Vivaldi has released a major update for its desktop browser on Wedneday. The latest Vivaldi desktop browser update bumps it to the version 3.0. It adds built-in Tracker and ad blockers. As it is Vivaldi does not track you, and now it won’t let others track you either.
As per the company, the new Vivaldi desktop browser version 3.0 adds a Tracker blocker which protects you from the ubiquitous web trackers. It blocks continuous background crawling on the major websites. Essentially, it’ll not let those gather your personal information, and this has been made this possible with DuckDuckGo partnership.
“The way Vivaldi blocks trackers is by relying on a list of well-known tracker URLs and stopping requests to those URLs before they are sent. When it comes to the choice of lists, we are proud to be partnering with DuckDuckGo and incorporate DuckDuckGo’s Tracker Radar-powered blocklist. This is the same list used in the DuckDuckGo Privacy Essentials extension and Privacy Browser mobile app. It blocks most of the known trackers out there,” noted Julien Picalausa on Vivaldi blog.
