Vivaldi is a
freeware,
cross-platform web browser developed by
Vivaldi Technologies, a company founded by
Opera Software co-founder and former
CEO Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner and Tatsuki Tomita. The browser was officially launched on April 12, 2016.
[9][10] The browser is aimed at staunch technologists, heavy
Internet users, and previous
Opera web browser users disgruntled by Opera's transition from the
Presto layout engine to the
Blink layout engine, which removed many popular features.
[9][11] Vivaldi aims to revive the old, popular features of Opera 12.
[12] The browser has gained popularity since the launch of its first
technical preview.
[13][14] The browser has 1 million users as of January 2017.

History
Vivaldi began as a
virtual community website that replaced
My Opera, which was shut down by
Opera Software in March 2014.
[16] Jon Stephenson von Tetzchner was angered by this decision because he believed that this community helped make the
Opera web browser what it was. Tetzchner then launched the Vivaldi Community—a virtual community focused on providing registered users with a discussion
forum,
blogging service, and numerous other practical
web services—to make up for My Opera's closure. Later, on January 27, 2015, Vivaldi Technologies launched—with the community in mind
[17]—the first technical preview of the Vivaldi web browser.
[13] Its name comes from the Italian composer
Antonio Vivaldi, which according to one of its creators, is an easy name to be remembered and understood worldwide.
