They’re not true windows, per se, so they can’t be resized at will. Vivaldi goes beyond that, though-if you have six tabs stacked, the browser will tile them all.
VIVALDI BROWSER WINDOWS 10
There’s not really a clear delineation between one browser and the next, but this four-screen layout is rather useful.Įven more intriguingly, you can “tile” those tabs in one of a few preset configurations, just like Windows 10 allows you to “snap” windows to the four corners of the screen. And though tabs tend to wriggle away over time as you open more, you can drop one tab on top of another to stack them, a nice way to create groups and subgroups of tabs without needing to scroll back and forth or create another window. (Edge, to its credit, fills the white space with news and information.) Hover over an open tab and it automatically displays a small preview. Vivaldi fresh tabs maintain the cheery Speed Dial page of Opera’s browser: on it, you can pick your background, and arrange a few of your favorite icons. Maybe you’d prefer a vertical column of tabs stacked to the right side of your window? Vivaldi makes no judgments. But if that’s not your thing, you can banish those icons to the side or bottom of your browser during the setup process. I’m not wholly in love with Vivaldi’s visual aesthetic: for some reason, Opera, Vivaldi, and Microsoft’s Edge designers all seem smitten with bare, brutalist icons chiseled into a concrete gray background. Even the brief setup procedure encourages you to think about moving your list of tabs and URL bar to different locations on the screen. You can then display all of those stacked tabs onscreen in a Windows 10 Snap-like arrangement-and those handy touches are just the beginning. So many of Vivaldi’s features seem delightfully clever once you start using them, like tab stacking, which allows you to create a group of tabs simply by dropping one on top of the other.
