Is Vivaldi Open Source? | Vivaldi Browser Help

Find out the answer to this common question - is Vivaldi Browser open source?

Vivaldi Browser Help
@srandista Is @Vivaldi selling your data?
Short answer: no.
Longer answer: Still no.
@srandista Martin, odkazovana webova stránka říkají, że ano. @Vivaldi

@smyru @Vivaldi "Note that, of the three layers above, only the UI layer is closed-source. Roughly 92% of the browser’s code is open source coming from Chromium, 3% is open source coming from us, which leaves only 5% for our UI closed-source code."

Why isn’t Vivaldi browser open-source? | Vivaldi Browser

People involved in the open-source community often ask us why Vivaldi browser isn’t fully open-source. In this post, we’ll explore and explain our position.

Vivaldi Browser
@Vivaldi Do a PC one. I've d/l it and got it running but it is not importing my Firefox data.
@Vivaldi @brucelawson what about my thousands of open tabs? Can you move those too?
@Vivaldi
Already moved from #Firefox long back. But #Chromium based #Vivaldi is definitely not an option for me. I am happy with #Librewolf.
@Vivaldi I’ve been using Vivaldi for 1-2 weeks now. I really enjoy it. What a fantastic browser 👍
@Vivaldi I've been using Vivaldi as my second browser for a few years now.
@AngelaScholder It has been my main browser since 2015. :-) @Vivaldi

@Vivaldi

I can't figure out how to get reader mode in iOS, or to get it read aloud.

iOS does have the Spoken Content, but it's awkward af to get it at a good speech rate.

When I want to have a page read to me, I open it in Safari. Vivaldi is the second alternative browser I've tried. The first time, I reset my default back to Safari, and I may do that again.

@vor

Reader Mode has not been implemented in Vivaldi on iOS just yet, but it's on our radar.

As for reading the page content aloud, you can upvote the feature request on https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/68495/read-aloud-feature (ignore the fact that only Android is mentioned in the topic).

Read aloud feature

Will vivaldi for Android get read aloud feature just like edge android?? It's pretty useful in edge, would be great if Vivaldi gets it

@Vivaldi why I would switch from fully open source browser with independent engine to a closed on based on crapware chromium?

Maybe think about adopting servo/gecko?

Do you plan to finally open-source the app though?

@Vivaldi

BYE Firefox, hello Vivaldi!

@Vivaldi Liking Vivaldi so far. 👍Quite a few improvements of Firefox.

QQ - how can I save an 80% view settign as default? Every time I open a new tab it resets to 100%.

@BonehouseWasps

That's good to hear!  

Re: Zoom. Go to Settings > Webpages > Default Webpage Zoom and disable "Use Tab Zoom".

@Vivaldi Amazing - thank you!

Can I be cheeky and ask one more. When I right click to "open link in new tab" is there a way I can stop the new tab from becoming the focus, so I stay on the tab I'm already on?

EDIT - Don't worry, I found it! Super easy to search in settings. 😊

@Vivaldi Is Vivaldi, as a Chromium based browser, going to suffer the manifest changes/restrictions that have prevented various extensions, included government recommended adblocking, from working?

@distinctdipole

Yes, this change unfortunately affects us too.

We won't know for sure whether there's something we can do about it until we see the actual changes to the code.

In the meantime, we'll continue improving Vivaldi's built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker.
