Vivaldi es un programa gratuito , multiplataforma navegador web desarrollado por Vivaldi Tecnologías , una empresa fundada por Tatsuki Tomita y Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner , que era el co-fundador y CEO de Opera Software . Vivaldi se lanzó oficialmente el 6 de abril de 2016. [10] [11]

Aunque está destinado a usuarios generales, está dirigido principalmente a usuarios con inclinaciones técnicas, así como a antiguos usuarios de Opera descontentos por su transición del motor de diseño Presto a un navegador basado en Chromium que resultó en la pérdida de muchas de sus características icónicas. [10] [12] A pesar de estar también basado en Chromium, Vivaldi tiene como objetivo revivir las características de Opera basada en Presto con sus propias modificaciones patentadas . [13] [14]

En abril de 2020, [ necesita actualización ] Vivaldi tenía 1,5 millones de usuarios activos mensuales. [15]

Vivaldi lanzó una versión beta para dispositivos móviles (Android) el 6 de septiembre de 2019 y un lanzamiento regular el 22 de abril de 2020. [16] [17]

Historia [ editar ]

Vivaldi comenzó como un sitio web de comunidad virtual que reemplazó a My Opera , que fue cerrado por Opera Software en marzo de 2014. [18] Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner estaba enojado con esta decisión porque creía que esta comunidad ayudó a que el navegador web Opera fuera lo que era. . Luego, Tetzchner lanzó la Comunidad Vivaldi, una comunidad virtual enfocada en brindar a los usuarios registrados un foro de discusión , servicio de blogs y muchos otros servicios web prácticos , para compensar el cierre de My Opera. Posteriormente, el 27 de enero de 2015, se lanzó Vivaldi Technologies [19]la primera vista previa técnica del navegador web Vivaldi. [20] Su nombre proviene del compositor italiano Antonio Vivaldi , que, según uno de sus creadores, es un nombre fácil de recordar y comprender en todo el mundo. [11]

Lanzamientos [ editar ]

Features[edit]

Vivaldi 1.0.228.3 displaying the Wikipedia homepage in its "Chromeless UI" mode

User interface[edit]

Vivaldi has a minimalistic user interface with basic icons and fonts, and a color scheme that changes based on the background and design of the web page being visited.[61] The browser also allows users to customize the appearance of UI elements such as background color, overall theme, address bar and tab positioning, and start pages.[62] According to CEO Jon von Tetzchner, Vivaldi's vast, unique customizability is a huge part of how the browser caters to experienced users.[63]

Vivaldi features the ability to "stack" and "tile" tabs, annotate web pages, and add notes to bookmarks.[64][65] Furthermore, users can place digital bookmarks on a "speed dial" page for quick access and harness "quick commands" to search bookmarks, browsing history, open tabs, and settings.[66] Vivaldi is built around and based on web technologies such as HTML5, Node.js, React.js, and numerous NPM modules.[67] As of Technical Preview 4, Vivaldi also supports numerous mouse gestures for actions like tab switching and keyboard activation.[63] Vivaldi can also be set to a "Chromeless UI", which gives users more screen real-estate and the ability to focus on a single page without distractions.[68] To accommodate users who prefer to use a large number of tabs at the same time, Vivaldi supports hibernation for both individual tabs and for tab stacks, freeing resources while the user does not actively use those tabs.

Extensions[edit]

Vivaldi can use many browser extensions developed for Google Chrome and Firefox (they use common WebExtensions API[69]), and users can install extensions directly from the Chrome Web Store. Most of these work properly in Vivaldi, with the exception of user interface customizations, because Vivaldi's interface is quite different from Chrome's.[70][71]

Future additions[edit]

The company hopes to integrate an email client into a future version of the browser, and also plans to release their own extension platform.[72]

Market share[edit]

In version 2.10, the browser identification was changed from Vivaldi to Chromium. For this reason, since then Vivaldi has almost disappeared from stats counters.[73]

Reception[edit]

Ars Technica reviewer Scott Gilbertson wrote about version 1.0 in April 2016. He praised its innovative features, such as its tab handling, while noting that it will most likely remain a niche browser and not see widespread uptake.[74] In October 2018, Gilbertson gave version 2.0 a very positive review and stated that Vivaldi is now his usual browser and that he would be hard put to go back to a browser without its unique features.[75]
