Vivaldi for android
-
They did reset passwords at least once, and may also remove inactive accounts. But yes, Sync on current versions includes the ability to sync sessions and history (both are optional and I don't actually use them).

Vivaldi for android is in a very early stage of planning (we're not sure if it's even advanced enough in development to call it an app yet haha). So You'll understand how little information there is about it.
Rest assured the application IS planned and WILL be made, but it will take some time (Google wasn't built in a day :P).
I can recommend some browsers to use alternatively to chrome if you wish (as I saw some people sadly felt that Vivaldi was useless without an app
). But for now there's nothing to be done more than waiting.However, you will agree that any wait is worth it, just look at what Vivaldi is right now!
-
@awpii ..and which would you recommend?

Not quite any wait, but we understand that it takes time to do something properly.

@radi8 Focused on privacy, I can recommend Firefox Focus, as it's pretty rad when it comes to erasing (some) traces of your navigation, it also looks pretty and is quite fast!
If you don't care so much about privacy for now (not that these don't have good privacy protection features / policies), I recommend the following:
-Ecosia Browser (We have it's search engine incorporated in Vivaldi [I believe we endorse it too?] and we can plant trees with it! :D)
-Kiwi Browser (Has popup and tracker blocking incorporated)
-Vía Browser (My personal favourite)
I hope this helps you

Do ignore any articles found on the images, as I took them from Google.

@awpii "Vivaldi for android is in a very early stage of planning (we're not sure if it's even advanced enough in development to call it an app yet haha)."
Sounds exactly like what I heard 8 months ago when I first started looking to see if Vivaldi was working on a mobile version. Is there a timeline as to when we can expect a beta version? Has much progress been made since February? It's kinda discouraging that it's not "even advanced enough in development to call it an app," still after months and months.

What so many people to fail to realize (or even consider as a possibility) is that the Vivaldi team is not Microsoft or Google; meaning they don't have large numbers of people working on all aspects of every future feature all at once. The V team can only do so much each day/night. There are THOUSANDS of bugs to squash, HUNDRED of feature requests, and I can't even imagine the decision making process of knowing where to focus their efforts FIRST.
No one can reasonably expect Vivaldi to pop out with a perfect, polished, full-featured product within a few weeks or months. The average user has no idea - zero clues - about how much work it is to code software like this. I've been there done that, and I know full well what the team is going through.
This post will get lost in a sea of topics and posts within a few hours, but I had to take the time to say it. Seeing people come in here and expecting to have it all - instant gratification - is frustrating to me as a user and forum member. I can only imagine how discouraging/disheartening it can be for the developers.

@daltondr said in Vivaldi for android:
@ayespy Is there someplace to offer suggestions for features for the Android version?
So far, Opera is the only Android browser I've tried that has Word Wrapping when zooming pages in the browser. Often the text is too small to read on my phone, so I zoom in, which will usually push the text off the edges of the screen. With Word Wrapping, once the zoom is set, the text adjusts to fit within the window.
I can't use a browser that doesn't include this option. Without Wrapping, a zoomed page requires continually scrolling left/right to read each line of text that has been zoomed off the screen. Uninstall.
I'm always amazed at how many people don't find this a necessary feature. I constantly see people squinting at tiny print on their phones.
Every few months I go on a mobile browser hunt because there is a lot I don't like about Opera Mobile, but in the end I wind up back because they're the only browser who gets this even close to right: two finger zoom, and automatically reflowing text. Yes, it occasionally doesn't work well with a website's formatting, especially at more extreme levels of zoom, but any desktop browser is no different. Go ahead and drag that zoom slider over to 400% on a few pages and see how the formatting holds up.

@joelyoung Thank you for the reply. I by no means intend disrespect to the developers. The wording was definitely harsh, though I do want to point out one thing:
"No one can reasonably expect Vivaldi to pop out with a perfect, polished, full-featured product within a few weeks or months."
I never suggested any of that. I just noted that the project is in the same stage as it was 8 months ago, and wondered if it is close to entering beta. A far cry from coming back in three weeks and asking why it's not in the play store.
I understand that this takes a while and that will result in it being a better product. I also understand that there is a lot to focus on, and that new features take a lot of time. I see a lot of great new features coming out and they really are well done. I was really just curious as to the status of mobile, and the frustrated tone was uncalled for.

Not really. There is progress. But Vivaldi never, under any circumstances, estimates completion dates. Things are ready when they're ready.

@alexkven Allow me to assist you with that,
You see, Software development (Specially for Browsers) is not particularly easy, specially when you're working with 2 different products at once (as it is with the android version and PC/Linux version of Vivaldi, so let's say 3 products instead due to the difference, this makes it even harder when your team is as small as Vivaldi's.
Therefore, we should be amazed of how little progress was made in these 8 months if any, given that we got to Vivaldi 2.0, I wouldn't be amazed if the Android version was released in 2 months, however, we have no dates or a Roadmap, as it is not the main feature of Vivaldi to be multiplatform.
So please, have patience, it will be released and the team is surely working on it as hard as they can without ignoring their main scope.
And I do agree, the wording was too harsh

@AlexKven in fact, look at this comment from 2017:
@jon said in Vivaldi browser for android:
It is on the way. We actually have people on it now. I even have a very early version running on my phone.

This early prerelease phase of the browser is arguably the most important. It's here that the design has to be figured out and the core ideas of what will differentiate the browser from the crowd are decided.
It could be hard to change those later once everything is already public.

I think people want vivaldi on their phones not because they want vivaldi browser by itself, but because they want to have sync between pc and phones, so they will be able to continue to read sites when switching to other device type (pc to phone and vice versa).
