Versie 7.6 van de webbrowser Vivaldi is uitgekomen. Vivaldi is een webbrowser die wordt ontwikkeld door voormalige werknemers van Opera. Hij richt zich voornamelijk op powerusers en gebruikers van Opera vóór de overstap op Chromium, hoewel ook deze browser daarop is gebaseerd. Vivaldi heeft uitgebreide mogelijkheden, zoals mousegestures, stapelen van tabbladen, uitgebreide keyboardshortcuts en het maken van aantekeningen op webpagina's. De browser is gratis en wordt voor Windows, Linux, macOS en Android ontwikkeld, en tegenwoordig ook voor iOS. Hieronder is te vinden wat er in deze uitgave allemaal veranderd is.
Make the Tab Bar yoursYour browser belongs to you. Hence, it must be able to reflect you. Vivaldi is the most customizable browser available, and with our latest update, 7.6, we’re turning customization all the way up to 11. The Tab Bar is where your browsing comes to life, so it’s integral that you’re in full control of it. We’ve made the Tab Bar fully customizable; you pick the tools you want, you decide where to place them. The result is a tab bar that looks and works exactly the way you need it to, making common actions feel obvious. That small sense of comfort adds up over hundreds of tab switches a day.
When we say fully customizable, we mean FULLY. This opens up completely new ways of personalizing Vivaldi. Whether you are a spartan minimalist or a maximalist who likes to have all your favorite tools displayed, the canvas is for you to paint on. The customizable Tab Bar is part of a bigger idea. Vivaldi lets you tune the entire interface so the browser adapts to you.
- Edit the Address Bar and Status Bar to keep only the buttons you actually use
- Place the Side Bar on the left or right, with quick access to your tools, and turn favourite sites into one-click Web Panels
- Build Themes with your colours, schedule light and dark for day and night
- Assign Keyboard Shortcuts and Mouse Gestures to almost any action
- Combine steps with Command Chains so one keypress runs your routine
It is customization for the sake of comfort that turns into speed, because when everything is where YOU want it to be, you move faster. Try it: Right click any button in the Tab Bar and select “customize toolbar”, this opens the editor and you are ready to personalize.
The Tab Button, one button to rule them allThis isn’t a “new tab” button. It’s The Tab Button. A single, unified place to find, switch, and recover tabs without hunting through different menus. Click it and you get a focused panel with a search field at the top. Start typing and you’ll filter across the things you care about: your open tabs, synced tabs, and your recently closed ones, all in one view. Hit Enter to jump, or click to restore. The gain is flow: fewer detours, less hunting, more doing.
For many, tabs have a tendency to pile up as your browsing session enters its next hour. It happens. Often some of the tabs you open are duplicates of old ones you forgot to close, and you end up with the same page open twice (or five times). The Tab Button makes tab-housekeeping fun and duplicates easy to fix. You’ll find duplicates grouped together when clicking the tab button, close the extras with a click, or clear them all at once. Fewer clones mean a quieter tab bar. In other words, it’s not another button, it’s THE tab button, forged for you to rule all your tabs.
By default it lives at the end of the tab bar, right where you used to find “synced tabs” and “recently closed tabs” as separate buttons. So your muscle memory still works on day one. Prefer a different spot? Move it. Like everything in Vivaldi, the Tab Button is part of a UI you can arrange to fit how you browse.
Control and customization matterSpeed is not only about benchmarks. It is about how few decisions you need to make to keep moving. With Vivaldi 7.6, your setup becomes second nature. The power is there, and the real win is an even better personal fit. Your browser feels tuned to you, ready to help you discover.
Your browser should help you explore more of the web, not explore it for you. When you decide where things live, what is visible, and how actions fire, you keep control. Fewer surprises, and no biased agent between you and the web, frees you to discover new things and places. Personal fit turns into momentum, your attention stays on the page, and ideas stack faster. We exist for you to explore the web on your own terms. We refuse to reduce you to a passive spectator. Without exploration, the web becomes far less interesting. Our curiosity loses oxygen and the diversity of the web dies.
Cleaner context menusWe’ve cleaned up and reorganized more context menus, making it faster to get where you want. The fresh menus promote the core actions you want to use, so you spend less time scanning and more time doing.
Search keywords in the Address FieldThe Address Field has gotten a smart upgrade. You can now look up in specific groups, directly from the Address Field. Type @tabs to jump straight to an open tab by name, or @bookmarks and @history when you need to find something fast. It is one field for everything, with instant filtering that keeps your hands on the keyboard.
Built-in ad blocker upgrades with popup rule supportWe’re giving you more control over potential interruptions. Popup rules complement our existing popup blocker by automatically closing sneakily-opened tabs or windows that try to sell you something. The rules target known advertisements, while keeping legitimate site behavior intact.
Swipe gestures on WindowsWith 7.6 you can use trackpad or touch swipes to go back and forward, which pairs nicely with mouse gestures and keyboard shortcuts. Your hands pick the most comfortable move.
Snappier switching to hibernated tabsWe’ve made some under the hood tweaks to make your heavy sessions feel lighter. Waking a sleeping tab now takes less time, which means you can park background work without paying a penalty when you return.
