Google Chrome is the world's number one desktop browser and Microsoft Edge is offered as the default option on Windows 10, but neither have the je ne sais quoi you can find in Vivaldi.

Because yes, Vivaldi was, is, and will continue being a browser coming by having an insane arsenal of features, and while some say it's an underdog of this software category, you just have to give it a try to finally figure out what its magic is all about.

And version 4.0, that is currently available on all supported platforms, brings this magic to a brand-new level.

The changelog is absolutely huge, and thus may be the official announcement, but I'm going to highlight the primary improvements within this latest version just to know what to anticipate when downloading Vivaldi 4.0.

First of all, the browser now comes with Vivaldi Translate, a built-in translation engine run by Lingvanex which comes pre-loaded using the browser. Also available on Android and Chromebooks, the translation feature includes one major benefit: it runs on Vivaldi servers in Iceland, therefore the data is not uploaded to third parties to operate the translation.

Hello, Vivaldi Mail!

Vivaldi 4.0 also comes with new tools, including early betas of Vivaldi Mail, Calendar, and Feed Reader.

You can easily determine their intention simply by reading their names, but there's something I want to highlight about the mail client: it supports pretty much every account, including IMAP, POP3, and Google accounts. Exchange support doesn't appear to be available just yet, but as with everything Vivaldi, it's probably only a matter of time until it's being added if enough feedback in connection with this is received.

And finally, Vivaldi 4.0 now comes with a modern first-run experience that allows users to automatically configure the browser how they want using three pre-loaded configurations called Essentials, Classic, and Fully Loaded. If you're a power user, you'll probably stick with fully loaded, since it includes everything plus the beta builds of Vivaldi Mail, Feed Reader, and Calendar.

Again, this update is absolutely huge, also it once again shows Vivaldi is really a browser that simply just get better and better. And if Google Chrome and Microsoft Edge aren't necessarily your favorite glasses of tea, just try out Vivaldi and you'll be impressed.
