Software Update: Vivaldi 4.3

Version 4.3 of the web browser Vivaldi has been released. Vivaldi is a web browser developed by former Opera employees. He mainly focuses on power users and users of Opera before the switch to Chromium, although this browser is also based on it. Vivaldi has extensive capabilities such as mouse gestures, tab stacking, extended keyboard shortcuts, and annotation on web pages. The browser is free and is being developed for Windows, Linux and macOS, and since version 3.4 also for Android. The main improvements made in this release are listed below:

Get perfect screenshots, refreshed every time with the oh-so-cool capture† Plus, it now has a resize option. Access it from the Status Bar via the camera icon, or activate it using Keyboard Shortcuts† Quick Commands and Mouse Gestures†

The Idle API. No longer a privacy bother.

Want more privacy and peace of mind while browsing? you have it. Google’s Idle API can be abused for behavioral tracking. Hence, we’ve turned it off by default. Unlike Chrome, Vivaldi does not allow websites to even ask. Requests are denied by default.

Vivaldi Translate now supports 108 languages.

We’ve added 68 new languages ​​so more people can access the web in their preferred language. Translate web pages and selected text — safely and securely. Powered by lingvanexthe translation engine is hosted on Vivaldi servers in Iceland.

Now more intuitive, the revamped Sync has a polished appearance and improved account setup and recovery. Go to Sync settings to download a backup encryption key which can help you recover your browser data should you ever forget the encryption password. Learn more

An informative graph shows your download speed over time, along with new buttons to restart or find downloads on your system. Oh yes, monitor your downloads at a glance with bolded key statistics.

On pages that support running as a PWA (Progressive Web App), there is a new “Install [website]” option on the right-click (context) tab menu. go for it! Put your PWA obsession to use now.

Cool and more private.
