Vivaldi for iOS
-
@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.

"already"?

@Ayespy said in Vivaldi for iOS:
I personally find iOS cripplingly more expensive and less flexible than Android
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

it would be great to get a beta for Christmas, that is why I am hoping to see "pipeline" becoming "in progress" - no progress, no beta

@TalGarik Thanks for the tip on the Orion browser.

I am not surprised you like it, it is far from perfect, the team working on the MacOS and iOS versions is not even a team - kind of a basketball squad with an empty bench - but is is showing that even within webkit's limitations there is a lot of great things which is possible to do (do you hear me Vivaldi developers?)

Re: Vivaldi on iOS?
Hello, I'd like to support this request. I love vivaldi and use it at home and at work. But can't use it on my (iOS) phone.
