The final release of Vivaldi 1.3

Hello!

Summer is a difficult period to develop. Developers and users are leaving on vacation, so fewer employees can respond to fewer messages from voluntary testers and just users. But, be that as it may, the process does not stop for a minute. And today we are pleased to present you a new stable build - Vivaldi 1.3. From the most notable innovations can be noted:

• Customizable Themes
• Built-in color palette
• Configuring IP Address Processing for WebRTC

Well, now about all this and much more.

Customizable Themes

Here we continue the process of expanding the possibilities of customizing the browser interface. To date, it has become possible to choose a theme from the already existing ones, and to make their own changes in them, thus creating new ones of our own. You can change the color of the interface elements, change the contrast settings, as well as experiment with rounded corners.

IP address translation settings for WebRTC

And this setting appeared due to our constant attention to privacy issues and keeping personal user data safe. Services based on WebRTC technology are gaining popularity in the network, but sometimes this creates a problem: often these services require the translation of network addresses and thus can easily determine the real IP address of the user. We found a way out: you can disable IP address translation in your browser settings:

More gestures, good and different

We worked with mouse gestures. There are more of them by default, and the number of actions to which you can assign a gesture has increased significantly:

Little joys for Linux users

For Linux users in the new version of the browser Vivaldi special improvements have been made. First of all, the function of unloading open pages from memory has been improved. When using this feature, the computer does not waste system resources. The options for unloading open tabs from the computer’s memory are in the context menu of the right mouse button when the tab is clicked. In addition, HTML5 data support has been improved.

And much more...

This is only a small part of the changes from the last stable version of the browser. You can view the detailed list of changes on this page . For me personally, a separate joy was delivered by fixing a bug with scrolling the page, which every time strove to start over.

At this point, you can stop - the rest of the changes you can find and try out while working with the browser. True, for this you need to remember to install it:

And also do not forget to report any errors found .

I also want to remind you that the official forum has begun collecting requests for version 1.4 . Do not miss the chance to convey to developers their most intimate dreams.
