Been out for quite a while, chromium based browser with most of the old Opera features.


A Browser for Our Friends

In 1994, two programmers started working on a web browser. The idea was to make a really fast browser, capable of running on limited hardware, keeping in mind that users are individuals with their own requirements and wishes. Opera was born.

Our little piece of software gained traction, our group grew, and we formed a community. We stayed close to our users and our roots. We kept improving our software based on our user feedback, as well as our own ideas on how to make a great browser. We innovated and strove for excellence.

Fast forward to 2015. The browser we once loved has changed its direction. Sadly, it is no longer serving its community of users and contributors — who helped build the browser in the first place.

So we came to a natural conclusion: we must make a new browser. A browser for ourselves and for our friends. A browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you.

And so, Vivaldi is born.

Hi.

Just trying this now and wondered if anyone knows how to have history and cache cleared upon closing?

Or, if it's possible to install and use Click & Clean with it?

To be honest, I'm a little bit lost when it comes to adding extensions in Vivaldi, certainly easier in Chrome.

Do like the look and feel of it, just the configuration is taking a little bit of getting used to and a bit of hunting for.

You can use quite a few Chrome extensions on Vivaldi, https://help.vivaldi.com/article/extensions/ .

As to History and Cache, easy guide here http://www.technogadge.com/how-to-clear-vivaldi-browser-history-cache-cookies/
 
Thanks for the reply.

In that first link I don't see the same screen, or rather the ellipsis that they're showing in the top right hand corner?

Vivaldi has had a few changes since version 1.0 so don't worry about that, anyway just go to Chrome extension store or click on your Vivaldi link like in your screenshot.

I think you mean Lastpass password manager extension, those red dots, you can get that from Chrome extension store.


Enhance your usage of Vivaldi by adding your favorite extensions from Google Chrome web store.

Where can I find Extensions in Vivaldi?

From the Tools menu item, choose Show Extensions. Also access the extensions page by typing vivaldi://extensions in the address field.

On the extensions page, you will see your currently installed extensions and a link to get more extensions from Chrome Web Store.

If the extension has a button interface, it will show up at the end of Address Bar.

Vivaldi is a work in progress and some of the extensions may not fully work at the moment. In case it happens, please let us know about it via [email protected].
