Vivaldi 7.4: Polished, Simplified, and All Yours

Highlights of Vivaldi 7.4:

Precision control over keyboard shortcuts

Vivaldi already offers unparalleled customization, and now you can take it even further. With Vivaldi 7.4, we have taken this one step further. Users can now fine-tune their keyboard shortcuts on a per-site basis. This ensures that your shortcuts work just the way you want, whether you want to prioritize Vivaldi specific shortcuts or page specific ones. Meaning, even if you had customized commands in Vivaldi, you can allow a site like Google Docs to override them. It’s about putting you in control, making sure your shortcuts work where and when you need them most.

More improvements and more control over the address bar

We’ve continued tuning the Address Bar, making it smarter, faster, and more consistent. Settings have been restructured for clarity, and a collection of bug fixes and optimizations keep things humming behind the scenes. From the settings menu you can decide what items are displayed in the dropdown menu. This is another great example of how Vivaldi can be personalized. But this is not all! For those who think more is not only more, but also better, you can now increase the number of items shown in the address bar dropdown to show as many as 42 results.

Clean, simple, faster startup

Managing multiple profiles? Starting Vivaldi just got faster with a simplified profile picker.

Lighter, brighter panels

Both the Windows and History Panels have undergone a visual refresh. Expect a cleaner, more intuitive experience, because even power tools should look good.

Stability and performance upgrades

We’ve done the digital equivalent of spring cleaning. This means smoother sessions, fewer hiccups, and faster performance to help you glide into summer with a lighter, happier browser.

A browser that works for you, not the other way around

Vivaldi remains a rare breed in tech. We’re an employee-owned company with no investors demanding growth at the expense of the users experience or their privacy. Your personal data isn’t a product and your browser should work for you, not the other way around.
