Snapshot 1.0.321.3 – Tab closing improvements and extension fixes

Our first Snapshot arrives after the release of Vivaldi Beta, with more than 50 bug fixes and improvements to tab behaviour.

This is our first snapshot since the beta and we have fixed almost 50 bugs and made further improvements with tab behaviour. Two key fixes that we know some of you were waiting for are: backspace once again navigates in History and several more popular extensions are now working correctly.

Tab closing

We have tweaked the tab closing behaviour, so that tabs do not immediately resize. This allows you to quick fire close tabs by clicking rapidly on the close button. Be aware that it is still work in progress, with a bit more work needed to iron out a couple of issues—timing for resize and preventing the cropping of page titles. If you discover more issues, let us know in the comments below.
