Thirteen years in, and we've just shipped our most ambitious update yet. Vivaldi 8.0 has a bold new look we call Unified. Every toolbar now sits on one continuous surface, giving you new ways to customize your browser across the whole window, edge to edge. With six layouts to start from - then make it all yours. Every color, every toolbar, every pixel. Your browser. Your rules.
13 years building the same belief: your browser should adapt to you, not the other way around.
Vivaldi 8.0 is the biggest thing we've shipped in years, and it starts with how the browser feels.
We call it Unified.
Previously, Vivaldi's interface was a collection of layers (tabs, toolbars, panels, content), each subtly separated. Useful, but fragmented. With Unified, those boundaries are gone. Everything now lives on one continuous surface that wraps the entire browser. Alignment becomes more precise, spacing more intentional, and interaction more direct, because elements no longer sit in isolated layers.
If you love the look you've already got, it's still right there in Settings.
What's new in 8.0:
Your theme flows across the whole window, edge to edge
Six layouts to kickstart customizing the browser to your needs
7,000+ community themes to explore
No tracking. No AI sitting between you and the web deciding what you see. Just you and the web. On desktop, mobile, and yes, your car.
Your browser. Your rules.

Vivaldi 8.0 looks like a huge step forward for browser customization and productivity 👏
The new unified design, layout presets, and vertical tab experience already feel super polished. Love seeing a browser that still focuses on power users and privacy instead of just copying everyone else. Curious to see how the community adapts these new workflows! 🚀
