Vivaldi

Vivaldi at a glance

Vivaldi is a highly customizable, Chromium-based web browser popular with power users, on many machines. Vivaldi ships frequent releases tracking Chromium's security fixes; as an internet-facing application that renders untrusted content, prompt updates are essential.

For admins Vivaldi inherits Chromium's rapid security cadence, so keeping it current is the main task — the built-in updater handles standalone installs, and managed fleets deploy it through software distribution. Because it's Chromium-based, much Chrome/Edge policy and tooling applies. Extensions run with the browser's privileges — curate them in sensitive environments. After Chromium security releases, confirm Vivaldi has picked up the fix (it usually follows quickly). Keep it in the software inventory and patch cycle rather than letting stale copies accumulate. Patchletter surfaces new Vivaldi releases so Chromium-derived security fixes aren't missed.
