New Tab Cycler
When cycling through many tabs using the keyboard (Ctrl+Tab), it can be tricky to know which tab will appear next. Particularly so, when cycling in recently used order—Vivaldi’s default setting. A tab cycler solves that problem by displaying the list of tabs in the same order and giving your extra visual clues such as page title and a thumbnail.
Below is our initial implementation. To enable it, open “Settings (Preferences on Mac)” and navigate to “Tabs → Tab Cycling → Cycle Tabs Visually”.
We are currently improving this cycler further so that it is visually more pleasing and functional. In addition we need to do more work on thumbnails, since not always updated correctly. If you see issues with thumbnails not updating and have ideas about when it happens, let us know in the comments below.
Better cookie management
Previously the cookie management section in “Settings”—“Privacy → Cookie Control → Cookies”—only gave you a count of cookies by domain, with simple options to delete them all. We have now improved this to provide more fine grained control, allowing you to view and delete individual cookies. A small touch but very handy for those of you who are cautious about tracking!
Known issues
- Vivaldi is only shown in English
- Autoupdate to this version is disabled—we don’t want to update people to a language they are uncomfortable with
- Tabs opened in the background can’t be switched to via Ctrl+Tab
