it does not work at all

Good browser just wish…

Greta browser I just wish it would let you start in a new tab every time you open the app aside from that it’s a 10/10 browser I recommend.

Let down by blocking

We had 24 hours with our home IP address being blocked, despite reporting it we had no communication about what had happened. Disappointed so I’m no longer using it

Wonderful Browser

Very customizable and user friendly, and I love the lack of genAI features. 10/10 have recommended to all of my friends.

Does not respect 3rd party password managers

Only will auto fill from Vivaldi itself. Same manager works fine in Safari and Chrome. Love Vivaldi on desktop, but this makes it a nonstarter.

Bad Browser

Takes forever to load anything, search results are unhelpful and full of AI even though they claim not to be. Randomly can't use search engine AT ALL because it says there are "high bot usages" and I have to wait for them to email me and let me use it. This is ridiculous. Not worth it.

Flaky as he** on my iPad

Worked great for a week then started locking me out cause it thought I was a spammer. FYI I’m a very light home user viewing guitar instruction sites and 2 hockey sites. That’s it on my iPad. Still seems to work great on my android and MacBook, the two devices I do 99% of my surfing on. Wth Vivaldi? No deleted on my iPad and back to using safari.

Insulting

This app refused to work, stating that it had detected nefarious activity, including high volume of something. I have used this thing a half-hour a day, maybe not even that much.
Vivaldi would be ashamed to be associated with this travesty.

Vivaldi randomly cut my browsing access

Was trying to look up something about a video game and i got rerouted to a page where i had to verify my browsing type if i used a vpn or proxy and then submit a captcha. Now i still cant look anything up because it’s being “reviewed”. Little bit irritated because i downloaded vivaldi to get away from the google ai slop and have been enjoying vivaldi a lot right up until about 45 minutes ago.

Blocks from searching at random - not a usable browser.

Had the browser downloaded for two days, and done nothing other than look up normal average queries throughout my day, yet somehow I am now blocked from even searching anything because of “bot activity”… I have done absolutely nothing but use the browser as any other regular person would, no bots, no vpn, nothing, yet I suddenly was barred from searching at all for a completely unspecified time. The browser clearly is not ready for consumer use if normal use gets you shut down and blocked from making queries, and I wish anyone would have talked about that before I wasted time downloading it after listening to all the lies about how great it works. Can’t work that great if it doesn’t work AT ALL.

Awesome but

When looking up images there should be a “no ai” filter.

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!
