Web page accent color
Adaptive color based on web pages was the only option by now. This snapshot introduces a new setting to change web page accent color where users will find a set of themes to choose from or make their own custom color. To find that option go to Settings → Theme → Accent color and select or make a color you are happy with.
Improved performance
We have been working on improving scrolling speed and smoothness and tab bar loading, especially for those of you who have a lot of opened tabs.
Take a look at the changelog for a full overview of the changes and let us know what you think.
Differences to Final
The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our users a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main Vivaldi Android package.
When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (below). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or directly in the Play Store. When commenting in the Play Store, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.
