Vivaldi is the first browser with built-in anti-surveillance protection thanks to the Tracker Radar integration from DuckDuckGo, which provides simple and effective protection against some websites trying to track user activity.
The desktop version of Vivaldi also continues to add new handy features:
1. timer watch,
2. Improved spatial navigation,
3. huge list of browser customization options.
Built-in Surveillance Blocker
Vivaldi does not track the activity of its users, and now it does not allow everyone else to do so either.
A built-in blocker will neutralize some sites’ attempts to collect information about users’ online activity. This tool appeared in Vivaldi browser thanks to Tracker Radar integration from DuckDuckGo, which uses constantly updated lists of unfavorable websites.
- The surveillance blocker is controlled through a shield icon placed in the address bar. An icon informs the user of the current protection level for the page in question.
- Three levels of blocking are available, and the user can either use one general level for all sites, or set a specific level for each site. More blocker configuration options can be found in the browser settings, under Privacy.
In particular, in the settings, users can place certain websites on an exclusion list, as well as make more fine-tuned blocking settings for each website.
Ad blocker
In addition to blocking spyware, it is also possible to block unwanted ads on the pages you view. This avoids the need to install additional browser extensions that can compromise user privacy and slow down the browser.
Ad blocker is disabled by default, so users can decide for themselves which websites can profit from displaying ads.
Vivaldi allows users to control their level of protection against unwanted ads.
The total number of blocked surveillance attempts and ads can be viewed by clicking on the ad blocker icon in the address bar. You can edit the list of blocking exceptions in the settings.
Faster navigation
Vivaldi offers spatial navigation. It allows you to browse the web using a minimal set of keys.
The new browser features the ability to navigate between links on a page by holding down the Shift key and using the arrow keys, which greatly speeds up.
The clock in the status bar
Button with a clock displays the current time, including the use of the second hand.
Pressing the clock provides access to a built-in timer and alarm clock that the user can reconfigure as desired.
In addition, the user can create their own preset alarm clocks for different needs.

Why should I install Vivaldi if I’m afraid of being followed? Does it provide any additional privacy or security features that other browsers don’t?
Could you please elaborate on how installing Vivaldi can help in preventing being followed?
