@nito What I am talking about is not smooth scrolling of the preferences. I have noticed the existence now. When I install Vivaldi, I recommend installing the application to macOS by Vivaldi. I think that it is an add-on attached to it.
Correction: Swipe navigation works intermittently in Vivaldi 1.6 RC!
It was working fine then it suddenly stopped working! If I open a page in a new window and click some links to generate history, it starts working again.
I've reported the issue and hopefully they can get this working reliably again soon.
Looks like your connection to Vivaldi Forum was lost, please wait while we try to reconnect.
