Snapshot stream
It has long been problematic to install Vivaldi stable and snapshot side-by-side on macOS. On Windows, our installer caters for self-contained, ‘standalone’ installations, but with no installer for Vivaldi on macOS, that was not a possibility.
In today’s snapshot we have brought the solution we use on Linux to our macOS user-base. The default installations for stable and snapshot no longer collide, due to different naming, and each stream uses a different settings directory.
Anyone on macOS who has been using a snapshot as their main install will now find it upgraded to the latest stable build. If you want to run snapshots alongside, simply download the .dmg below and install it. In the future your “Vivaldi.app” and “Vivaldi Snapshot.app” will update independently.
