It has been almost six months since we introduced you to Vivaldi browser. During this time it was released several versions of the program, and added many new features. Let's make their audit and see if Vivaldi ready to participate fully in the fight against c giants.
In the past review Vivaldi made a very good impression on me. In it successfully combined details the interface and features many favorite browser Opera c technological power of Chromium. Many have tried to build on the basis of engine Chromium your own original browser, but only Vivaldi developers it is really successful.
However, at the time of writing the review Vivaldi lacked the very small, to occupy a permanent place on my computer. We are talking about a full-fledged support for extensions, without which today can not do any internet user. And that's just recently published version vivaldi 1.0.249.12 you can finally use any expansion of the store Chrome Web Store. Rather, they can be installed before, but now there is a special extension panel, which displays their buttons.
The second innovation concerns the opening panel on the left, or, as it is called, the sidebar. Now we have the opportunity, in addition to notebooks, bookmarks and downloads, opening it any sites. To do this, click on the button to add a new site in the form of a plus sign and enter a web address. In this panel will be a new button with an icon site, when clicked, it opens in the sidebar. It is very convenient to keep on hand so various web services, particularly those that have an adaptive design, or the mobile version.
The third new feature, which want to draw your attention - is the improved Address Bar. Now it appears not only to progress the page is loaded, but also the speed and number of loaded images. Very clearly and conveniently.
