Vivaldi developers have been ahead of the big G by having the honor of launching the first browser available for Android Automotive. The Vivaldi navigator is extremely complete and none of its functions are spared in its version for cars.

Drivers can open different tabs in the browser and use the translation function of the web pages. In addition, they have the ability to play YouTube videos or any other streaming content platform . And of course, you can’t miss the indispensable ad blocker and tracking protection tool.

As it is a navigator for cars, Vivaldi has some important restrictions to prevent the user from being distracted while driving the vehicle. The navigator can only be used when the car is parked or stopped . If a video is playing, it will go to audio-only mode if the vehicle starts to drive. Similarly, the browser does not allow the download of all types of files, however, in this particular its developers do not explain the reason for this restriction.
