Vivaldi browser improves speed, gets a Tasks Panel to organize schedules.

Read this article in Deutsch, Español, Français, 日本語, Русский.

Organize your days better and work or play faster. This is the new version of Vivaldi.

Vivaldi 5.5 comes with a handful of improvements across the board, including a new Tasks Panel in the sidebar of the browser, which will help you to keep track of your tasks and schedules more efficiently.

We have been working on improving the overall speed of the browser. So, you’ll find a significant speed boost, especially when working with the Address Field. The new version also adds support to the Snap layouts available in Windows 11.

Our recent additions, the built-in Vivaldi Mail and Vivaldi Calendar are being fine-tuned at every step. As of this release, you can set up accounts much more easily and faster than before. We’ve also tackled the way we handle fake emails and scams, making warnings more visible.

Vivaldi 5.5 is ready for download on Windows, Linux, and macOS.

Get the job done with the Tasks Panel. Easy and efficient.

You don’t need super sharp skills to keep your schedule running smoothly — Vivaldi’s new Tasks Panel can help!

*Keep track of your tasks with the new Tasks Panel in Vivaldi*

In this version, you’ll find the handy, new “Tasks” panel in the sidebar. This lets you create and track your To-Do list without leaving the browser. How you arrange it is up to you. Add as many or as few details as you like, with the minimum being a simple title. You can also add the following:

Due date
Set repetitions
Location
Description (including any relevant URL)
Reminders

As you finish each task, you can just tick them off as complete, and the task will disappear from the default view. Although, you have the option to display your completed tasks, as well.

If you are new to Vivaldi and want to activate the Tasks Panel by default, choose the “Fully Loaded” option during the browser onboarding. Already using Vivaldi and want to activate the Tasks Panel? Simply enable Mail, Calendar, and Feed Reader in the Vivaldi Settings.

View your Tasks in the built-in Vivaldi Calendar

The new Tasks Panel allows you to view your tasks directly in your calendar. Tasks with due dates will appear in the main calendar view in the appropriate location. For open-ended tasks, without a set deadline, you can find them in the Agenda view.

Vivaldi Calendar offers different layouts and views with unique functionality. More about it here.

Discover enhanced speed with the Address Field improvements

The speed of your browser matters. And we have been working on a lot of under-the-hood changes. As part of this ongoing work, parts of the Address Field logic have been rewritten to improve speed.

If you are a fast typer and have encountered issues previously, this version is worth checking out. You may like it a lot better!

Vivaldi 5.5 with Snap support on Windows 11

Using Windows 11? Now you can use its Snap functionality.

*Vivaldi now supports Snap functionality in Windows 11*

With the added support of Snap, you can automatically resize one or more windows to fill the screen upon dragging. You can choose from six different types of layouts to adjust up to 4 windows on your screen at a time. These layouts let you arrange apps on your screen in different ways. You can also choose which slot the current app should take in a layout.

Vivaldi Mail, Calendar, Feed Reader – Version 1.2

Vivaldi Mail, Calendar, and Feed Reader are being continually improved. With more and more of your feedback coming in, it is much easier for us to further improve Vivaldi Mail’s functionality so that you can handle your emails better than ever.

Onboarding improvements for Mail and Calendar

We aim to make browsing fun, flexible and easy, even while setting up accounts for Mail and Calendar. That is why we have improved the workflow for setting up accounts.

*Set up email accounts easily and much faster*

Before, some popular services (such as Fastmail) may have required detailed information to set up Mail and Calendar (CalDAV) accounts. Now in more cases, server details are automatically configured for you.

You just have to enter your login credentials, and Vivaldi Mail will do the rest. So if you found configuring an account overwhelming before, this is the time to try again and get all the benefits of fast mail clients right in your desktop browser.

Tip: Add multiple accounts to enjoy easy access to all your mail in a single inbox.
You can choose to use Vivaldi Mail with your existing mail and calendar services, set up an account on vivaldi.net, or even add a trusted third-party service. And you can use all these options individually or even together.

Mail forgery improvements

While fake emails and scams are an ongoing problem, we have been making changes to make it harder for scammers to pull off some types of fake messages.

This is not a silver bullet and our work in this area will continue, but in certain cases where misleading emails appeared to be valid in the past, you will now get more visible warnings.

Download the new Vivaldi 5.5, right away

We love speed as much as you do, and we love developing and fine-tuning features and functionality for you. So, along with dreaming up new ideas, we’ll continue our under-the-hood work to make Vivaldi better for you.

Let us know what you think about our new version. As always, we look forward to your feedback. For more details, head over to the changelogs.
