Vivaldi for iOS
-
I love Vivaldi browser. Would it be possible or are you working on providing Vivaldi on iOS devices...? It would be great... Thanks.

Since Apple requires all iOS browsers use Safari, trying to build Vivaldi for iOS is a special problem compared to other platforms. Can't say I've heard anything about it recently though, so I don't know if they are actually working on it or what.

What can we do to help? Not everyone like iPhone and iOS, it must be a big boost for Vivaldi the day you finally have a version running on iOS.
What can I do to help? Whom can I contact to make this happen faster!

Greetings.
As you may well know, Vivaldi is developed in Chromium: this engine is not available on iOS and has to be remade with the Safari development kit.
At the moment it is not a priority, but the team is very clear that someday we should be there.
Happy Holidays.

@realmat0s If you guys really aren't planning on putting your browser on iOS anytime soon and pretty much everyone one else has...then you have lost me to Brave which really bums me out because I love Vivaldi. I have it on my windows desktop and my m1 mac book air. I love the total customizability you have in your browser. However constantly having to swap things between safari and Vivaldi on my iPhone is just a pain (yes first world problems I know but still the competition has it, even browsers with smaller market share then Vivaldi have it on all major platforms (ios, mac os, windows and Android). I wish you the best but your team has been saving this same answer for far to long and it's no longer a valid reason with what else is available in the market today.

@primeaesthetic How exactly would you propose that the Vivaldi team completely rebuild the browser from the ground up on a different engine (the Apple version of WebKit) "soon?" The plan is there. It will be done. But all other production, development and bug repair activities will not be dropped in favor of that one project. I know iPhone users are anxious to see it, but like the Panama Canal or the Hoover Dam, it will not appear overnight. Already, approximately 84% of all desktop users in the world (Windows, Chromebook, Linux, etc.) and 70% of mobile users have the option to sync their Vivaldi data and content. When there is enough of a workforce to spare, iOS will gain this advantage as well.

To be honest, I got no need for a full-blown Vivaldi browser on iOS. At present, there are a few things that make my life difficult:
- Shared bookmarks.
- No access to Vivaldi notes from my iPhone.
There might be other topics, but those are my main sticking points.
If something could be built, that gave me a workable workaround - I would be happy. Using Chrome and DuckDuckGo as my iPhone browsers in iOS.
