List layout for visual tab cycler
If you use tab cycling a lot, you’ll like this new option. This option lets you view a list of titles instead of the big thumbnails in the center. It’s a great way to see a lot more entries at once. It’s less jumpy too. To set this alternate view go to Settings → Tabs → Show Tab Cycler → Display Tab Cycler as List.
Show Qwant search engine in all regions
We’ve now added Qwant, another privacy-focused alternative, as a search option in Vivaldi. Europe’s leading search engine will protect you from surveillance, respect your privacy, and promote neutrality online.
Vivaldi is all about choices and we’re proud to offer Qwant alongside DuckDuckGo and StartPage to our privacy-conscious users.
Focus-based panel auto collapse
Are you a regular panel user but only open Web Panels quickly to check something and close them right after? If that describes you, you’ll find this new option super useful. Once the focus is back on the main open website, the panel will auto-close. To use this option go to “Tools → Settings → Panel → Panel Options → Floating Panel → Auto-close Inactive panel”.
Tile new tabs in a tab stack
With this Snapshot, Tab Tiling – one of our unique features – gets yet another upgrade. When in a tiled tab stack, and a new tab is added, such as by CTRL-clicking a link, the new tab will be added as a tile.
