Vivaldi 1.4

Estimated reading time: 1 minute.

A new release of Vivaldi features enhancements to theme support, including theme scheduling. Panels can now be different widths, and middle-clicking the garbage icon now restores the most recently closed tab.

Wait. Theme scheduling? Does anyone really need this? Frankly, I wish the Vivaldi developers would focus on the core issues, like tabs, bookmarks, and link handling, which are still a mess, in my opinion. Why is Vivaldi the only browser that doesn’t highlight the contents of the address bar on right-click?

The Vivaldi 1.4 release announcement has additional details, including a complete list of changes.

About jrivett

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
