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
- Swipe up/down address bar to enable tab switcher – You can now go to the tab switcher by swiping up/down on the Address Bar. This option can be found under V menu > Settings > Address Bar.
- Allow adding Custom Search Engines from web pages – Just like on desktop, you can now add additional search engines directly from the web page you want to search on. Simply long-press on the search field and select “Add as Search Engine”.

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.
