Vivaldi mobile browser due in 2019 -- but no ad blocking... on the upside there will likely also be a non-web based e-mail module too

Jon Von Tetzchner doesn't need to crush Google Chrome. If he can get a few million people to use his Vivaldi browser, that should suffice. The chief executive of browser maker Vivaldi Technologies -- and previously leader and co-founder of Opera, too -- leads an effort to build a browser with an ultimately configurable interface so people can set it up just how they like it.

How configurable? In settings, you'll have to scroll to see all the options for controlling tabs, and that's just one of 17 pages for customization.

There's more to come, including an Android version of Vivaldi and a standalone email module that taps into services like Gmail. Both of those should arrive by the end of the year, Von Tetzchner said. He shared his thoughts on Vivaldi's products, privacy stance, and views about Google Chrome in an interview with CNET's Stephen Shankland.

He also has some interesting info about Google's possible attitude around the Chromium browser project - see www.cnet.com/news/vivaldi-mobi…
