History panel – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.7.735.29

Work continues as we progress to a 1.7 final in the (very) near future but before that happens we wanted to give you a final treat.

History Panel in Vivaldi Browser

Today’s snapshot includes a history panel. We also include an extra visual clue when a website requests password information over a non encrypted connection.

History panel

The new history panel provides convenient access to your browsing history, shown alongside the pages you are currently viewing. Thus it provides a new and much quicker way to locate a URL you visited before. The panel also includes search and date range options, to make it even easier to find that elusive URL.

Passwords over HTTP

Sending a password over a HTTP connection is a bad idea, so any website that attempts to request this will now have the text “not secure” added to its site badge.

Vivaldi Browser: HTTP password warning functionality

In addition to feedback on this new panel our focus is still on any regressions since the 1.6 final, so let us know what you find.
