The latest version of Vivaldi on the desktop gets more powerful and personal, and ensures secure data syncing across platforms including Android, iOS, and in cars.

Google’s Topics API will not be enabled in Vivaldi, and it cannot work in Vivaldi. It would need two things to make it work, and we have disabled both of them.

  1. It would need a setting enabled for it to collect local profiles about you. We disable the setting by default, and we forcibly do it in a way that means that changes to Chromium cannot remotely enable it. We do not provide any settings UI to allow you to change it, and we will soon remove the new Chromium settings section for it. (Technically, you could enable it by editing your settings or installing an extension that manipulates it. However, all that would do is enable local data collection. It will not be used because of #2)

  2. Before exposing the Topics API information to websites, Chromium checks if the setting is enabled or disabled. We forcibly make it always return “disabled”, even if it is enabled. So that even if you somehow manage to bypass #1 and enable local profile collection, it will not expose it to Google or other websites.

 

Vivaldi on desktop enables the “Browser windows in Portal”: an underlying change to how Vivaldi handles multiple windows to open faster & reduces memory usage.

Get Vivaldi 6.2 now.

If those you wish to have a video call with already have each others phone numbers then Signal is a option. It supports up to 40 participants. Available on Android, iPhone, Windows, Mac and Linux.

Signal has other great chat/messaging features too.
Also a unofficial community on Kbin

 

So i just checked in on Desktop Beta 117 and noticed that CBR is available in settings so i started to wonder if anyone has any clue if there are plans to implement this on the iPhone/iPad app?
