Those same settings can be managed per site without going to Preferences by clicking on a shield-style icon in the address bar. Exceptions can also be entered to whitelist individual websites. The two can be managed from Preference's (Settings in Windows) "Privacy" pane by choosing one of three levels: no blocking, tracker blocking only, or ad and and tracker blocking. That company's Tracker Radar technology, based on its own open-source data set, was used to generate Vivaldi's blocklist.Ī more traditional ad blocker was also built into 3.0. But while Firefox relies on Disconnect, Vivaldi turned to DuckDuckGo, better known for its search engine. Like Mozilla, Vivaldi turned to a partner for the foundation of its anti-tracking defense. Where once browsers competed on sheer speed, then later on overall performance, now they battle it out for bragging rights on their concern for users' privacy. analytics company Net Applications pegged Vivaldi at a dust mote-like 0.1% share of all browser activity, or less than a tenth that of Opera (1.1%) or less than one thirty-sixth that of Safari. The number of Vivaldi's settings and options put to shame those of the Big Four: Chrome, Edge, Firefox and Safari.īut in its four years, Vivaldi has managed to attract only the smallest of audiences. The browser, which harks back to 2016 (and was in beta for a considerable time before that) and has roots stretching to Opera Software - von Tetzchner was the CEO of that Norwegian browser developer until 2010 - is best known for its customization skills.
