Congratulations to the Vivaldi Team

Great... but does it support nicknames in bookmarks? The plain-vanilla Android version of Vivaldi does not and this is a real drawback (at least for me). See https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/70031/nicknames-still-it-seems-broken

Are there plans to make this available for Volvo and other AAOS platforms?

My goodness. As phones' form-factors have increased over recent years to head towards tablet territory, the storage implications for consumers' pockets & bags has been non-trivial. However, this initiative takes the cake. I'm definitely gonna need a new handbag to fit this one in!

Not for old school users

Would it be possible to include an option to show the virual keyboard in desktop mode. For Disney+ the keyboard does not display when needing to enter the profile PIN.

When will Vivaldi for Android Auto be available for the VW Passat and other car brands? Can you share a roadmap of car brands you plan to support?

Catweazle

@ppvi , nobody knows, depends on the different brands itself. But I think that, apart of Renault, there will follow others, at least, all who used the PoleStar navigator.
