14 DAY TRIAL // We've been informed by the folks from Vivaldi, the proprietary web browser based on the open-source Chromium project on which Google Chrome and Opera web browsers are also based, about the availability of the first Snapshot post-Beta.
Ruarí Ødegaard of Vivaldi has posted details about Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.321.3, a release that fixes over 50 issues reported by users since the first Beta build of the web browser, and adds several optimizations to the tab behavior. Among the most important changes, we can mention that users can use backspace again to navigate the history, and various extensions now work as expected.
"This is our first snapshot since the beta and we have fixed almost 50 bugs and made further improvements with tab behaviour," writes Mr. Ødegaard, Linux QA and Testing at Vivaldi. "Two key fixes that we know some of you were waiting for are: backspace once again navigates in history and several more popular extensions are now working correctly."
As mentioned, the tab closing behavior has received various tweaks in Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.321.3. Among them, we can notice that tabs will no longer be resized immediately, which gives users time to click on the close button. You can download Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.321.3 for GNU/Linux, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows operating systems right now from Softpedia, but please try to keep in mind that it's a pre-release version, not suitable for production use.
