We have now begun publishing our Snapshot stream for the Vivaldi iOS browser.
To make it easier and lower the risk for you to test our cutting edge builds, Vivaldi Snapshot is a separate application that will be installed alongside the Final and have its own set of preferences and settings.
New
- Don’t open links in external apps – If you have apps like YouTube or Google Maps installed on your phone, links from those services often try to open in their respective apps. With this new setting enabled, such links will instead open in a new browser tab.
Changelog
- [New][Settings] Add ‘Don’t open links in external apps’ option (VIB-935)
- [Crash] Crash when unpinning tab (VIB-1241)
- [Share] ‘Send to your device’ option is missing from the share options in the Tab bar (VIB-1233)
- [Start Page] Open last visited group as default (VIB-1213)
- [UI] Update onboarding and tab settings to reflect new tab bar (VIB-1230)
Differences to Beta/Final
The purpose of these snapshots is to allow our fans a chance to preview upcoming changes, and to help us ensure the quality of our latest fixes and improvements, before we add them to Final. If you would prefer something that was already widely tested, stick with the main Vivaldi iOS package.
When testing a Snapshot, it is a good idea to review the changelog (above). Try out the changes and let us know your thoughts in the comments section or report it directly to our bug tracking system. When commenting or reporting a bug, remember that it is helpful to mention the version you were testing with.
Download options
