The short story
Vivaldi is a browser from Norway with a built-in ad and tracker blocker, notes, mail and calendar. It does not profile you for advertising, and you can shape the look and layout entirely to your taste.
Why we picked it
- Switching from Chrome is painless — your Chrome extensions still work.
- Built-in tracker blocking with no add-ons.
- Tab stacks and workspaces keep busy days tidy.
Good to know
- So many settings it can feel busy at first — the defaults are fine.
