Vivaldi is the initiative of Opera Software co-founder Jon von Tetzchner, who left the browser company five years ago and recruited some 35 staff, with HQ in Boston and developers in Norway and Iceland.

Vivaldi’s arrival has prompted Opera to raise its profile, with the latest desktop version adding a very effective power saving mode, and a built-in ad blocker.

Last month Opera agreed to sell half of the company to Chinese group Qihoo 360, a publicly traded internet security company, for $600m. Qihoo had wanted to buy the company outright for $1.2bn but couldn’t find the cash. The assets include the web browser. Most of Opera’s $615.9m revenue in 2015 was derived from mobile advertising.
