  110. <p>We are currently offering Snapshots from the Play Store.</p>

  112. <p><em>Sometimes there might be a delay after a snapshot blog post goes live, while updates are rolled out via the Play Store. If you don&#8217;t want to wait, or you do not use the Play Store on your device, we also offer .apk files for manual installation.</em></p>
  113. <h3>Alternative Downloads (3327.4)</h3>

  120. <h3>Differences to Final</h3>
  121. <p>The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our users a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main&nbsp;<a href="https://vivaldi.com/android/">Vivaldi Android package</a>.</p>
  122. <p>When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (above). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or directly in the Play Store. When commenting in the Play Store, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.</p>

  145. <p>With the sun now thawing the Nordic part of the world and an <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXD4A9uFHcg" data-type="link" data-id="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kXD4A9uFHcg">active volcanic eruption</a>, it’s been an exciting time at Iceland’s Vivaldi office in Seltjarnarnes, a small town near the capital Reykjavík, which celebrated its 50th birthday. </p>
  146.  
  147.  
  148.  
  149. <p>Joining the celebrations the President of Iceland, Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson also visited our Vivaldi office. President Guðni and his wife First Lady Eliza Jean Reid were on an official trip to Seltjarnarnes and their trip involved getting to know the community and meeting townspeople of all ages.</p>
  150.  
  151.  
  152.  
  153. <p>Having served 2 terms as President of Iceland with this one being his last, it was a pleasure to have him visit the office and talk to him about what Vivaldi is, as a browser, and what we stand for as a company.</p>
  154.  
  155.  
  156.  
  157. <p>But how did this fascinating rendezvous transpire? Our Software Engineer, <a href="https://vivaldi.com/team/">Geir Gunnarson</a> meets with the President once a week—in the ocean for a swim!</p>
  158.  
  159.  
  160.  
  161. <p>Geir and First Lady Eliza Jean Reid worked together previously and were part of the hiking club at their workplace. Geir gladly reveals, “This is when I got to know President Guðni because he joined most of the hikes even if his wife did not.”&nbsp; </p>
  162.  
  163.  
  164.  
  165. <figure class="wp-block-image size-full"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/Icelandic-president-visiting-Vivaldi-1-1.jpg" alt="" class="wp-image-668782"/><figcaption class="wp-element-caption">President Guðni Thorlacius Jóhannesson with our team at the Iceland Vivaldi office in Seltjarnarnes</figcaption></figure>
  166.  
  167.  
  168.  
  169. <p>Later, at the cold water sea-swimming club that was also started, President Guðni was already sea-swimming there! “He’s been an avid swimmer and most active member for a few years. He’s been swimming with me and others every Wednesday of the week and he’s always shown curiosity for Vivaldi and our CEO Jon, who’s also from Seltjarnarnes.”</p>
  170.  
  171.  
  172.  
  173. <p>“President Guðni did not want to miss out on the opportunity to visit <a href="https://vivaldi.com/blog/iceland-beyond-the-office-window/">Innovation House and the Vivaldi office</a> for a tour and learn more. He also wanted his delegation to know more about our browser,” Geir says.</p>
  174.  
  175.  
  176.  
  177. <p>“We talked about how the Vivaldi browser is the most feature-rich browser in the market compared to others and how we challenge Big Tech like Microsoft, Google, and Apple,” continues Geir.</p>
  178.  
  179.  
  180.  
  181. <p>It was a pleasure for our teams in Iceland to meet President Guðni, First Lady Eliza Jean Reid, and his delegation and we wish them all the best in their future endeavors.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

