Address bar feedback

Users of long-term snapshots may have noticed frequent references to the Address bar in the Changelog. The Address bar is a crucial and tricky feature, especially for Vivaldi, as we’ve had separate desktop and mobile versions. We’re working towards a unified implementation for better performance, though this may cause new issues or regressions.

If you encounter issues, we understand the urge to disable it, but remember snapshots are for gathering feedback to improve the stable version. Please provide detailed feedback, as vague reports like “It doesn’t work” won’t help us fix it. Keep testing future snapshots and sharing your thoughts, so we can address problems before assuming everything works well.

Known Issues

  • [Address bar] Switch to tab fails in some cases, such as when using the mouse
