I've been looking for replacement for Comodo Dragon and seems like I have found it.

However, I can't understand why startup speed is that slow? Anyone else experiencing it? On 3 systems... Takes some seconds to show.

Yes always the same here but has been getting better with each update slowly.

I'm just waiting for the stable release of 1.3.
Vivaldi 1.2 is still on Chromium 51, but stable Chromium now is on 52.

Snapshot 1.3.582.3 - Web Panel improvements and a new Snapshot logo

In today's snapshot we use a new version of our logo to help show the difference between snapshots and stable builds, added new options for web panels and per tab zoom as been set as the new default.

New Snapshot logo

To avoid confusion about which version of Vivaldi you are running we now use a cool, new black version of our logo for snapshots and reserve the red one for final releases.

Web Panel improvement
Web panels are great but some sites need a little more space than others when used as a panel, so we added an option for web panels to retain separate widths. In addition you can optionally add more controls to your web panels, if you find the home button is not enough. Just right click on the web panel to see the new options.

Known issues

• Pinch to zoom not working on Mac
• Some resolutions may still show the red Vivaldi icon

Spoiler: Changelog

• [Mac] Gestures don't work in Settings in a tab (VB-20258)

Latest version.


Snapshot 1.4.589.2 - Vivaldi 1.4RC 1

As the week ends, we are getting closer to another stable release 1.4. Our focus towards 1.4 is fixing regressions, so when reporting issues below, please focus on any regressions since the previous stable 1.3. With this snapshot we also added two new features for your themes and closed tabs.

Schedule your theme
New in Vivaldi 1.4 RC1 is the ability to schedule themes. You find it in Settings, under Themes. Once you’ve enabled it, select a time and a theme, Vivaldi handles the rest. A timeline visualization helps explain when the changes will take place.

Theme Scheduling can be useful for many different things, such as automatically switching to a darker UI at night.

As with most things at Vivaldi — we did not stop there. You can schedule as many theme changes as you want. So you can have the theme change when you’re supposed to leave work, or when it’s time for bed.

Want to retrieve closed tab in one click?
Use middle-click of your mouse on the Trash icon and your last closed tab will be opened again!

Please let us know if you see any regression between 1.3 and the latest snapshot. If you want to discuss new features or long standing issues to be addressed after 1.4, please use our forums.
