I hate Ai
I greatly love this browser. I hate using AI. And i love that this browser doesnt use AI to function like so many other big browsers now do. It functions really well to do the tasks a browser needs to do. And i has good privacy and hidden viewing functions.
Ad blocker is useless
The worst browser I tried so far. You press ad blocker and every 2 seconds I’m taken to youtube or some weird separate tab with some odd things
Not User Friendly
What are you guys doing? So any of you use the app from the perspective of a new user? This is far from user friendly. I just want to be able to search. Too complicated. Too much junk. And why am I being pushed a social feed I neither want nor approved? Get it together.
Way Much Better than Safari
I have used Vivaldi on Windows laptop little after when Vivaldi first came out which I liked it very much before I got iMac in 2019. Safari seems to have issues last few years with blank PDF files or missing numbers like on the W-2 tax form when using the printer, as all numbers are still shown on the employer website. I am happy with Vivaldi, as I installed it on iMac few days ago and today on my iPhone 15. Both are now sync with each other. I set both on Vivaldi, as default browsers and set Safari aside. Another thing is I like about is the ad blocker which you don’t need ad blocker apps which Vivaldi already has one which is a way much better ad blocker. Vivaldi is almost exactly the same, as Safari which you can look up the website on the iPhone and hand out to iMac, same from iMac to iPhone which is important to me. My regret for not installing Vivaldi few years ago.

À highly functional alternative to fascist spyware.
Glad to bail on Google and the SlipperyCon Valley billionaire tech bros. Ironic writing it on Apple’s Aapp store!
No Complaints
I have been using the app for a few months now and find it a good alternative to some of the big boys. It feels good to be able to thimb my nose at them and gain some control back.

It's the answer to my ADHD prayers!
For the first time ever, I'm managing my 182 open tabs efficiently and being able to work productively with one tool and one window that handles most of my needs. Love it!
A True Alrernative
Fed up just using the same old browser and search engine? Try Vivaldi, it’s a great alternative — and doesn’t come with any compromises. It also seems to improve as if someone behind the scenes is making helpful tweaks to benefit users, not advertisers!
Final made the switch :)
Unimpressed with Apple and Google so looking to move yo other products - Vivaldi has been a great change!
Amazing app
Switched from duckduckgo to this app, Really loving the smooth ui. No crashes for me yet and i love customizing the app to my likings. Overall great app I recommend
Web browser
Excellent
AI free browsing
takes the stress out of the search, with clear honest answers. i cant wait to learn about all the features and recommend Vivaldi to everyone. Thank you to the Vivaldi team for working so hard to create a responsible search engine that allows the general public to surf the web without contributing to the AI pandemic.

Merci!
Cherchant à me désintoxiquer d’Apple et de tous leurs services, je suis passé de Safari à Firefox pour le côté open source. Mais je n’aime définitivement pas la rigidité de ce dernier ( pas de possibilité de faire des dossiers de signets sur la page d’accueil par exemple ) et j’ai cru comprendre que le respect de la vie privée était de moins en moins une priorité pour eux.
Et je suis tombé sur Vivaldi. Non open source mais transparent sur leur code, intransigeant sur la vie privée.
Hautement personnalisable, j’ai pu retrouvé mes petites habitudes que j’avais pris sur Safari.
Point d’attention, assez gourmand en ressource, il faut fouiller dans les préfs pour l’optimiser et jouer avec la fonction d’hibernation.
Je mettrai 5 étoiles quand on aura la possibilité d’auto héberger nativement ses signets (j’utilise l’add-on floccus mais ça ne fonctionne que sur ordi), j’ai cru voir que c’était dans les tuyaux, donc wait & see.

Great browser
A feature rich browser that surpasses google chrome in all aspects
I'm Back
9/26 Update: After months of issues with Opera I decided to give Vivaldi another try and I am happy I did. The few issues in my earlier review are no longer issues. It will become my new permanent browser (although I still miss Opera's Fast Action button). Very nice browser - thank you from an Icelandic/Finnish Canadian.
----------------------
I like this browser alot although I had a couple of small issues. One was some slowness in opening websites - like a second or two hesitation. Secondly there was some freezing when typing - it just froze and would go no further. This happened a couple of times on both of my devices.
I am leaving however because although this browser is similar to Opera (which I have been using for years) I miss Opera's Fast Action Button. I just can't get used to not having it.
There are some features that Vivaldi does better than Opera. I like Vivaldi's layout very much and I like their search engine ... but it all comes down to the button.

Superlative features and cross-platform design
The combined feature set and fast and free sync across my desktop Linux & macOS devices and my iPhone are amazing. A browser designed for users by users and not some corporate idea of “cool”.
Very good app !
It’s useful and fast!
Great and Safe
Glad to have an app that acknowledge the need of privacy oriented features
