The Vivaldi browser has been updated to version 6.9 and brings a number of improvements. Let’s take a look at the new features in the latest version.
Rename tab in Vivaldi
Version 6.9 adds an option that allows you to rename your tabs to whatever you want. To do this, simply right-click on a tab, select “Rename” from the context menu, and give the tab a name. It can be useful to label tabs with an easily identifiable name instead of displaying their full title, which is often hidden by the tab bar.
Rename also supports tab stacks (tab groups), so you can now organize your tab collections more efficiently. You can split your groups by topics like work, sports, news, social, gaming, etc. Of course, it can be better to create workspaces to separate work and personal life, but tab groups can be helpful in all scenarios. And the rename feature works with both tab bar styles, i.e. the regular view and the vertical sidebar.
Drag and drop downloaded files
You can now manage your downloaded files directly from the Vivaldi interface. This can be handy if you want to move a downloaded file to another directory. All you have to do is drag it from the download area and drop it into the folder you want it to go to. This can be your desktop, a folder, an email, or even a document (e.g. images). Drag-and-drop supports multiple files in case you want to move several files at once.
Synchronized tabs in the Windows panel
The Windows Panel in the browser now highlights tabs open on your connected devices. To use this, you’ll need a Vivaldi account, sign in, and enable syncing on both devices. When you access the Windows Panel on your PC, Vivaldi lists the tabs open on your other device, such as your phone or laptop, in a separate category called “Synchronized Tabs.” Each device has its own nested tree structure. Click on a tab to access it directly on your computer. You can right-click on a synced tab to copy the link or bookmark it, but you can’t close a tab from the PC.
The company’s announcement states that there are some improvements to Vivaldi Mail and Calendar. The article lists the bugs fixed. The update includes over 40 fixes that improve the stability and performance of the tools. The tab management improvements are subtle, but welcome changes nonetheless.
Vivaldi for Windows on ARM
Vivaldi is now available for Windows on ARM and also supports Copilot+ PCs with Qualcomm Snapdragon X Elite and Snapdragon X Plus processors. The ARM version of the browser has all the bells and whistles of the desktop version and is also optimized to run efficiently on ARM-based devices like Surface and other portable devices.
