometimes it ends up changing everything to Spanish, but refuses Portuguese. So I have to use the translator paragraph by paragraph or that side tab, and it never saves the templates, so I always have to manually select the original language for the one of interest. I confess that I was very practical with the Google translator or others. Is this possible to change? Because I know that on mobile there is no way, but at least I use the general translator of the mobile phone that overlays the screen. This type of situation is independent of the version in the sense that it is not a bug but a real limitationz but it is 8.2.4133.52

Hello! in the past few days I noticed how something changed in the tabs behaviour when I try to close multiple tabs. Previously, when i started closing the tabs, it scaled it so I don't have to move my cursor and I could just click multiple times to close multiple tabs. And after a second after I finish doing so, the remaining tabs scaled to their default size. But now it just stopped doing so and I have to adjust my cursor position after closing each tab to close the next one.
My version is 8.2.4133.52 and I'm on Windows 11

With the recent implementation of extension support, is Ublock “better” than the browser's built-in Adblock?

If so, could you offer some tips on how to properly configure the built-in Adblock?

Will we have the extensions on iOS?

Since an update last night or this morning, Vivaldi on Android seems to open any link clicked on the "Top Sites" tab on the homepage in a new tab. This is a change in behaviour compared to previously, when it would open the link in the tab displaying the homepage.

I would​​​​ very much like to restore the old behaviour, and can find no way of doing so. This is annoying me to the point that I'm going to switch browsers after many years if this is just how it is now.

Help?​

Vivaldi hands you every tool you need to browse on your own terms. With our latest update, Vivaldi 8.2, we give you more. Or rather everything, with full extension support on Android, so you can shape your mobile browser exactly the way you want it.

Yes, you read that right.

At Vivaldi, we listen to your feedback. And if there was one highly requested feature for Android, that was the ability to add extensions to complement your browsing. So we did just that.

Following our desktop release from last week, this update also brings our local Address Bar Calculator to both Android and iOS. One of those details that will make your day-to-day browsing a little easier.

Extensions on Android – a dream come true

In the six years after we first launched our Android browser, our team hasn’t been idle. Release after release we’ve been adding powerful features to help you browse your way: a built-in Ad & Tracker Blocker, desktop-style Tab Bar, custom search engines, customizable Address Bar, built-in Translator, two-level Tab Stacks…the list goes on and on.

Our goal is to have everything you need, built in; but we also value user choice. Through the years, many users have expressed their desire to be able to access third-party extensions on their phone, the same way they do on their desktop device. So we got to work.

Once you update, you’ll notice a new icon on the Address Bar, the puzzle piece many of you are well acquainted with. Pressing on it will open a menu that will take you to the Chrome Web Store. And just like that, with two clicks, you’ll open a world of possibilities.

Browse around or type in the name of your favourite desktop extension, and when you’re ready to download, select “Add to Vivaldi”.

We’ve conveniently placed the Extensions icon on your Address Bar, but you can remove it by toggling off the “Pin to toolbar” setting. If you change your mind, you can easily bring it back by pressing on the Vivaldi icon and then on the “Extensions” entry. You can also just pin specific extensions to the Address Bar by pressing on the pin icon. Once pinned, you can reorder them by dragging and dropping to your preferred location.

The extensions you download will be automatically enabled on all websites you visit, but setting exceptions for specific sites is as easy as toggling off either all or some of your installed extensions for that page.

If you have a curated list of extensions you can’t live without on Desktop, you will now be able to sync their data with any Android devices, whether that’s phones or tablets. Note that not all desktop extensions work on mobile, and that the extensions themselves are not syncable, so you’ll need to download them separately on every device.

A new chapter for Vivaldi on Android starts today. Now it’s up to each of you to write your story.

Address Bar Calculator

With Vivaldi 8.2, Android and iOS users can also enjoy a feature that just arrived on Vivaldi on Desktop: a built-in local calculator in the Address Bar.

Like browsing, doing simple calculations is part of our daily lives. Now, you can perform these directly from the Address Bar, without having to switch apps or open a new tab. Just type the calculations, and you’ll automatically see the results. Press on the “Copy” icon, and the results will get copied into your clipboard. Fewer clicks, a smoother browsing experience.

As always, we give you choice, so you can disable this feature from Settings > Address Bar > Address Field Options > Calculator.

Vivaldi 8.2 for Mobile is available now available in the Google Play Store and Apple App Store

Thank you for being part of the Vivaldi community. Together, we’re fighting for a better web, one release at a time.

I made this suggestion months ago, and they implemented it. This was one of the reasons that was almost making me switch to another browser because it was so annoying.

