What you need to know
Over the past few years, browsers have evolved from being an avenue to access the internet. Users are now more concerned about privacy, security, and more. These are among the key features Vivaldi is known for, and as it happens, the browser is getting a major update, bumping it toversion 6.9.
The new update ships with many new features and capabilities, including tab renaming, drag-and-drop file handling, and a clearer view of synced tabs. Additionally, the update ships with fixes that enhance and improve Vivaldi Mail’s user experience.
At one point, we’ve all found ourselves using multiple tabs simultaneously while browsing the internet. The ability to rename tabs will make it easier for users to make sense of all the tabs opened in Vivaldi, enhancing efficiency and effectiveness. The capability isn’t a new phenomenon; for instance, theTab Modifierin the Chrome Web Store ships with the feature.
Next up, Vivaldi will allow users to drag and drop their downloads directly from the Downloads Panel to their desired location. Perhaps more interestingly, users can leverage the feature to move multiple files simultaneously, making downloaded file management easier.
The update ships with a new structured overview of all your open tabs directly in the Windows Panel. This is especially handy for users who use the browser across multiple devices. You can view which tabs are open across your devices directly from the Windows Panel. What’s more, it’s easier to narrow down open tabs to a specific device. According to Vivaldi:
“The new structure separates the devices, Workspaces and Tab Stacks. This makes it easier than ever to pick up where you left off when you’re moving from your desktop to your laptop.”
Vivaldi Mail is also getting several fixes and improvements to enhance stability and performance.
