Vivaldi 2.12 with new Tracking Blocker function

A new Vivaldi browser snapshot brings additional options to keep your privacy safe.

Today's 2.12.1838.3 συμπεριλαμβάνει το Tracker Blocker, καθώς και ορισμένες βελτιώσεις που έγιναν στη Spatial Navigation.

Vivaldi started as an app with the promise of a highly customizable, fully functional, innovative browser. It seems that the developers are trying to keep their promises, as at the moment there is no other browser in the market that offers so many options and features.

The Vivaldi app is built on the Chrome engine, targeting power users. Vivaldi was created by the former co-founder of Opera and developed with the usability and power of Opera browser in mind.

Vivaldi is now working with DuckDuckGo and uses her list s DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials. This list blocks most of the well-known trackers without showing problems on websites. It is based on DuckDuckGo Tracker Radar, which crawls the web constantly searching for and tracking trackers on important sites.

This feature is not enabled by default in this dev snapshot, so you will need to enable it to try it out. Visit a site and click the new shield icon to the left of the URL to turn off site tracking.

The new app also brings another new option to the – Privacy – Content Blocker – Tracking Blocker. Enable Block Tracker on all websites so that it is enabled by default across the web.

This will allow you to use the shield icon to disable (or enable) site tracking.

In addition to the above, Vivaldi has added another feature called "Spatial Navigation". Allows the user to browse websites with his keyboard by holding down "Shift" and using the arrow keys. If you want to try out the new Spatial Navigation, you can enable it from: Settings - Webpages - Spatial Navigation.
