Vivaldi 1.5.658.44 released with improved tabs, smart-home lighting integration

Vivaldi

Vivaldi is a web browser built for – and with – the web. A browser that is fast, but also a browser that is rich in functionality, highly flexible and puts the user first. A browser that is made for you. Vivaldi is produced with love by a founding team of browser pioneers, including Jon von Tetzchner, who co-founded and led Opera Software.

What's new in Vivaldi 1.5.658.44:

Drag, Select, Stack, Repeat.

  • Vivaldi users already enjoy a huge amount of flexibility in how they wrangle their tabs. Hopefully you’re well versed with Stacking and Tiling. With today’s update, we’re taking tab management to another level.
  • You can now select multiple tabs, apply commands to them in bulk, and drag the selected tabs into stacks. You can even drag tabs between windows on your desktop. Check out the video below to see it in action.

Automatic Screenshots in Notes

  • If you haven't tried the notes function in Vivaldi, now is the time. Notes is a built-in tool that lets you capture your thoughts while you browse. The tool lives in your browser side panel and is the perfect way to grab quotes, screenshots and make note of links without leaving Vivaldi. And now, you can automatically attach a screenshot of the page that inspired the note. Very handy.

Enter Reader Mode

  • Along with performance improvements, accessibility of content according to your reading preferences has also been enhanced. We’ve taken the reader view settings up a notch and improved accessibility by adding a reader mode button to the address bar. Cut out the clutter and bring focus back to the words.

Lighten Up

  • Vivaldi now includes a first for web browsers. Go beyond the browser and into the smart home by integrating with Hue color lights from Philips.
  • After enabling Hue in Vivaldi Theme Settings, a tap on the Philip Hue Bridge confirms the connection. Selecting which lights Vivaldi should control, the browser will synchronize your physical surroundings with the color of the web. This opens the door to a thrilling direction.

Update Vivaldi in an Instant!

  • Delta updates for all Vivaldi Windows users. This means that the next time you click “update”, you will only download and install parts of Vivaldi that have changed. Less bandwidth. More efficient. Delta is the omega of updating.
