Thanks a lot for this new version.

Thanks for the great work! I like how workspaces are becoming more like Firefox containers. They just need to be able to separate the data by container to reach their full potential.

Using Vivaldi on my Android phone. Love it. But still no two-finger-swipe gestures on trackpad for history forward/back makes the browser useless on a laptop.

Thanks. Updated my Review Page with the latest changes.

This is huge! With the sessions panel I believe I'll be able to conquer my tab hoarding habits.
Is there a chance to make sessions groupable into folders, like bookmarks are?

Sadly the browser is cracked holiday gift for me.

🪲Spatial Navigation fails on some pages to select links if a skip link menu is selected by Tab key.
Bug reported as VB-102375 "[regression] Spatial Navigation broken after opening menu for skiplinks with Tab key"

11th updated

A nice and "undocumented" improvement for Spatial Navigation is that Ctrl+Enter now actually opens a new background tab - previously it did the same as Shift+Enter.

Really? Nor on my 6.5.3206.39 Win 11, neither on 6.5.3218.16 Always foregound.

@DoctorG Make sure you're not running any extensions that interfere - like my Spatial Navigation extension seems to mess this up but for me that's fine since I still prefer using it anyway.

~~Not only that but with Quick Commands too .~~ ~~Both~~ reported by me ~~(VB-100440)~~ (VB-100562)

/edit: correction: opening in the background for QC was already working, 100440 was about domain expansion (which doesn't make any sense now that Ctrl+Enter is being used for opening in the background.)

@DoctorG Maybe that's why it wasn't mentioned in the changelog, because it is not working 100% correct (yet). Focusing All Controls and Links seem to affect it, tick Forms Only and reload.

DoctorG

@Pathduck A hell of usability.
Fails if i have activated Settings → Webpages → Focus → Focus All Controls and Links

@DoctorG Ouch, yeah that's unfortunate. I guess SpatNav should be able to replace the endless tabbing on websites, but it does not always work so users have to also use tab-navigation and it breaks...
