Vivaldi 3.0 releases: new Tracker blocker, Ad blocker, Clock and more

by ·

Vivaldi Technologies today officially released the Vivaldi 3.0 stable version which is available for GNU/Linux, macOS, and Windows desktop platforms. A major change is the new Tracker blocker, Adblocker, Clock, and more.

In the Tracker interceptor, Vivaldi integrates DuckDuckGo’s Tracker Radar, which can seamlessly protect users from the network trackers that collect users’ personal information. To improve privacy protection, Vivaldi promises to never track users.
