Vivaldi in Polestar: The first browser for Android Automotive OS
-
That's awesome!
-
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?
-
Great work,
-
I swear this is the car web browser. Wow.
-
congratulations vivaldi team.That is something very unique and totally unheard of before.
-
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

How the hack you can drive safely with a globe on your dashboard? -
-
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?
-
@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.

Safety first: To ensure safety, the browser can only be used when parked. Streaming content will continue audio-only if driving commences. Some functional restrictions may apply, for example, files cannot be downloaded.
I don't like that bit. Obviously, it's foolish to be off browsing the web while you're driving. But disabling the browser goes beyond stopping that! What if a driver, for example, is using an online map and needs to see the map to know what turn to make? Or what if a passenger wants to browse the internet?
Vivaldi, and Opera under Jon, has always been about putting the user in control. I hope Vivaldi continues to do that, and this one exception remains an isolated incident!
