Vivaldi is probably the best alternative to browsers from Google and Mozilla. Yes, he still can't shake the web monopoly. But the developers do not give up and continue to add more and more new chips that competitors do not have. Update 1.5 is a clear proof that Vivaldi does not think to give up without a fight.
With the new update, Vivaldi has received support for the Philips Hue digital backlight system. Smart bulbs synchronize with the browser and generate light to match the coloring of the site on which the user is currently located. So far, this function has no practical application. However, in the future, the lighting feature may become part of the Internet of Things.
Interactive lighting is just the first step for us. Imagine a future in which notifications about a new email will be delivered to you using a light bulb.
The creators of Vivaldi have done a great job to bring order to the chaos that is happening with the tabs of many users. Previously, tabs could be grouped together by simply dragging one onto the other. Thanks to the update, it is no longer necessary to cling to each tab separately, you can group several of them at once.
It is also now possible to move tabs one by one or in a group from one browser window to another or even outside the window. You can see how this is done in the following video.
Previously, the button of this function was hidden in the browser interface. Now it has appeared where it should be: on the right side of the address bar. By activating the reading mode, you can get rid of videos, GIFs and other distracting elements of the web.
The built-in tool for notes allows you to quickly and conveniently save text and links without leaving the browser. Now users can configure the automatic addition of a screenshot of the page to the note.
A function that has almost no meaning for the bulk of users, but is indispensable for those who do not have a fast Internet. When updating, only new parts of the Vivaldi browser code will now be downloaded.
