Who each one suits
Rambox
- Freelancers handling several clients' accounts and tools
- Support, operations and marketing staff who live in many web apps
- Teams that want preconfigured app setups for new employees
Vivaldi
- Power users who keep dozens of tabs open
- People who want mail, calendar and feeds inside the browser
- Those who like to customize shortcuts, themes and layout
- Users who want a browser without a built-in AI assistant
Worth knowing
Rambox
- Rambox presents itself as a workspace for web apps rather than a general-purpose browser.
- Workspaces, multi-login, extensions and the spell checker are limited to Pro; Basic allows 2 instances per app and 2 custom web apps.
- Basic runs on 1 active session at a time, and Pro on up to 3 computers simultaneously.
- Rambox for Teams starts at 5 users. No mobile app is listed; downloads cover Windows, macOS and Linux.
Vivaldi
- Proton VPN for Vivaldi works only in the desktop browser, and faster speeds, more servers and extra devices need a paid Proton VPN plan.
- New installs come with partner bookmarks and search engines that earn Vivaldi revenue. They can be replaced.
- Vivaldi deliberately leaves out an AI assistant, so there is no built-in chatbot or page summarizer.
- The current Mac download requires macOS 13 or later.
Key features
Rambox
- Workspaces
- Apps are grouped into workspaces by client, project or role, with one-click switching between them. Workspaces are part of the Pro plan.
- Multiple accounts per app
- Several sessions of the same app, such as Gmail, WhatsApp or Instagram, stay logged in at the same time, each under its own profile.
- Preloaded and custom apps
- More than 700 apps are preloaded and added in seconds, and any other web-based tool can be brought in as a custom app.
- Focus mode and notification control
- Focus mode pauses notifications for deep work, and alerts and badges can be set per app or per workspace.
- Tiles and quick search
- The screen can be divided into tiles to work across several apps at once, and a quick search shortcut finds and switches apps.
- Advanced app controls
- Pro adds browser extensions, a proxy per app, JavaScript and CSS injection, a custom user agent and a mobile view. The app can be locked with a master password or security key.
Vivaldi
- Mail, Calendar and Feed Reader
- A built-in email client handles several accounts, mailing lists and feeds in one inbox, next to a private calendar and a feed reader that does not rank items by algorithm.
- Tab Stacks, tiling and Workspaces
- Tabs group into two-level Tab Stacks, open side by side in a split-screen view, and sort into Workspaces for switching between categories of tabs.
- Ad and tracker blocker
- A blocker for ads and trackers is built into the desktop and mobile browsers, so no extension is needed to remove them.
- End-to-end encrypted Sync
- Browsing history, passwords, bookmarks, tabs and notes sync between desktop and mobile devices, protected by end-to-end encryption.
- Proton VPN for Vivaldi
- An opt-in VPN from Proton is built into the desktop browser. It is free with no ads or data limits after signing in with a Vivaldi account.
- Customization and Command Chains
- Shortcuts, themes and features can be personalized, mouse gestures trigger actions, and Command Chains run a custom sequence of commands from one keystroke or gesture.
