Vivaldi 7.7 launches on mobile with loads of goodies for Android users

Vivaldi 7.7 for Mobile has just been released with several highly requested features predominantly for Android users, along with key stability improvements for iOS. One of the big features in the Android update allows you to add any search engine, including specialized ones like internal knowledge bases, university library catalogs, and niche databases.

The company said that these search engines can be added easily by long-pressing on a search field on a website and selecting “Add as Search Engine”. Another improvement in Vivaldi 7.7 is the bookmark import functionality to make switching from other browsers pain-free, allowing users to bring all their bookmarks. Exporting bookmarks is also available for backing up or moving them somewhere else.

Aside from improved search engine and bookmark functionality, there are also improvements to the dark mode experience across the browser for more comfortable viewing. In addition, the Dark Mode checkbox for toggling dark mode on web pages has been restored to the Vivaldi Menu.

For those on iOS, the update includes improvements for iOS 26 compatibility. There are also under-the-hood optimizations to ensure Vivaldi runs steadier and quicker on the latest Apple devices. Both the Android and iOS versions have new underlying rendering engines, with both now being on Chromium 142.0.7444.180. The update also includes fixes for the tablet/iPad UI, address field behavior, and dark mode consistency.

To start using the new browser, just head to your respective app store and check for updates. If you don’t have the browser yet, just hit install. If you want to check out the full changelog, head over to Vivaldi’s announcement and scroll down.

Vivaldi 7.7 for the desktop launched last week. It came with a new Privacy Dashboard, cross-device tab syncing, and a new Performance section in settings to give you more power over how the browser uses system resources.
