Return of the big changelog – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3149.7

Just some quick thoughts on VB-99651. In an effort to remain fully transparent, we discussed our sources of income in an older blog post. In that post we mention that while part of that income includes various search engine deals, using Google search does not contribute anything financially to the cost of developing Vivaldi.

Given we know that you (our loyal users) want to contribute to Vivaldi, we now include a more obvious, little reminder of the direct connection between search deals and our income in the browser, along with other ways you might consider to help out. This includes listing other search providers whom we do partner with. With the improving quality of alternative search engines, and many of them also having noticeably better privacy records, this isn’t a bad thing to think about. Nonetheless if you do want to use Google, you can simply dismiss this message. Indeed, you are not required to do anything, we are still happy to serve you! 😉

Oh and yes we did just up the version number to 6.4… don’t read too much into that, we will explain later. 😆
