Vivaldi 7.8

Vivaldi logo (75 pix) Versie 7.8 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.

Vivaldi 7.8: No AI Slop. Just Powerful Features.
With this release we’re raising the bar for Tab Tiling, with drag-and-drop tiling and opening links directly into tiled tabs. Alongside stability improvements and a set of carefully chosen refinements, this release is set to make your daily browsing smoother, more powerful, and more enjoyable. Vivaldi is built for people who love exploring the web, and who demand more from their browser.

With Vivaldi 7.8, we raise the bar, yet again. This release puts Tab Tiling front and center, or on the left. Or the right. Or above. Or below. Tab Tiling now has faster interactions, smarter workflows, and new ways to work with multiple pages at once, without breaking your flow. It’s a powerful start to the year, focused on real productivity and real control.
Tab Tiling, Built for Real Work
Tab Tiling is one of those features that can fundamentally change how a browser feels, once tiling becomes part of your workflow. Instead of constantly switching back and forth between tabs, you work with them together. Like ebony and ivory, in perfect harmony, but not just side-by-side; they can also be above and below, or in a grid. Tab Tiling lets you compare, reference, monitor, and think in parallel. With Vivaldi 7.8, we’ve focused on making Tab Tiling feel less like a feature you activate and more like a natural extension of how you browse.
Drag to Tile
Creating tiled layouts is now as simple as dragging a tab (or multiple) from the Tab Bar into the main content window of your currently active tab. By hovering the dragged tabs over different areas you can choose how to tile. Just drop it where it makes sense, and Vivaldi does the rest. Once your layout is in place, you’re not locked into it. You can rearrange tiles on the fly, resize them, or drag in additional tabs at any time. Your workspace stays flexible, adapting instantly as your task evolves.

And because tiled tabs behave like regular tabs, you can combine tiling with other Vivaldi features. For example, set periodic reloading on selected tiles to keep live content up to date, while the rest of your layout stays exactly as it is. It’s perfect for monitoring changing information without constant manual refreshes. This makes tiling something you can use exactly when you need it. You might start with a single page, then quickly pull in a second tab to compare prices, review documentation, or keep a reference visible while you work. The layout adapts instantly, without interrupting your flow.

It’s especially useful when:

Writing or researching and keeping sources visible alongside your main document.

Comparing offers, designs, product specs, or data across multiple pages.

Following live updates while continuing to work in another tab.

The key difference is speed. A moment after you think “I want to see these side by side”, you already are.
Open Link as Tiled Tab
Once you start working with tiled layouts, it quickly becomes a browser super power, and you want a quick way of tiling new tabs. That’s where “Open as Tiled Tab” comes in. Instead of opening a link full screen and rearranging your layout afterward, you can open it directly into a tiled view. Your main tab stays put, your context stays visible, and the new content appears beside it. Combining the power of other Vivaldi features, you can trigger this instantly with a Mouse Gesture, making it effortless to open in a Tiled Tab when needed.
More Than Multitasking
Together, these improvements turn Tab Tiling into something you can use casually, frequently, and creatively. You can start small with two tabs, then grow into more complex layouts as your task demands it. You can rearrange on the fly. You can build a workspace that matches how you think. This is what best-in-class features look like in a browser: not complicated, just deeply effective once you start using it.
Tabs That Work the Way You Expect
Managing many tabs should feel empowering, not fragile. Vivaldi 7.8 strengthens tab handling in ways that support complex, long-running sessions.
Pinned Tabs, Now Smarter
Pinned tabs now support domain restriction. This keeps pinned tabs predictable. A pinned mail tab stays mail. A pinned project tool stays exactly where you expect it. And yes, this finally makes pinned tabs behave the way they always should have. As Tony, our Chief Tab Tester asked, “Why didn’t they always do this?”. The answer is: we didn’t think of it before. We’ll own that one. Luckily, our community did think of it, and we listen to our users.
Mail, Now Across Your Workspaces and Windows
Speaking of pinned tabs, if you’re using Vivaldi Mail, our built-in mail client, there’s an extra bonus. Pin your mail tab, and it stays pinned across all Workspaces. Your inbox is always there when you need it. And not only that! Mail now works across all your Vivaldi windows. Previously, your mail view lived in a single window, which meant switching windows if you wanted to check or write mail while working elsewhere. With Vivaldi 7.8, that limitation is gone.

Open a new Window, switch Workspaces, or reorganize your setup. Your mail is still there. Because mail is built directly into Vivaldi, it behaves like part of the browser, not a separate app bolted on the side. Making it available across all windows turns it into what it should be: a core tool that’s always within reach, exactly when you need it. Combined with smarter pinned tabs and Workspace support, mail now fits naturally into even the most complex setups.
A Fresh Start Page, Every Day
Are you the kind of person who needs a new perspective every day? The kind of person who just needs a bit of extra spice to your day? Do we have something fantastic for you! The Daily Image option for your Start Page. When enabled, your background updates automatically each day with high-quality photography from Unsplash. It’s a small touch that adds variety without distraction. As always, it’s optional, like any other Vivaldi feature you decide whether to enable it or not. It’s your browser.
Polished Where It Matters
Beyond the headline features, this update comes with improvements in several areas that shape the overall experience.

Important stability improvements: Significant effort has gone into improving stability. With a new and improved crash logging system we have been able to fix more crashes than ever. QA estimates “two full buckets of crash fixes” and are happy to report all known crashes in our own code are fixed. That said there is still a slim chance you encounter a random crash, “which could literally be caused by your neighbor’s microwave and cosmic radiation screwing up your PC’s RAM. What can be fixed, is fixed” – Vivaldi QA team.

Caret browsing as a dedicated setting, giving you clear control over keyboard-based navigation and text selection. It’s a great accessibility feature that lets you navigate websites using the keyboard as if they were text documents.

A new installer for Windows that makes setup smoother and more reliable.

A Browser That Puts You First
Every Vivaldi release, large or small, builds on the same idea. We don’t answer to investors pushing features that benefit them instead of you. We don’t track your behavior or treat your data as a business model. We focus on building a browser that adapts to how you work, respects your choices, and gives you real control over your experience. We believe browsing should push you to explore, chase ideas, and make your own decisions. It should light up your brain. When an artificial assistant sits between you and the web, it filters what you see and decides what you don’t see, it’s outsourcing your judgment.

So we have taken a stand. We choose humans over hype, and we will not turn the joy of exploring into inactive spectatorship. That philosophy runs through Vivaldi 7.8. From powerful Tab Tiling to thoughtful refinements across the browser, every change serves one goal: making the web work better for you.
