Vivaldi User-Agent and Client-Hints User-Agent (CH-UA)

The User-Agent and Client-Hints User-Agent Brands List are two methods websites can use to identify the visiting user’s web browser. This is sometimes used to adapt a website to the visitor’s web browser, but is sometimes abused to block access to websites unless visited using an approved web browser.

Vivaldi does not use a browser-identifiable User-Agent or Client-Hints (on applicable platforms) by default. However, Vivaldi uses a browser-identifiable User-Agent when users visits about half-a-dozen Partner Sites1.

Users can opt-in to adding the Vivaldi brand to their Client-Hints brand list on the desktop platform (Linux, Windows, macOS). This option is available in Settings > Network > User-Agent Brand Masking.

Vivaldi’s User-Agent and Client-Hints User-Agent availability vary by platform:

Vivaldi encourages web developers to rely on Feature Detection rather than adopting user experience based on User-Agents. This design approach is more backwards and forwards compatible than making decisions based on User-Agents.
