View source for Vivaldi (web browser)

'''Vivaldi''' is a freeware [[web browser]] developed by Vivaldi Technologies.

== Description ==

The browser is aimed at staunch technologists, heavy Internet users, and previous [[Opera (web browser)|Opera web browser]] users disgruntled by Opera's transition from the [[Presto (layout engine)|Presto layout engine]] to the [[Blink (web engine)|Blink layout engine]], which removed many popular features in the process.

Vivaldi aims to revive the old, popular features of Opera 12 and introduce new, more innovative ones.

The browser is updated weekly, in the form of "Snapshots", and has gained popularity since the launch of its first technical preview.

On November 3, 2015, Vivaldi Technologies launched the first beta of the Vivaldi web browser and announced that the browser's technical previews had been downloaded more than 2 million times.

On April 6, 2016, Vivaldi Technologies released Vivaldi 1.0, the browser's first stable release.
