In our previous snapshot we introduced the Start Page Dashboard experiment and now we have another experiment. This one lets you send tabs to other devices (so long as they are also recent snapshots). Like last time, to enable these type “vivaldi://experiments” into the address field, enable the experiments you wish to try and restart the browser.
