See what’s new in Vivaldi
On 6.8, the new interface lets you see which tabs are inactive at a glance. You’ll find all inactive tabs in a folder above your open tabs when opening the Tab Switcher. Inactive tabs are hibernated, do not consume any resources from your device and you can decide whether or not you want to close them. You can select the interval for when a tab is moved to inactive from settings, the default is 21 days.
Open links without interrupting your current browsing session with the new “Open in Background” option available for your Bookmarks, Reading List, and History. Go ahead and queue up content to read later while keeping your focus intact on the task at hand.
Bookmarks are a great way to save and organize your favorite websites but finding them quickly is crucial. With this feature, you can easily find your bookmarks by the nicknames you have given them with just a few keystrokes. It’s a simple yet powerful way to smoothen your browsing experience and keep your favorite sites at your fingertips.
In this update, you get to easily customize your Start Page. You also can select how to display your Speed Dials, create new Speed Dial groups, or remove them altogether, directly from the Start Page. By selecting “Customize Start Page” you can also change your background image.
In this newest version of Vivaldi, we’ve also made improvements to the built-in Tracker and Ad Blocker. We made several underlying changes to how our ad blocker works to make it more effective. We are continuously working on improving our Tracker and Ad Blocker, as our end goal is to make it the only blocker you need.
