Snapshot 1.5.618.8 – Drag tabs between windows and performance improvements

In today’s snapshot we provide the ability to drag tabs between windows. Unlike other browsers you can also drag tab stacks and tab selections. And of course, the old method via the context menu still works for those who prefer it. We have also improved theming performance by roughly 400%. This also improves browser startup time! If you haven’t used themes before, now is a great time to get started.

Drag Tabs between windows

This long requested feature is now available for public testing. Being Vivaldi, we also wanted to improve on this feature, to make it even better than what you see in other browsers. This means we also let you drag tab selections and tab stacks between Windows!

We’re working hard to iron out the bugs, which is where you come in. Please post those reports below and indicate your operating system version so that we can perfect it for you!
