This release brings a redesigned user interface with floating tabs and sleek new icons.
We're also introducing a new flagship feature, Dashboard. A fully customizable control center housing your Mail, Calendar, Notes, Tasks, and Feed Reader.
Hi Product Hunt! Vlad from Vivaldi here. š
Today we're launching the biggest update in Vivaldi's history. We've completely redesigned the browser and added Dashboard - a command center that brings your entire digital life into one place.
What's new in Vivaldi 7:
ā¢ Fresh UI with floating tabs and a cleaner look
ā¢ Dashboard: Customize your start page with mail, calendar, tasks, feeds, and any website widgets
ā¢ Real-time sync across devices
ā¢ Improved Feed Reader with folder organization
Why this matters: While other browsers serve the masses, Vivaldi is the only web browser powerful enough to match you.
With all the features and tools you need built-in and unmatched levels of customization. From the new design to the Dashboard widget.
And unlike Big Tech browsers, we respect your privacy.
I'll be here all day to answer your questions. Try it out and us know what you think! š
@vladislav_roslyak1 Vivaldi's latest update is impressive, showcasing a completely redesigned interface and a centralized Dashboard for managing digital life!
What made me leave Vivaldi a few years ago, was that it was slow and one couldn't customize the size of vertical tabs. Has any work been done on performance and true customizability of vertical tabs?
Happy to give Vivaldi another shot. š
@michacassola Hey Micha! š Sorry to hear that you encountered issues in the past. We push updates to our browser every week, so many things have happened since the last time you tried it.
And of course, vertical tabs are customizable.
Would love for you to give it another shot, and let us know how you feel about it.
@uladzislau_rasliak Will do that later today and give it a good try. Also: Is there a better way to reach you for feedback than a forum? I really dislike forums for that as people will come in and tell you that you don't need the feature your asking for or that your bug is intended...
@uladzislau_rasliak I was happy for a second there, but it turns out you still cannot change the tab height of tabs in vertical mode. Also being able to change the distance between them and the height would be nice. And compact display mode only does so much and interface zoom is not the right tool for that either. I wished you could see my Firefox with Sidebery and some CSS added to it.
Huge congrats to the Vivaldi team on the sleek new 7.0 launch! Loving the minimalist vibes with the floating tabs and fresh icons. Dashboard sounds like a productivity powerhouse - can you tell me, are there plans to integrate third-party services (e.g. Google Calendar, Outlook Mail) into the Dashboard, or is it primarily for Vivaldi's native apps for now?
