Vivaldi has introduced several functional updates to its Chromium-based browser. In late August, the company added support for Chrome Web Store extensions to its Android snapshot, allowing mobile users to install extensions by enabling the ‘Desktop site’ setting, though compatibility with mobile interfaces may vary.

By early September, the release of version 8.2 introduced a quick calculation feature within the address bar, enabling users to receive immediate results for mathematical expressions. This update also saw the introduction of an experimental 64-bit version for Windows, though users are advised to use the 32-bit variant if stability issues arise.

Following these developments, the official release of version 8.2 for mobile devices expanded functionality to both Android and iOS. For Android users, the update provides a dedicated icon in the address bar to access the Chrome Web Store for installing and managing extensions. While users can toggle extensions for specific websites, the update does not currently support syncing extensions between desktop and mobile versions, and compatibility remains an issue for some extensions. Additionally, the address bar-based calculator was rolled out to both Android and iOS platforms, allowing users to perform calculations with results appearing directly below the bar and an option to copy the output to the clipboard.