  351. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="960" height="540" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/Marketing_Blog_INVISV-Relay_INVISV-Relay_hero-960x540.png" class="attachment-image-16x9-medium size-image-16x9-medium wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></p>
  352. <p>We all know that the Internet is essential: the first truly global and universal way for humanity to communicate. But it only works because we depend upon others – a huge number of companies – who move our data packets across the network. That means the more you use the Internet, the more your usage creates an indelible pattern that is scooped up by big web companies, Internet Service Providers, data brokers, ad engines, hackers, and so many others. Some take our information for nefarious uses, others for commercial purposes, and others just to make sure we can use their services. Regardless of their motivations, the choice of sharing information is often made for us, not by us.</p>
  353.  
  354.  
  355.  
  356. <p>At Vivaldi we believe that privacy is a fundamental right. We have been hard at work over the years to make sure that your privacy is protected, giving you control over your data. As a company, we have a zero-tracking policy and we try to find ways to help our users to protect their privacy such as by blocking trackers and ads.</p>
  357.  
  358.  
  359.  
  360. <p>Today we&#8217;re announcing a new experimental feature called Privacy Guard in collaboration with <a href="https://invisv.com">Invisv</a>. Privacy Guard gives you multi-party privacy for your browsing, something not available using a VPN service, ensuring that neither Vivaldi, nor Invisv, nor any other companies in the middle of your network communications can see your browsing.</p>
  361.  
  362.  
  363.  
  364. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is Privacy Guard?</strong></h2>
  365.  
  366.  
  367.  
  368. <p>When turned on, Privacy Guard encrypts your web traffic and hides your IP address from websites or services to which you are connecting. In that sense, it functions similarly to a VPN (Virtual Private Network). The difference is in its architecture. Many other browsers have started adding VPNs, but a VPN is not the ideal technology for the job, especially if you want to use it as a privacy feature. A VPN centralises data about your browsing in a single place: at the VPN provider. </p>
  369.  
  370.  
  371.  
  372. <p>Instead, Privacy Guard uses an important new technology called <a href="https://invisv.com/articles/relay.html">Multi-Party Relay</a>, which splits data about your browsing across multiple hops and multiple companies, so none of them see the whole picture.</p>
  373.  
  374.  
  375.  
  376. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is a Multi-Party Relay?</strong></h2>
  377.  
  378.  
  379.  
  380. <p>Multi-Party Relay (MPR), as the name suggests, involves an additional layer in its architecture, the purpose of which is to decouple a user’s identity (IP address and customer information) from their web usage.</p>
  381.  
  382.  
  383. <div class="gallery_div gallery_661489661347661204">
  384. <figure class="wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-1 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex">
  385. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" data-id="661489" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/INVISV-Relay-1.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661489"/></figure>
  386.  
  387.  
  388.  
  389. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" data-id="661347" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/INVISV-Relay-2.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661347"/></figure>
  390.

  393. <figure class="wp-block-image size-large"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" width="1920" height="1080" data-id="661204" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/INVISV-Relay-３.png" alt="" class="wp-image-661204"/></figure>
  394. </figure>
  395. </div><script type="text/javascript">jQuery(document).ready(function() {jQuery(function(){var options = {sourceAttr: "src",captions: true,captionSelector: ".gallery_661489661347661204 .wp-block-gallery figcaption",captionType: "text"};var $gallery661489661347661204 = jQuery(".gallery_661489661347661204 .wp-block-gallery img").simpleLightbox(options);});});</script>
  396.  
  397.  
  398. <p>How does this decoupling work? To start with, a user connects to a first server run by one company, which authenticates the user and then forwards the traffic to the second server run by a different company. This second server connects the user to the destination websites. Since the first server doesn&#8217;t communicate with websites, it doesn&#8217;t know what the user is trying to access on the Internet. Since the second server doesn&#8217;t directly communicate with the user, it doesn&#8217;t know who the user is. Because of this decoupling, no single entity knows both user information and web usage. This is the fundamental difference between VPN and MPR. With VPN, information about the user and their usage are held by a single entity, the VPN provider itself.</p>
  399.  
  400.  
  401.  
  402. <p>If you want to learn more detail about MPR, <a href="https://invisv.com/articles/relay.html">this article written by Invisv</a> is very helpful.</p>
  403.  
  404.  
  405.  
  406. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>How to use Privacy Guard</strong></h2>
  407.  
  408.  
  409.  
  410. <p>Simply turn it on using the toggle button on the tool bar right next to the address bar. You need a Vivaldi.net account in order to use Privacy guard. Privacy Guard is currently an experimental feature only available in Vivaldi snapshot version <strong>3319.12</strong>.</p>
  411.  
  412.  
  413.  
  414. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Who operates the MPR and who is Invisv?</strong></h2>
  415.  
  416.  
  417.  
  418. <p>As mentioned, MPR involves two independent network hops. First hop servers are run by <a href="https://invisv.com">Invisv</a> and second hop servers are run by <a href="https://www.fastly.com">Fastly</a>.</p>
  419.  
  420.  
  421.  
  422. <p>Invisv is founded and run by two network security experts, Paul Schmitt at University of Hawaii and Barath Raghavan at University of Southern California. Their advisers include Bruce Schneier and Jon Callas. They developed Invisv technology while they were at Princeton and USC. We got to know them while back and were quite impressed by the design and the performance of their MPR. We thought it would be interesting to offer it in Vivaldi and let our users experience it.</p>
  423.  
  424.  
  425.  
  426. <h2 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>What is next?</strong></h2>
  427.  
  428.  
  429.  
  430. <p>We are mostly interested in knowing if this is something our users find valuable. If there is enough interest, we may offer this in our stable release as a premium feature at some point in the future after refining our implementation. So to anyone testing the Privacy Guard feature, we would appreciate it if you take your time to answer the survey, which will be shown in the Privacy Guard menu after you have tested it for five days.</p>
  431.  
  432.  
  433.  
  434. <p>Lastly, thanks for using Vivaldi, and please give it a go and let us know what you think.</p>

