Luma vs Vivaldi
Vivaldi is the browser for people who want to change everything: panels, a mail client, a calendar, themes and hundreds of settings. Luma goes the other way: fewer, well-chosen tools, and privacy that is on from the first page without setting anything up.
What stays the same
- Chromium underneath, and extensions from the Chrome Web Store.
- Tabs where you want them: in a sidebar or on top.
- Split view, a command palette, reader view and workspaces.
What changes
- Trackers, ads, third-party cookies and cookie banners are blocked from the moment you install Luma, with nothing to choose.
- Sync goes to a folder or WebDAV server you choose, encrypted end to end, instead of the browser maker’s servers.
- A quieter window: fewer panels and buttons, with Settings opening on top of the page.
Moving over
On first launch Luma imports your bookmarks, history and open tabs from Vivaldi. Passwords can come over as a CSV file exported from Vivaldi.