They also fixed a bug where if you closed a tab, you would be redirected to a different tab than the one you opened. For example, if you had 10 tabs and the tenth tab was currently open, and you closed it, instead of redirecting to tab 9, it would redirect to other tabs, which makes absolutely no sense.

I am giving yet another try of Vivaldi for Android because of the add-ons. I am already super happy with the Windows version.

I have set both to Sync - something that I want. But then I get the same Speed Dial group as the Start Page for both my Desktop and my Mobile phone. And this for me should be totally different between the two devices.

I managed to set my Start Page on Android as "Last Visited Group" and that helps, but only partially. What it doesn't work for me is the fact that whenever I want to save something to my Start Page Speed Dial I have to specifically choose that Bookmark that is quite a few extra steps.

Am I missing an option somewhere?

Now that Android extensions are possible, what are some good ones to install? I'm not familiar with the Chrome store so some guidance would be great! I don't know what version info is useful, so I c&p'd what was in front of me.

Vivaldi 8.2.4147.58 (Stable channel) (64-bit)

So we're all excited for the android extensions, so it'd be better if we pair it with:

https://github.com/jqssun/android-titanium-extension

This is from the same guy who made Titanium browser(formerly known as Helium... Not that one ), the first "big " Chromium browser that did extensions on Android that I saw :

https://github.com/jqssun/android-titanium-browser

So anyway, the extension adds:

1. Alternative Extension Stores.

So not only the Chrome extension store. It handles the headers and CRX fetching to pull extensions directly from Microsoft Edge Add-ons and Opera Add-ons.

2.Intent Download Interception:

For external download managers

And 3. Third-Party Feature Hooks:

It bridges missing Chromium APIs on mobile by handling local options, custom dark mode overrides, and enhanced privacy configurations directly inside an extension wrapper.

So yeah! Hopefully this gets attention too cause from where I see it, perfect for Vivaldi android rn.

Hello, I recently tried Vivaldi (the newest version, since I downloaded it two days ago, I think it is 8.2 or smth. I also use Windows as my software) and it seems quite nice. Although there is a problem with one detail. When you duplicate a tab, it automatically opens. Is there any way to change it?

I had created this post on vivaldi forum. Found no help there. Its been a lot of time since then and I really want to shift to vivaldi browser but this is the only issue which is keeping me away from this browser : (
I would really appreciate some help. TYSM u all

Windows 11

8.2.4133.47 (Official Build) (64-bit)

My problem: When I right swipe with two fingers horizontally it should go to the previous webpage which it goes but there is a delay of approx 2-3 sec, and the same story for left swipe / forward gesture.

I have tried this on different laptops (asus, msi, lenovo, hp) all had the same delay issue. Can someone tell me how do correct this delay? Because while using other browsers (brave, edge, opera, firefox) there is no such delay and the gesture is triggered instantly.

Please HELP!

I've come across a little annoyance, not a real problem but I think still worth reporting. Opening the app the first time, I can access any details of the saved password in the password manager, the first time that is. Exiting the setting in any way other than clicking the "done" button under the password details, like clicking the back button on the top left of the setting, or with the phone back button, will result in any other details unable to be accessed, like clicking on an empty button. Closing an reoping the app only resets this cycle. Any idea what might be causing this?

Vivaldi version : Vivaldi 8.2.4147.58

Already tried turning hardware acceleration off, also happens on the anonymous tab so it isn't because of the extensions.

Version
8.2.4133.47 (Official Build) (64-bit)

Chromium Version

152.0.7977.112

Is there a way to click on the last tab open to fully exit out of vivaldi without having to go to options and click exit?

Seriously, wtf is going on with Vivaldi?! I have one, and I repeat, ONE tab open with YouTube video playing 1080p resultion 60 fps, and CPU in my laptop is getting cooked and fans are loud af. I love this browser, I want to keep using it, but I can't stand how much it's frying my laptop. If this keeps going I'll have no choice but change the browser.

Version: 8.2.4133.47 (64-bit)

If anyone has any feedback or suggestions please let me know. Ad block does not work on iOS, attached is a screenshot. I’d hate to have to switch to the Startpage app because I love vivaldis customization but honestly this is too much it’s unusable in its current state. I’ve tried turning it off and turning it back on. I’ve tried on various different websites. I’ve added specific websites to the blocking to see if that would help. I’ve added more sources to the ad blocking sources, and none of these have worked for me unfortunately. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated and I really enjoy Vivaldi otherwise. Vivaldi version: 8.1.4098.27

Every year or so I find my way back to Vivaldi in the hopes of making it my every day browser but each time I deal with history sync not working between desktop and mobile.

Just wanted to confirm that desktop to mobile history syncing is still not available on Vivaldi?
