The release of Vivaldi 7.9 introduces significant enhancements aimed at improving user experience during browsing sessions. A standout feature, UI Auto-hide, allows users to conceal the browser's interface for a cleaner, distraction-free view while working or browsing. This feature can be activated with a simple keyboard shortcut of Ctrl+F11 or ⌘+F10, providing users with more screen space.
In addition to the UI improvements, users can now utilize the right-click function to open links as Follower Tabs, which appear next to the current tab, minimizing clutter. Vivaldi Mail has also been enhanced, with the ability to open in a separate window and a reduction in its RAM usage for better performance.
Vivaldi emphasizes customization in this update, allowing users to decide which interface elements to keep visible. The new version is available for download starting today, making it a timely upgrade for those seeking a streamlined browsing experience.
