Web Browser Vivaldi 2.8 has been released
Norwegian company Vivaldi Technologies released a new version of the company's Vivaldi web browser on September 20, 2019 to the public.
Vivaldi 2.8 is an update for the desktop web browser that improves the browser's synchronization functionality to better support the recently released Android version of Vivaldi.
Vivaldi released the first Android version in September 2019 as a beta app with some handy features such as the improved tab switching interface or note taking functionality.
The mobile browser was a much requested feature by the Vivaldi community. Sync has been built-into the mobile browser from the get-go to synchronize data between different devices.
Vivaldi users may sync data between multiple Android devices but also between desktop and Android devices to ensure that their personal data is always available regardless of device they are using.
Vivaldi 2.8
Vivaldi Technologies highlights synchronization improvements as the main new feature in Vivaldi 2.8.
With Vivaldi’s new version on desktop, users can expect improvements across the board while navigating on their devices. Users can now take Vivaldi – and their Bookmarks and Speed Dials, saved passwords and autofill information, History (with only typed URLs) and uniquely Notes – everywhere.
Users can sign-up for a free Vivaldi account to use the sync functionality. All it takes then is to sign-in under Vivaldi Menu > Settings > Sync to synchronize data between devices.
Tip: you get a Vivaldi email account when you sign-up for an account. While there is little information on the promised email client at this point, it is still probable that Vivaldi will introduce it in the future (similar to how classic Opera featured a built-in email client).
Vivaldi 2.8 features additional improvements; engineers resolved several bugs and issues and "polished" some rough edges. The company notes that Vivaldi 2.8 should feel a lot "snappier and efficient". The entire changelog is listed on the official Vivaldi Blog post.
The Chromium version that Vivaldi is based on was upgraded to version 77.0.3865.78.
Closing Words
Making sure that sync works fine and without any issues is one of the most important steps after the release of the first Android version of Vivaldi. Vivaldi users may sync some or all browsing data between devices to have access to the data on desktop and mobile Android devices.
Next milestone is the release of a stable version of Vivaldi for Android.
Now You: Have you used Vivaldi recently?
Doesn’t Windows 8 know that www. or http:// are passe ?
Well it is a bit difficulty to distinguish between name.com domains and files for instance.
I know a service made by google that is similar to Google bookmarks.

@Ashwin–Thankful you delighted my comment; who knows how many “gamers” would have disagreed!
@Martin
The comments section under this very article (3 comments) is identical to the comments section found under the following article:
https://www.ghacks.net/2023/08/15/netflix-is-testing-game-streaming-on-tvs-and-computers/
Not sure what the issue is, but have seen this issue under some other articles recently but did not report it back then.
Omg a badge!!!
Some tangible reward lmao.
It sucks that redditors are going to love the fuck out of it too.
With the cloud, there is no such thing as unlimited storage or privacy. Stop relying on these tech scums. Purchase your own hardware and develop your own solutions.
This is a certified reddit cringe moment. Hilarious how the article’s author tries to dress it up like it’s anything more than a png for doing the reddit corporation’s moderation work for free (or for bribes from companies and political groups)
Almost al unlmited services have a real limit.

For the God’s sake, fix the comments soon please! :[
Yes. Please. Fix the comments.
With Google Chrome, it’s only been 1,500 for some time now.
Anyone who wants to force me in such a way into buying something that I can get elsewhere for free will certainly never see a single dime from my side. I don’t even know how stupid their marketing department is to impose these limits on users instead of offering a valuable product to the paying faction. But they don’t. Even if you pay, you get something that is also available for free elsewhere.
The algorithm has also become less and less savvy in terms of e.g. English/German translations. It used to be that the bot could sort of sense what you were trying to say and put it into different colloquialisms, which was even fun because it was like, “I know what you’re trying to say here, how about…” Now it’s in parts too stupid to translate the simplest sentences correctly, and the suggestions it makes are at times as moronic as those made by Google Translations.
If this is a deep-learning AI that learns from users’ translations and the phrases they choose most often – which, by the way, is a valuable, moneys worthwhile contribution of every free user to this project: They invest their time and texts, thereby providing the necessary data for the AI to do the thing as nicely as they brag about it in the first place – alas, the more unprofessional users discovered the translator, the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, the greater the aggregate of linguistically illiterate users has become, and the worse the language of this deep-learning bot has become, as it now learns the drivel of every Tom, Dick and Harry out there, which is why I now get their Mickey Mouse language as suggestions: the inane language of people who can barely spell the alphabet, it seems.
And as a thank you for our time and effort in helping them and their AI learn, they’ve lowered the limit from what was once 5,000 to now 1,500…? A big “fuck off” from here for that! Not a brass farthing from me for this attitude and behaviour, not in a hundred years.
