Vivaldi is een webbrowser die wordt ontwikkeld door voormalige werknemers van Opera. Hij richt zich voornamelijk op powerusers en gebruikers van Opera voor de overstap op Chromium. Vivaldi heeft uitgebreide mogelijkheden, zoals mousegestures, stapelen van tabbladen, uitgebreide keyboard shortcuts en het maken van aantekeningen op webpagina's. De browser is gratis en wordt voor Windows, Linux en OS X ontwikkeld. Na vier zogenaamde technical previews is anderhalve maand geleden de eerste bètaversie verschenen en nu is de tweede uitgekomen. De changelog is op deze pagina in te zien, dit is de aankondiging:
Vivaldi browser Beta 2 is here in time for holidays
Early this year, we released our first Technical preview. Since the release of TP1, we have gotten a lot of positive feedback, encouragement, and support. The idea of making a browser for our friends and ourselves seems to have resonated with lots of people around the world.
The trend for browsers today is simplification. We are more about individual design. Every user deserves a browser that adapts to their needs. We want you to feel that Vivaldi is truly made for you and the feedback we are getting indicates that we are on the right track!
After 4 technical previews, 2 Betas and almost 12 more months of hard work, we are getting closer to a Vivaldi 1.0. Even though we still have a lot of work ahead of us, it is a good feeling to see what we have accomplished this year as a team and as a community.
Thank you all for the support you provided us throughout the year. 2015 has been a great year for us and I hope it has been the same for all of you.
We will continue to work hard in 2016, and together with you, we will develop the very best web browser for you and for us and a browser which we can all love and be proud of.
