Hi there,
We hope this email finds you tab-freaking-tastic!
Your browser should adapt to you, not the other way around. That's the design principle behind every decision we make.
Vivaldi 7.7 takes that principle further with updates that fundamentally improve how you organize, access, and control your browsing experience. This release brings together features that have been carefully refined based on what you've told us matters most: seamless access to your tabs across desktops, a unified Start Page that finally combines widgets and Speed Dials and granular control over browser performance.
This is a release built around solving real problems that power users face every day.
🖥️ All your tabs, structured, anywhere you need them
Accessing tabs from your other desktop devices is now close to effortless. Open the Windows Panel or click the Tab Button, and you'll see exactly what's open on your other synced machines. Whether you want just one tab or need that whole workspace you built this morning, or maybe you want all those research tabs you organized into a stack? When you open synced content, you're not just getting a flat list of individual tabs. You can bring over entire windows with their complete structure intact. Stacks stay stacked, workspace organization is preserved, and the relationships between your tabs remain exactly as you arranged them.
🧑🎨 Your Start Page, Your way
Widgets and Speed Dials now coexist beautifully in a unified Start Page experience. Your favorite sites sit alongside real-time information from widgets, creating a personal dashboard that's uniquely yours. The flexibility extends to how you organize your spaces. You are free to personalize as many speed dial groups YOU deem necessary. Add widgets, drag them around, resize them, mix them with Speed Dial folders, the Start Page becomes whatever you need it to be.
🔐 Privacy you can see
We've refreshed the Privacy Dashboard with a new, cleaner design that makes it easier to understand exactly what Vivaldi is doing to protect you. The updated Privacy Dashboard gives you clear visibility into blocked trackers, ads, and the time you've saved by not loading intrusive content. This gives you a better understanding of the impact of browsing with protection enabled.
🎛️ Take control of performance
We've added a new Performance section to Settings, complete with Memory Saver options. Now you can decide how aggressively Vivaldi manages memory for inactive tabs. Whether you're someone who keeps dozens of tabs open or you prefer a lighter footprint, these settings let you balance performance with your browsing habits.
📧 Mail panel refinements
The Mail panel has also received some UI polish. We've made visual refinements to improve readability and usability, making it easier to work with your email directly in the browser. Small improvements that make daily use just a bit smoother.
Geir, our lead mail developer puts it this way: "It is a lot nicer, a lot clearer and looks much more organized". Can’t argue with that!
🫧 A cleaner About page
Sometimes even the small things deserve attention. The About page has been completely redesigned with a fresh, modern look and improved update handling. The new About page is cleaner and more informative. It's a small touch, but it's these kinds of refinements that add up to a better overall experience. When you need information about your browser, it's right there, presented clearly.

Every Vivaldi release builds on the same idea: the browser should work for you, not the other way around. We’re here to give you more choice, more control, and more respect for your privacy. We hope you enjoy it!

Best,
Team Vivaldi
