Here are some of the changes that have been made:
- Direct Match Support in Address Bar (VB-107114): We’ve introduced direct match support in the address bar now for Android as well. See more details here.
The setting can be switched on and off in Setting – Appearance&Theme- Enable Direct Match. - Autocomplete on Bookmark Title in Address Bar (VB-110000): With the new autocomplete feature, Vivaldi will now match and suggest bookmarks based on their titles directly in the address bar. The option to enable or disable it is in Setting – Appearance&Theme- Enable Bookmarks Matching
- Tab Stack Pane (VAB-10172): Introducing the Tab Stack Pane! This new feature gives you an organized view of your stacked tabs, providing a quick and easy way to manage tab groups and enhance your workflow. It’s perfect for users who frequently manage multiple tabs at once.
The Stacked Tabs is located in Tab Switcher, in between the Private tabs and Synced Tabs
