Weekly assembly Vivaldi 1.0.425.3 with a surprise

Hello!

Today, we have an unusual build. First, it is, as it were, unplanned. Secondly, in it you will find a new welcome page (we hope you will like it). And thirdly, for Windows, we have prepared an unusual experimental build, which is addressed to the creators of anti-virus programs, just adoring ochepyatki in words. :-)

But first things first.

New welcome page

For those who constantly use test builds, it is not a secret that during the development time our browser has acquired a lot of new features and configuration options. These users already know where to customize what to their liking and what options are available. But we are approaching the first final version of Vivaldi, which will surely be tried by those who have never worked with our browser before. For such newbies, probably, the abundance of Vivaldi features hidden in the depths of the settings will be inaccessible with a quick reference. In this case, we have prepared a new welcome page (vivaldi: // welcome), which opens after the first installation of the browser:

On this page, users can, in a couple of clicks, make the first interface settings according to their preferences, selecting the appropriate combinations from the presented thumbnails. We are waiting for your ideas to further improve this page. If you are not very familiar with the capabilities of the browser yet, you can visit the unofficial site vivalditips.com , created and maintained by our testers, Sopranos. There you can find a more complete description of the available browser features.

Antivirus - with love

After the release of the previous build, we received several messages from you that the antivirus program installed on your computer detected a virus in the browser code. First of all, we are in a hurry to inform you - we are healthy, we have no viruses! We also conducted some investigation of this incident and found that some anti-virus applications were very indifferent to the name of our company specified in the installer’s description. For example, if in the name of the company Vivaldi Technologies we remove one letter o (and get Vivaldi Technlogies ), the problem with the detection of viruses in Vivaldi magically disappears.

So that you could experiment on your own for the sake of interest, we have prepared a special assembly with errors in the words:

We hope that the databases of anti-virus programs will soon be updated taking into account our wishes, and most users simply will not notice this funny incident. In the end, we can not change the name of the company for each weekly assembly!

And now about the good

However, for this assembly, we not only intentionally created errors, but also intentionally corrected them. And also deliberately added new, long-awaited improvements. In short, you will find important in the list of fixes and improvements:


And much more. Full list of changes - at the end of the article.

Known Issues

Problems with dragging thumbnails on the Express panel. We are working on it. The gap between the tabs and the upper edge of the browser window also “fell off”, and we will also fix it in the near future.

That's all. Download the new assembly can be on the links below:

We remind you that the weekly assemblies are test, so do not forget to backup important data. You can report any errors found at the same address .
