Vivaldi has released version 5.5 of its browser, again with numerous new features such as a task panel in the sidebar, improved setup of accounts under Vivaldi Mail and Calendar, and improvements in the address field that increase the speed published.
New area for tasks and schedules
In addition to numerous bug fixes, the developers particularly emphasize the new task area in the sidebar when it comes to innovations. With this, tasks and schedules can be created and tracked even more easily and efficiently – without leaving the browser. You can set details like due date, recurrences, location and description (including relevant URL) and reminders. These created tasks are also displayed with the due date in the appropriate place in the main view of the calendar. Various layouts and views should also make working with the new functions easier. Completed tasks can be hidden or continue to be displayed if desired.
Easier integration of services
Likewise, with the new version, many services should now be much easier to create. While detailed information was previously required for setting up mail and calendar accounts, these server details are downloaded and configured automatically in most cases and insofar as the provider provides them. In many cases, the user only has to enter their login data.
Faster input
Working fast increases speed. This is how the optimization of the address bar could be described, parts of which have been completely rewritten by the developers and which are intended to make entering addresses even easier and faster. The structure of the page itself should not be faster as a result, but the entire process. “Fast typists” in particular should benefit from the new feature.
Support for snap layouts
With the additional support of the snap layout introduced with Windows 11, the size of one or more windows can be automatically adjusted when dragging on the corresponding operating system in order to be able to optimally utilize the available space on the screen. With the new browser version, users can choose from various predefined layouts in order to adapt up to 4 windows at the same time.
