Here are some of the changes that have been made:
- We’ve added a new setting that allows you to disable search engine nicknames. Tailor your browsing experience by choosing the level of detail you want in your search engine suggestions. Go to Settings – Search Engine Settings and choose if you want to enable or disable the search engine shortcut option. It’s enabled by default. (VAB-7758)

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 (above). 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.
