I mean, you can use custom search engines, but the only way to get them on android is to sync them over from a desktop install.

It's such a strange kludge, especially if you a) don't use desktop vivaldi or b) don't use sync. Maybe one day they'll add in the menu item or whatever. It's getting better but Android Vivaldi has been getting like one new feature a year it seems like.

It's strange that they haven't added this feature in 2024.

My girlfriend tried to use Vivaldi 7, it crashes when importing bookmarks from Chrome (on desktop) . Did it for me too, so I don't know...

Otherwise I like it's nice user interface. And I think it still had support for adblock v2.
