Floating Tabs
Floating Tabs – a sleek new look for your tab bar, offering a cleaner, more modern aesthetic while preserving precious screen space. This fresh layout improves focus and makes tab navigation smoother than ever.
If this new style doesn’t fit your taste, head to Settings – Tabs and toggle off ‘Enable floating tabs’.
Tab switcher list view
We’ve added a new setting for the tab switcher list, giving you the ability to tailor how your open tabs are displayed. Whether you prefer a list or grid view, this setting puts the choice in your hands — because we know every user has their own workflow. You can find the option in Settings – Tabs – Show tab Switcher as List.

Download options
We are currently offering Snapshots from the Play Store.
Sometimes there might be a delay after a snapshot blog post goes live, while updates are rolled out via the Play Store. If you don’t want to wait, or you do not use the Play Store on your device, we also offer .apk files for manual installation.
Alternative Downloads (3691.4)
Manually installed files can be updated from the Play Store at a later date, provided you installed the one that is most appropriate for your device. If you are not sure which one is right for you, simply install Droid Hardware Info [Alt], switch to the ‘System’ Tab and look at the ‘Instruction Sets’ line.
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.
