Vivaldi for iOS
-
@hughsk It was a JOKE. One of my daughters hounds me mercilessly to switch to iOS even though she know it's never going to happen. I personally find iOS cripplingly more expensive and less flexible than Android - but then, I don't have a Mac laptop to sync to - so...
Still Vivaldi for iOS is coming - it's just a bit of a hard slog.
Vivaldi will not be, like Brave, Safari with a fancy dress on.

@Ayespy
As iphone user who used android windowsphone and bb10 for years β¦ the price of iphone guaranteed the quality and fluidness of what you get.
If you want to try iphone, I can say iphones all are the same you can buy cheaper or stock ones still get same features and update like newest flagship snd more years of update than flagship androids:)
this is way i did not bought new models cause my 11 pro works like them.
About less flexibility ,with respect itβs obvious that you dont even use iphone to get know what is iphone,
The phone and os built to deliver simple and flexible workflow, the power key is share button that you can see everywhere in ios , after i moved to ios and got things to know , using share button save up 80 percent of time doing same process in android:)
The second power key by my opinion is shortcut app , you never see somthing like that in android , you can set a lot of automations and tasks to do without doing anything just search and read about it.
, also i know there are restrictions but end users doesnβt care β¦
Btw a mac let you playing more efficiently ,but KDE connect or other airdrop alternative are good to fill the job with linux or windows. -
@Ayespy Judging by the number of alternate (especially low quality) browsers on the Apple Store, I am not persuaded that developing an iOS-compliant browser is the insuperable task several of you claim that it is. Yes, Apple has its requirements. So does every other OS.
-
@ehrens it's not an insurmountable task, but it is not trivial either.
The vivaldi brand is about having a configurable browser that works for the user. Unless the team feel they can deliver on that, they're not going to publish anything as it would likely be worse than the default browser and could end up hurting them.
As you note, many of the other browsers are low quality. That's exactly what vivaldi want to avoid.
-
@ehrens
these are not independently-developed browsers. These are skins for Safari. Vivaldi will not settle for that, it seems. -
@Ayespy A Safari-skin might be a better-then-nothing solution, to allow sync. But at that point: Might be better just to make an iOS Safari extension to allow syncing with Vivaldi.

@Eggcorn I note with interest today that although Vivaldi does not presently have an iOS product, it is advertising to expand its iOS team. Signs and wonders?

do they have an iOS team?

Very interesting: it's already on "pipeline". That means the Vivaldi development team will work on it.
-
Wonder if this will include the iPad. Not having a version for the iPad is the only thing keeping me from using Vivaldi on all of my devices. Currently using Firefox since I can sync my info across all devices.
Would so rather use Vivaldi.

I use both, I have an iPhone and two Android tablets. In my experence, iOS and Android are about the same (aside from security and AirTags).
-
Any idea when "pipeline" will become "in progress?"
I have taken a look at the other features under "pipeline" and it is terrifying: I mean there is some 3 years old stuff there
-
@TalGarik Pipeline means it is something the developers are planning to do, and may be working on if they have the resources available. In progress means it is actively being worked on and is available now or soon in snapshot beta builds.
For now, there's no beta for iOS, and there's no timeline yet for when it will be ready, so it's still just in pipeline.

Thanks LonM but I have been around here for a while, I know what pipeline means, but it wasn't me who last December considered the lack of the iOS version one of The biggest browser fails of 2021 and promised a surpirse in store for 2022...

I guess "perhaps" is the key word here.
I am patiently waiting. -
@TalGarik There's still a few months left in 2022, one can hope.
But I'm not a developer or employee of Vivaldi, just a volunteer, so I don't know if there's an official planned date.

@treego IMHO Vivaldi is simply losing ground in the MacOS/iOS situation, there is a lot of small projects focusing on that area, trying to fill the hole - Orion is the most noteworthy to this point - and with the mobile browser user share going over 60% if you want to be relevant you have to offer a mobile version these days.
I find very annoying to have to use more than one browser, huge software and using a lot of resources, if Safari had real extensions it would be great, that is why Orion - which is based on Safari - has a lot of potential, the mobile version is already good, alas the macOS version - still in Beta fair to say - is way behind. Vivaldi needs to improve its performance on M1 and now M2 machines and release a great iOS version before losing more ground: WAKE UP VIVALDI PEOPLE
