Let’s drill down into the new features, each designed to give you more control over your mobile browsing experience.
Here’s what’s new:
New Settings & Customization Options
Ever accidentally closed a tab? Now you can choose whether to display the Undo message when closing tabs, putting full control in your hands. We’re also introducing a combined dialog for Site Preferences and Tracker Blocker settings, making it faster and easier to see and adjust privacy options and permissions in one place.
Instant Sync Across Devices
Being able to synchronize your browsing data across your devices is not something new to Vivaldi. However, Vivaldi Sync is now picking up pace, quite literally. With instant sync, Vivaldi keeps your browsing experience seamless across all your devices in real time. Start a session on your desktop and pick up right where you left off on your Android device, with no delays or manual syncing needed. This feature ensures that whether you’re using Vivaldi on your computer, tablet, phone, or even your car, your browsing flow is uninterrupted, letting you move between devices as easily as just picking up that other device.
Enhanced Start Page with Top Sites
Your Start Page is your command center, so we’ve enhanced it with a new Top Sites section. This feature organizes your frequently visited pages for instant access, keeping everything important to you in one easy-to-navigate place. To enable Top Sites, go to Settings-Start Page – Show Top Sites, and it will appear as a first item in the Groups on the Start Page.
All-New Tab Stack Pane
With 7.0 we are introducing a new way for you to view your Tab Stacks. When you group tabs together you will see the Tab Stacks as a separate item in the Tab Switcher. You can easily switch between the stacks with this organized view, perfect for users who manage multiple tasks or projects at once.
Bookmark Autocomplete in the Address Field
Finding sites in your bookmarks just got easier. Matches in the address bar now supports autocomplete based on your bookmark titles, meaning fewer keystrokes to find what you need. With intuitive suggestions as you type, Vivaldi makes accessing saved pages faster and more seamless. In the Address Field, you also get faster access to certain websites as Vivaldi will suggest them directly, through Direct Match. When there’s a match for what you’ve typed, Direct Match saves you the extra step of searching through your search engine, helping you get where you need to go with fewer clicks.
Ready to experience Vivaldi 7.0 on Android? Of course you are!
PS! If you haven’t checked out Vivaldi for desktop yet, you’re in for even more shiny newness! Vivaldi 7.0 for desktop brings a fully redesigned user interface with floating tabs, sleek new icons, and the powerful new Dashboard: a customizable control center for managing everything from Mail to Feeds. With the latest updates for both desktop and Android, Vivaldi is now even better at giving you a seamless, personalized browsing experience across all your devices.
