Vivaldi 7.6 brings an editable tab bar and more to desktop users – NotebookCheck.net News
In its quest for delivering the ultimate customization capabilities, Vivaldi 7.6 for desktop arrives with a fully customizable tab bar alongside the Tab Button. Additionally, this update sports cleaner context menus, address field keyword search, ad blocker upgrades, faster switching to hibernated tabs, and more.
The latest Vivaldi Browser for desktops is now available, and it carries the same long version number, which is 7.6.3797.52, for macOS, Windows, and Linux users alike. While there’s much more to it than the Tab Button, this update’s most obvious change is the solid improvement in the tab management area. Specifically, users now can take advantage of a fully customizable tab bar, while the aforementioned button allows them to search open tabs, synced tabs, as well as recently closed tabs, all accessible in one view.
In addition to the tab management features mentioned above, this update also includes the following:
- Cleaner context menus, which have been decluttered and are now featuring only the core options that most users need.
- The ability to search certain keywords in the tabs, bookmarks, or in the history category from the address field.
- Trackpad or touchscreen swipe gesture support on Windows devices.
- Popup rule support and a few minor optimizations for the built-in ad blocker.
- Hibernated tabs now wake up faster than before.
For now, the mobile versions of the browser are still stuck at version 7.5. In addition to the above, Vivaldi 7.6.3797.52 also irons out several crashes on macOS, some search errors that occurred on all platforms, and various other bugs.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
