Vivaldi Browser Updates

Vivaldi 3.7 Build 2218.45

Work or play, most of us are living in a browser today. We rely on the browser to create connections and get our work done. But it can get frustrating if the browser, its tabs, or windows take a wee bit longer to open.
The latest update of Vivaldi addresses this concern. It offers a faster version that will help you shave off seconds, even minutes of your day and potentially hours in a year. Now the browser tabs open twice as fast. Even a new window now opens 26% faster than before.
 
Vivaldi 3.7 also includes native support for Apple computers using the new ARM-based M1 processors.
 
It is hard to shed our habit of adding more flexible functionality to boost productivity and performance in every update. Even in this version, you’ll find some new options to our built-in features such as configurable Menus, Web Panels, and Quick Commands.
 
We just don’t want you to slow down. So go ahead and download the new faster Vivaldi on Windows, Mac, and Linux computers.
