New @Vivaldi for your computer!

This time a lot of focus is on the design. At the same time we make it easier for you to see how flexible Vivaldi can be with layouts.

Let me know what you think! Still the only browser with a Mastodon Instance and a built in Mastodon (Vivaldi Social) panel!

Vivaldi 8.0: our biggest design overhaul, ever

More than thirteen years in, and I am still as excited about building this browser as I was on day one. Maybe more. That excitement comes from a genuine belief…

Browsers Treat Big Sites Differently

Safari and Firefox change how big sites render based on the domain. TikTok, Netflix, Instagram… even SeatGuru. Chrome doesn’t. Why is that?

By now you've all probably heard about the latest shenanigans from Google and their love for in-browser AI features (if you don't, this is the story: theverge.com/tech/924933/googl…).

Our team has been inspecting the Chromium code and disabling stuff from the very first version of Vivaldi (we have some posts about this in our blog, such as vivaldi.com/blog/news/alert-no… or vivaldi.com/blog/no-google-viv…).

We've also been very outspoken about our dislike of the built-in AI trend in the browser industry, but in case there's still any doubts: yes, we disable all Gemini-related features, and we've been doing it for a while.

Chrome’s AI features may be hogging 4GB of your computer storage

Chrome users are discovering that Google is installing a 4GB weights.bin file inside their browser directory when certain AI browser features are enabled.
