Vivaldi Android Adds Full Chrome Web Store Support, Bringing 5 Mobile-Friendly Extensions

Summary
Vivaldi is rolling out an Android update that lets users install extensions from the full Chrome Web Store directly in the browser.
The Chromium-based browser surfaces extensions through its toolbar or menu, then links to the Chrome Web Store for installation and later management, including pinning, disabling and uninstalling.
Five early examples highlighted for mobile use are Consent-o-Matic for cookie prompts, the Wayback Machine for dead pages, DoubleClicker for opening links in background tabs, Auto Scroll, and password-manager extensions.
The move gives Android users desktop-style browser customization on mobile, extending Vivaldi’s pitch as a more feature-rich alternative to standard Chrome.
