Vivaldi users will now be able to check their emails, calendar and RSS feeds through in-browser tools: Version 4.0 launches today, and includes Vivaldi Mail beta, which is a more private alternative to web applications made by “big tech” companies. Even putting aside any potential privacy gains, Vivaldi offers something power users might want: an all-in-one app for browsing, emailing, and planning.
The email client supports IMAP and POP accounts, so you can connect the vast majority of email services to it, and you can easily open messages in tabs instead of grabbing the current window—handy if you’re the kind of person who often needs to bounce between emails. Searching is also, in my experience, very fast.
Having your email as a sidebar can be useful to quickly check if you have unread messages.
The calendar and RSS reader also includes most of the features I’d expect, along with some really nice bonuses. For example, the RSS reader also supports YouTube channels, which can be useful for those who worry about an algorithm’s decision not to display creator videos.
You can mix RSS feeds, YouTube videos, and even podcasts if you want.
Another major feature of this Vivaldi update is the inline translation. The browser will be able to translate entire web pages (automatically, if you like) in 50 languages starting today, but the company says it will expand to support 109 languages soon. While the mail tools are on desktop only, translation is also available on Vivaldi for Android.
Vivaldi has also come up with a solution for those who don’t want these features taking up space in their browser: You’ll be able to choose from three layouts, which will give you a basic web browser, one with a little more power-of-user features or an all-in-one experience with email, calendars and RSS. All features will still be available, even in the Basics layout, but they won’t take up space in the interface.
The layout options can prevent you from getting bored if you don’t want all the extra features
It can be said that since many people manage their email and calendars on websites, most browsers have this functionality. But for those (like me) whose emails and calendars are spread across multiple accounts, the dedicated tools are a lot less tricky to deal with. Vivaldi now offers the power that comes with custom tools, with the convenience of never having to leave your browser.
