The only thing that’s still missing is the ad and tracking blocker that’s normally integrated into the browser. That’s why Vivaldi announced that it’s working on support a while ago, and Jon confirmed to us that the browser is almost ready at this point. With markets like the US wholly dominated by iPhones, not having Vivaldi on iOS is a weak spot, even taking into account those major technical limitations. It partially achieved this by funneling web requests through its own compression proxy servers before they made their way to your phone, making websites much more digestible on the underpowered handsets and slow data speeds of yesteryear. Opera Mini, the special, mobile-optimized version of the Opera browser, predates the Android operating system, and it was first available on feature phones compatible with Java ME, before coming to platforms like Nokia’s Symbian, BlackBerry, and Windows Mobile.īack then, it was one of the best browsers you could hope for, as it offered significantly faster load times, better performance, and more features than most pre-installed browsers. This makes sense, given that Jon co-founded Opera, with him only starting Vivaldi a while after leaving Opera - and then not particularly liking what was happening to it. Hoping to repeat Opera Mini's historyĭuring our discussion, the comparison to Opera Mini naturally came up.
On top of this, Jon makes clear that a lot of Vivaldi’s core features, like its extensive customization and theming options, are also available on Android Automotive.
