Vivaldi is een op een Chromium gebaseerde webbrowser. De gratis, uit Noorwegen afkomstige browser heeft een aantal handige functies en richt zich vooral op power-users. Zo kun je erg veel instellen aan de interface van Vivaldi, zo kun je zelf kiezen waar de adresbalk, tabbladen en andere balken in beeld zijn, kun je het pictogram kiezen, thema's en zelfs eigen CSS gebruiken om de browser te stylen naar wens.
Heb je minder zin om je browser helemaal naar wens aan te passen, dan nog is Vivaldi een krachtige en handige browser. Zo heeft de browser een ingebouwde adblocker en trackingblocker, kun je Chrome-extensies installeren, kun je notities maken, is er een ingebouwde VPN, ondersteunt de browser werkruimtes, kun je je instellingen, geschiedenis en bladwijzers synchroniseren tussen apparaten met end-to-end-encryptie en is er een leeslijst voor artikelen die je later wilt lezen.
Wat is er nieuw?
Versie 7.8 van de Vivaldi-webbrowser is verschenen. Nieuw in deze versie is de mogelijkheid om tabbladen naast elkaar te zetten, door ze te slepen. Je kunt een tabblad slepen en op verschillende plekken neerzetten, erboven, eronder of ernaast, in verschillende groottes. Ook nieuw is de mogelijkheid om op de pagina als je een nieuw tabblad opent de achtergrond automatisch dagelijks te wijzigen.
Je vindt de volledige changelog van Vivaldi 7.8, evenals instructies om te updaten, hieronder.
