Vivaldi Browser on Android gets support for custom ad blocking lists and better one-handed usability

Android has no shortage of good browser options — there’s ChromeFirefoxKiwiBraveOpera and so many more that we couldn’t possibly list all of them. Most users need exactly one browser on their phone, which very likely already comes with two browsers pre-installed. Even then, having more options at hand is always a welcome move, and having more competition in the mix spurs everyone to continue innovating. Popular desktop browser Vivaldi made its way to Android last year, and over time, it has been updated with more features. The latest update to Vivaldi Browser on Android brings over support for custom ad-blocking lists and better one-handed usability.

After its release last year, Vivaldi has been updated with features like swipe to close tabs, start page customizations, DuckDuckGo’s Tracker Radar integration, and even dark mode for web content. Vivaldi v3.2 update now allows users to enable and manage several blocking lists in the Tracker and Ad Blocker, and even add their own custom lists of websites they want to block or unblock while browsing online.

The addition of blocking lists and custom lists gives users more choice in how they want their web data tracked and collected as well as the ads that are displayed. The blocking lists pre-installed within Vivaldi contains many widely used tracker URLs, and the browser stops requests to those URLs before they are sent. But users can easily enable and disable these with the settings presented. There are also country-specific listed sources, if you are looking for that. Importing and adding custom lists is also fairly simple. Further, users can also enable or disable blocking for specific websites according to their preference and manage the blocking levels per site from the Address field or the Settings.

The bottom bar on Vivaldi browser now offers more visual consistency. More options have been migrated from the top bar to the bottom bar, making it easier to use the browser one-handed. Users can now also view and switch between normal, private, synced, and close tabs from the bottom.

Get the Samsung Galaxy Note 20’s new apps on your rooted Galaxy S20

Samsung recently unveiled the long-anticipated Galaxy Note 20 series (our first impressions) alongside the Galaxy Tab S7 and the Galaxy Z Fold 2 in its second Galaxy Unpacked event of this year. All these devices run Samsung’s One UI 2.5 custom skin on top of Android 10 out of the box. Thanks to our own Max Weinbach, we know that Samsung is going to bring over One UI 2.5 to the Galaxy S20 series before delivering the stable One UI 3.0 update based on Android 11. If you have the desire to get an early glimpse of One UI 2.5 on your Galaxy S20 right now, then you’ll be happy to know that XDA Recognized Developer AlexisXDA has ported a bunch of stock apps from the Galaxy Note 20’s firmware that can be easily installed using a custom recovery environment.

Galaxy S20/S20+/S20 Ultra XDA Forums

Flashing a custom recovery like TWRP requires an unlockable bootloader, which means the ported apps can only be installed on the Exynos-powered international variants and the Chinese Snapdragon variants of the Galaxy S20 lineup, thus excluding the U.S and Canadian models. Interestingly, the recovery-flashable package itself is compiled in such a way that it is theoretically compatible with any Samsung device running One UI 2.0 or 2.1 and not just the Galaxy S20. According to the developer, the ported apps work on their Galaxy S9+ without any issue, but your mileage may vary.

Here is the complete list of ported stock apps included in the package:

  • Clock
  • Calendar
  • Messaging
  • My Files
  • Weather (new App style)
  • Smart Manager and Digital Wellbeing
  • Keyboard (new shortcuts enabled)
  • TouchWiz Home (with new little animations)
  • Dialer and Contacts
  • My Files
  • Gallery
  • Smart Capture
  • Always On Display
  • New Samsung Notes

The mod is presented as a set of two recovery flashable ZIP files. The first one is required to remove the existing version of the target apps, while the second one pushes the ported apps to the /system partition. It is worth noting that flashing this mod on your device will prevent you from taking incremental OTA updates until the stock firmware is restored.

The Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the first phone with Samsung’s new VRR OLED display

The Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is an incredible smartphone. While it certainly is expensive — no doubts about that — it does pack in a fair few new technologies that make it an exciting Android phone to hold in your hands, more so than the regular Galaxy Note 20. One of these new technologies is VRR, or Variable Refresh Rate, as the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra is the first smartphone to use Samsung Display’s new VRR OLED display.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra XDA Forums

Samsung Display is announcing that the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G features new display technology that allows for greater power-savings than was seen on previous commercially available flagships. This low power OLED makes use of adaptive frequency technology to reduce the display power consumption by up to 22% (though a baseline has not been specified). This adaptive frequency tech allows the display panel to utilize variable refresh rates that consume the “least possible amount of power” for each type of application. For mobile games, the display supports a 120Hz scan rate; for movie streaming, it goes down to 60Hz; emails go down to 30Hz, and viewing still images or browsing social media takes it down to 10Hz.

Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (Exynos) First Impressions

High refresh rate smartphones prior to the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra used certain fixed refresh rates, meaning that they would need to stick to 60Hz, 90Hz, 120Hz or 144Hz depending on the smartphone and the setting. Companies often adapted “variable” refresh modes, but these notch down the display to a comparatively conservative 60Hz only on a per-application basis. The display would consequently either by at 60Hz always, or at a high refresh rate sometimes and 60Hz in other cases. So even though OEMs referred to these mixed modes as “variable” refresh rates, these still offered a seemingly fixed refresh rate — the panel itself could not automatically calibrate the refresh rate as it would result in noticeable image flickering because of luminance differences at the lower refresh rates. Samsung Display claims that its new backplane technology eliminates the flickering for operating frequencies as low as 10Hz, and the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra seamlessly switches between discrete 120Hz, 90Hz, 60Hz, 30Hz and 10Hz refresh rates.

While Samsung Display would suggest that this is a variable refresh rate implementation, it’s final implementation on the Note 20 Ultra isn’t exactly a true variable refresh rate as we have seen in other displays such as gaming monitors and certain TVs. Those have truly variable refresh rates within a certain range, such as 40Hz to 120Hz, letting the refresh rate match the FPS output of the GPU. However, Android does not support true VRR just yet. So even though the display would be fully capable of it, the software isn’t, and Samsung would have to resort to making very heavy modifications to enable true VRR. For now, we can stay content with more options and the resultant power savings, but it does make us very optimistic of the future.

    All the choices at Amazon
    If you want the easiest check out possible, and the safety of ordering through your existing Amazon account, look no further. There's a range of color choices and storage options, all available for delivery by release day.

Best Galaxy Note 20 Deals: Where to buy the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra in India

Samsung has officially announced its next Galaxy Note series. Despite being successors to the Galaxy Note 10 series, the new devices have adopted a moniker befitting the most eventful year (so far) of the 21st century. As expected, the Samsung Galaxy Note 20 phones, especially the Galaxy Note 20 Ultra 5G (first impressions), are stocked with premium features. In India, Samsung justifies that by selling the Galaxy Note 20 for ₹77,999 (~$1,040) and the Note 20 Ultra for ₹1,04,999 (~$1,400).

Although these prices align with those in the U.S. (see the best Galaxy Note 20 deals for the US), the phones are definitely outside the comfortable spending zone for most Indian users. Thankfully, Samsung has some sweet deals on pre-orders of the smartphones, and that may grant some sort of comfort to those who eagerly wish to cherish the improved Note experience.
