Vivaldi has been updated to version 7.6. The update brings a fully customizable tab bar.
Right-click on any button on the Tab bar and select Customize Toolbar to open the Toolbar Editor. You can add or remove any button from your Tab bar.
Drag and drop the buttons where you like them to be, rearrange them on the browser's tab bar. Click on Done to save your settings. If you ever messed it up, or want to revert to the default settings, just click on "Reset Tab Bar to default".
The update adds a new icon in the top right corner of the title bar, this is the Tab button. Click on the Tab button to view a list of your open tabs, and also lets you access your recently closed tabs. You can use the search bar to find tabs quickly. It reminds me of Firefox View, but the fact that this is a pop-up panel, not a tab, makes this the better implementation of the two.
Note: Oh, I almost missed this, the Tab button removes the trash icon and cloud icon from the tab bar (seen below). To get them back, use the Toolbar editor, and add the Closed Tabs and Synced Tabs buttons back to the tab bar.
It's not all about the Tab Bar, Vivaldi 7.6 also ships with a handful of quality of life improvements. Vivaldi's context menu has been reorganized. The address bar now supports search keywords that let you jump to tabs, bookmarks, history quickly. To find a specific tab, type @tabs followed by the name. Example: @tabs ghacks
Similarly, you can type @bookmarks and @history. Tab search in particular is very helpful, as it filters the result as you type. And yes, it works across tab groups.
The browser's built-in ad blocker now offer popup rules, to automatically close advertisement tabs or windows that a website may try to open. It will allow legitimate site behavior to function. These rules work alongside the built-in popup blocker.
Vivaldi says that tabs that are sleeping take less time to wake up. You can now use trackpad gestures to navigate back and forth in web pages, it also works with touch screen input. This feature is currently available on Windows.
For a full change log, refer to the announcement on Vivaldi's blog. It's nice to see Vivaldi is not shoving AI features hastily just because, if only other browser makers resisted the hype. You know which browser I'm talking about.
