Autocomplete domains first – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2968.2

Autocomplete the domain and then any sub path

In this snapshot we are trialing a change. Instead of autocompleting to full URLs in one go, we now autocomplete on domains first. Either press Enter to go to the selected domain or use the right arrow key to move to the next level of completion. After this subsequent characters will still match on the most popular paths below this domain.

As an example, if you regularly visit reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/ then you could autocomplete as so:
Type “reddit”, press right arrow, and you’ve typed “reddit.com/” (with a trailing slash). Then type “r” to autocomplete to “reddit.com/r/vivaldibrowser/”.

This changed behaviour gives slightly more priority to quickly accessing the homepage of the domains you visit. However you can still easily view any favored subdirectories. Let us know how you find the change in the comments below.