  529. <p>The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our users a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main&nbsp;<a href="https://vivaldi.com/android/">Vivaldi Android package</a>.</p>
  530. <p>When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (above). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or directly in the Play Store. When commenting in the Play Store, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.</p>

  553. <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img width="960" height="540" src="https://vivaldi.com/wp-content/uploads/User-feedback-960x540.png" class="attachment-image-16x9-medium size-image-16x9-medium wp-post-image" alt="" decoding="async" loading="lazy" /></p>
  554. <p>We&#8217;ve got a story to tell—one that&#8217;s all about you, our incredible users, and how your feedback helps us continuously steer our ship in the right direction.</p>
  555.  
  556.  
  557.  
  558. <p>Picture this: We were on a mission to unify the menus and toolbars across <a href="http://vivaldi.com/iOS">iOS</a> and <a href="https://vivaldi.com/android/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/android/">Android</a> platforms. Sounds straightforward, right? Well, as with any grand endeavor, we hit a few bumps along the way. But fear not, because where there&#8217;s a will to improve, there&#8217;s always a way.</p>
  559.  
  560.  
  561.  
  562. <p>On the latest version of Vivaldi on Android, we found ourselves facing some extra settings and conditions that weren&#8217;t present on iOS. This led us to make some compromises in the pursuit of a cohesive product design.</p>
  563.  
  564.  
  565.  
  566. <p>But let&#8217;s face it – despite our best intentions, these changes led to unintended consequences. And that&#8217;s exactly what happened when we set out to unify menus and toolbars with <a href="https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-android-6-6/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-android-6-6/">Vivaldi 6.6 on Android</a>.</p>
  567.  
  568.  
  569.  
  570. <p>For the sake of consistency and streamlining the user experience, we made a couple of decisions that didn&#8217;t, for good reasons, sit quite right with some of you.</p>
  571.  
  572.  
  573.  
  574. <p>While doing this, we also had to prioritize enough room for the website’s URL, one of the most important security indicators in a browser. A URL lets you see what website you’re visiting so you’ll know that your secure connection is to the correct website.</p>
  575.  
  576.  
  577.  
  578. <p>The most important part of a URL is the domain name, such as &#8220;vivaldi.com&#8221;, not any parts that might appear before it. For this reason, we focus on the right side of the domain name in the address field and try to make it big enough that the vast majority of domain names can be seen without needing to scroll sideways.</p>
  579.  
  580.  
  581.  
  582. <p>Taking these factors into consideration, we then decided to remove the panel button when tabs were positioned at the bottom. We thought this was a reasonable compromise given the limited space available for the URL field to be sufficiently visible.</p>
  583.  
  584.  
  585.  
  586. <p>Next, we removed a setting that allowed users to always display the Home button under similar circumstances – when tabs were positioned at the bottom. Again, our rationale was rooted in design constraints, but we realized quickly that some users value the convenience of having the Home button readily accessible.</p>
  587.  
  588.  
  589.  
  590. <p>Despite our best intentions, these changes didn&#8217;t resonate with everyone. And that&#8217;s okay. Because at Vivaldi, we firmly believe in changing course and turning things around when you, our users, think it’s necessary. <a href="https://vivaldi.com/company/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/company/">We&#8217;re here to listen, learn, and grow together.</a></p>
  591.  
  592.  
  593.  
  594. <div style="padding: 100% 0 0 0; position: relative;"><iframe style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%;" title="Your feedback matters at Vivaldi" src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/932827960?h=5522899b61&amp;badge=0&amp;autopause=0&amp;player_id=0&amp;app_id=58479" frameborder="0"></iframe></div>
  595.  
  596.  
  597.  
