Starting in developer snapshot 2022.6, Vivaldi browser allows you to customize the private window theme. It now ships a special "private" theme, and also you to pick or create a custom one, and have unique themes for normal and private windows. There are also changes to the address bar and ad blocker.
Vivaldi was started with the promise of giving you a highly customizable, full-featured, innovative browser. It looks like its developers kept their promise - there is no other browser on the market which offers the same amount of options and features. While Vivaldi is built on Chrome's engine, power users are the target user base, like the classic Opera 12 browser. Vivaldi was created by former Opera co-founder and developed keeping in mind Opera's usability and power. There is also a mobile version of the browser, also powerful and feature rich.
