New release of Vivaldi on Android as well. Version 7.0. Big improvement here is the faster sync.

@jon I recently switched over to Vivaldi on desktop (Microsoft Surface Pro 9) as well as Android (Pixel 9 Pro). I was on the fence about making Vivaldi my default browser for a few months mainly due to inconsistent sync performance. The latency in sync was making it very hard to use as I switch between Android and Desktop a lot. Glad to see that 7.0 has improved the sync drastically. The sync performance is noticeably better in 7.0. But, I will be honest, it still has some room for improvements to be on par with Brave (not comparing to big tech browsers like Chrome or Edge). Sometimes I have to close the browsers on the desktop and the phone to let the sync trigger. I also have placed vivaldi:sync-internals on the side panel and use "Trigger GetUpdates" to sync the browsers manually. It works perfectly. But, an option in the browser at the top near the sync cloud to manually sync would be awesome. One more feature that I miss from Brave is the global media control button near the address bar, which makes it easy to control media playing in one of the tabs.

I absolutely admire Vivaldi's vision and mission. I would love to join the millions to be a part of this journey to promote and respect user privacy without compromising on innovative features. So tired of the big tech. Awesome work :clapping: @Vivaldi

@[email protected] @[email protected] I wonder if Vivaldi will ever release its own rendering engine on iPadOS and drop any WebKit dependencies any time soon?
I thought that Apples monopoly has fallen already in that area, at least in the EU?

@[email protected] Would be great to have an option to enable "pill-shaped" tabs on mobile as well
