Create a Note in Vivaldi using drag and drop

After releasing Vivaldi 1.7 stable last week, we’re back to bug-fixing and adding new features to the Vivaldi browser. Highlights of today’s snapshot are:

  • As requested by quite a few of you, you can now select the Vivaldi Start Page as your default homepage in your Startup settings.
  • Sort your browsing history easily within the History Panel.
  • In the context menu, we added the “Open Link” option to let you simply open a link in the current tab.

  • Create a new Note by simply dragging and dropping text from anywhere in your computer to your notes in the Vivaldi browser or easily paste your copied texts anywhere in the Notes menu.

  • Last but not least, we added further options to the new Tab Muting feature, which now allows you to:
    • Let all tabs play sound (like we do today)
    • Only let the active tab play sound
    • Let a background tab keep playing sound, as long as the active does not
