Vivaldi 8.1 is almost here – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 4087.2/5

Today’s snapshot brings us very close to 8.1. Indeed it is likely that the snaphot after this will be labelled as a release candidate.

Stable stream versions for extra testing

While we are not yet labelling this build as an 8.1 release candidate, we are very close now. As such, we also provide pre-release links to equivalent builds for the stable channel. These are for those of you who wish to upgrade early, having first tested in snapshot configuration. We also recommend that you backup your settings before upgrading.
