Can we start to gather information on the technologies used in this? I know that Blink is used as the rendering engine and have heard that there is some NodeJS and modules going on. What about the JS engine, can we find more details? Wrxahedron (talk) 21:09, 27 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Obviously, they called it Vivaldi, because Vivaldi wrote Operas. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.232.230.52 (talk) 18:15, 6 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an advertisement

Most of the article, especially the "Features" section looks like it was just copied and pasted from the Vivaldi website. This should be cleaned up to be more than just a mirror of their page. Fench (talk) 20:46, 4 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Fench. I concur. It is indeed a problem. If I had a little more free time, maybe I could fix it. Best regards, Codename Lisa (talk) 02:33, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Done - see what you think. - Ahunt (talk) 16:02, 5 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good to me! Fench (talk) 18:29, 6 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for that! I just wanted to get down the content and didn't really focus on the formatting. JC713 (talk) 17:08, 8 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Deletion?

I've never heard of Vivaldi. If I had heard it mentioned somewhere, I'd certainly look it up on Wikipedia. Therefore I think the article ought not to be deleted. Some people will hear of it and look for it here. It should be here.

Its optimistic tone could well be toned down. It could perhaps mention 'intentions' to develop the product instead of making it look like a sure thing.

BTW I clicked on the image and nothing happened except that it opened something I could not get rid of; had to close down the tab and start over. --Hordaland (talk) 20:35, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

You can note that the deletion discussion is at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Vivaldi (web browser), not here. I just checked the image on the page and when the thumbnail is clicked on it loads fine, at least in Firefox 36.0.1 on Linux. - Ahunt (talk) 20:41, 10 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Update Cycle

The August 14, 2016 version of the article reads "The browser is updated weekly," but I cannot confirm that.

I want to know how often the software is updated. If someone can find a history, calendar, or quote; cite it; and update the article, I would appreciate it.

There does not seem to be a clear policy. Though Tatsuki Tomita uses the title "Weekly snapshot 1.0.123.10 is available for download". Other posts in the category Vivaldi updates show updates every few days around the beginning of August 2016. Kxykzz (talk) 17:20, 14 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Employee Owned

I think it is notable that this is an employee owned company. Binaryhazard (talk) 08:04, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

If you have a ref that says that it would best belong in Vivaldi Technologies.- Ahunt (talk) 12:37, 4 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why was this removed from Category:Vivaldi Technologies?

Why was this page removed from Category:Vivaldi Technologies?Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 08:17, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi.

There is no such template.

Best regards,

Codename Lisa (talk) 10:24, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Exactly, because the category doesn't exist. I have no problem with adding it if the category is created, but we don't normally have red-linked categories on articles. - Ahunt (talk) 12:25, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I thought. I figured you removed the category because it was a redlink. But I couden't be sure, because for some reason, edit summaries aren't showing up on the history page for me! Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 13:05, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is odd, perhaps it is a browser issue? The edit summaries are all visible in Firefox 49.0.2 for me. My edit summary for that removal actually said (category seems to not exist). - Ahunt (talk) 13:07, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I think you're right. The edit summaries seem to show up fine in my Firefox, ~~but they're not showing up in Vivaldi 1.4.589.38 for me. And switching to the Monobook skin doesn't help.~~ Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 13:20, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is ironic that the Vivaldi article doesn't show right in the Vivaldi browser! - Ahunt (talk) 13:49, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Turns out, the problem isn't Vivaldi itself. It's a Chrome\Vivaldi extension for hiding comments on websites, called Shut Up (apparently, Shut Up's mistaking the edit summaries for web-comments). Fortunately, Shut Up has a whitelist: I whitelisted Wikipedia, and edit summaries seem to be working fine now. Emmette Hernandez Coleman (talk) 14:08, 4 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Why "Vivaldi version history" page was removed and replaced by redirect link?

Hi all!

The question for CapitalSasha. Why you did it? The reason?

Cannot add a screenshot of Vivaldi

I tried adding a screenshot of Vivaldi in actual use, to highlight some features. I hit some filter when I try to upload the screenshot. No idea why. Can anyone please help?