  598. <p>Let&#8217;s take a moment to contrast our approach with a little trip down memory lane. Recently we talked about <a href="https://vivaldi.com/blog/youre-holding-it-wrong/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/blog/youre-holding-it-wrong/">a time when Apple</a>, instead of acknowledging the problem in their product and working towards a solution, deflected blame onto its users.</p>
  599.  
  600.  
  601.  
  602. <p>Here&#8217;s the thing: We&#8217;re not here to sweep our blunders under the rug, brush off your feedback, and pass the blame onto you. We&#8217;re here to make things right. Because at the end of the day, Vivaldi is your browser, and <a href="https://vivaldi.com/features/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/features/">we want you to browse the way you want.</a></p>
  603.  
  604.  
  605.  
  606. <p>So, what did we do? Well, first off, we listened. We heard your concerns loud and clear, and we went back to the drawing board. We realized that compromising on features that matter to you isn&#8217;t the way to go. So, we put our heads together and came up with solutions.</p>
  607.  
  608.  
  609.  
  610. <p>We reinstated the panel button on Android devices with tabs at the bottom; and as for the Home button setting? It&#8217;s back too. We want you to feel in control of your browsing experience, and that means giving you the options you need to make it your own.</p>
  611.  
  612.  
  613.  
  614. <p>But our commitment to putting you first doesn&#8217;t stop with that. We&#8217;re always looking for ways to improve, and your feedback is our compass.</p>
  615.  
  616.  
  617.  
  618. <p>Especially because we don&#8217;t track your actions in the browser. This makes it even more important for us that as many people as possible express their wishes and annoyances throughout our <a href="https://forum.vivaldi.net" data-type="link" data-id="https://forum.vivaldi.net">forums</a> or various <a href="https://vivaldi.com/social/" data-type="link" data-id="https://vivaldi.com/social/">social media channels</a>.</p>
  619.  
  620.  
  621.  
  622. <p>You can also leave us your review on the <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vivaldi.browser&amp;hl=en&amp;gl=US">Google Play Store</a> or <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/vivaldi-powerful-web-browser/id1633234600">App Store</a> (yes, we read them all!), we want to hear from you. Your insights, suggestions, and even your constructive criticism help shape the future of Vivaldi.</p>
  623.  
  624.  
  625.  
  626. <p>In addition to addressing your specific concerns, we also take every opportunity to fine-tune other aspects of the Vivaldi experience. From performance enhancements to bug fixes, we&#8217;re constantly striving to raise the bar and deliver the best possible browsing experience for you.</p>
  627.  
  628.  
  629.  
  630. <p>Your feedback matters. Whether it&#8217;s a word of praise, a suggestion for improvement, or a bug report, every bit of input you provide helps us make Vivaldi better, stronger, and more yours.</p>
  631.  
  632.  
  633.  
  634. <p>As we continue on this journey together, don’t hesitate—drop us a line, join the conversation on our forums, or hit us up on social media. After all, Vivaldi isn&#8217;t just a browser—it&#8217;s a community. And together, there&#8217;s a lot we can accomplish.</p>
  635.  
  636.  
  637.  
  638. <p>Until next time, happy browsing!</p>

  656. <p>In recent times we have had issues with our address field getting stuck for some users during typing, after a first match is selected. At that point any subsequent typing does not change the result. While we have tried a few different approaches, we know this is still the case some of you. If you are hitting this issue, please comment below with any details about your setup, that you think might be relevant. In addition it would be usefule to know the types of completions that get stuck.</p>
  657. <p>Somewhat related to this, our 6.6 stable release, the previous snapshot and this one take three slightly different approaches to matching items in your history. If you see performance differences between these three versions please comment. Let us know which one performs best for you. Once again, any further details such as how much history you have might help us. Or indeed any other observations that you think might be relevant.</p>
