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: 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!!!!

Version: 6.9.3447.55
Being stuck on MacOS 10.14, I came back using Vivaldi 6.2.3105.58 (the last for 10.14) as a third browser. For my admittedly very limited use case, it works ok compared to the other Chromium browsers still running on that platform (all of them recently started to crash on some page, even on a clean account, with no addons! 😲 Couldn't figure out why, as it wasn't even after an Apple Xprotect update...)

Version: 6.2.3105.47
Vivaldi does not remember the window size! You maximize the window, but when you restart the browser it's small again. Vivaldi's forum is filled with complaints about this, but the developers don't care, since this problem has existed for ages.
