Vivaldi 7.5: color, clarity, and control

jon

Just in time for summer, Vivaldi 7.5 is here! This release is about sharper control, cleaner interaction, and stronger privacy. It’s also about squashing a swarm of bugs (code ones, not the cute kind, more on that below).

Was really hoping for VB-117755 "[Linux] Adjust font anti-aliasing parameters" to get resolved this version. Guess your developers are still working on it. Stellar release! Waiting for it to become available on the Arch Linux repo

@jon please provide 7.6 snapshot with editable tab bar soonest
(like many previous early snapshots.)
We loved editable tab bar. 🥰

I don't like having close tab functions in a submenu. Luckily, we can edit the tab menu to go back to previous behavior.

A bug hotel? "Let's keep [...] our gardens wild"? This is awesome!!

It's not only the browser I love about Vivaldi. It's the whole spirit! Please keep up the great work and stay as you are

For those of you that manually installed 7.5RC1, these are the additional changes since that version:

[Crash] On tab strip manipulation
[Crash][Search][Sync] In search engines code, triggered by sync (VB-118299)
[Crash][macOS] On adding an new account (VB-118293)
[Menus][Tabs] The tab bar context menu is no longer accessible: partial fix † (VB-118155)

Also thanks to all the users who tested the RC and gave feedback. It is due to this that 3 of the 4 fixes listed were prioritised for fixing in time for the release.

† It now works on right click of the tab bar when native menus are enabled. A further, follow up fix is required to make it work right clicking on the '+' icon.

I love this update!

Does uBlock Origin still work on Vivaldi 7.5 (specifically uBO, not uBO Lite)? In other words, does this version still support Manifest V2?

Nice update, despite the DNS settings don't work for me, must remain in system setting, if not, I can't access any page. Maybe due to the Portmaster DNScrypt I use.

@rdnala, seems so, it is also still in the Store and it's not be flagged to be deleted at the moment.

PS. I have the Extension page in the Web Panel, so it's easier to access it at any moment.

@rdnala yep, because we are on chr138. Next release, which is chr140 will cut off ubo/mv2 support

The position and dimensions of the window controls are inconsistent with other elements. Too small in size and too high in position.
