## Review summary

Reviews consistently praise Vivaldi for deep customization, desktop-like features on mobile, and a fast, smooth UI, with positive notes on built-in ad blocking. However, users repeatedly raise privacy concerns about data tracking, argue that anonymity controls don’t always work, and report frequent bugs/regressions after updates (tab grouping, gestures). Ad blocking reliability is mixed, with some experiences showing ads still appearing or blockers failing. Many want more desktop features on mobile and broader customization (e.g., bottom navigation). Overall, a powerful, feature-rich browser with notable stability and privacy/advertising disagreements.

### Pros

- Extensive customization and power-user features (endless settings, keyboard/mouse support, tab management).
- Desktop-like features on mobile and strong cross-device parity (workspaces, tiling, tablet/phone usability).
- Smooth, fast interface and overall ease of use.
- Built-in ad blocking and privacy-oriented design (ad-free experiences and privacy features).

### Cons

- Privacy concerns: data tracking and anonymity controls that don't fully work.
- Frequent bugs and regressions after updates (tab groups, gestures, QA issues).
- Ad blocking reliability is mixed: ads still appear or blockers fail.
- Missing desktop features and customization on mobile (desire for more options, bottom navigation).
