Did the recent update remove "Move tab to new window"?
-
After installing the latest update for MacOS (which claims to fix the well-known crashing issue), I can no longer find the option when right-clicking a tab to move that tab to a new window.
Was it removed???
I use this a lot to send a tab to my 2nd monitor so when I switch computers via a KVM, I can see that content while I'm working on a different computer.

After right-clicking a tab, can you not hover over "Move Tab" and get another menu with "Left", "Right", and "To New Window"? -
@ImaginaryFreedom Visit
vivaldi://settings/appearance
and under »menu customization« pick »tab« and »restore default menu.« -

Another weird thing was that if I went to open Preferences via the Vivaldi menu, instead of opening the preferences tab, it just opened a blank page instead.
Now both of those things are working again.
Very strange.

It's working again now as I mentioned in my reply to @Streptococcus

Glad it fixed itself! (Now if only the "Freeze on right-click" issue can be resolved...:)

So I take it the "Crash fix release" didn't work for you then?

@ImaginaryFreedom Not entirely... My machine runs hot, the system (kernal task) routinely spikes over 80-90% CPU; and Vivaldi (Stable) -for no reason I can find- goes from < 3 GB to > 10 or 12 GB... This afternoon its memory usage was over 30 GB! (I was able to restart my Mac, luckily! : I'd force-quit Vivaldi, twice, from the Activity Monitor — the system's force-quit utility didn't list Vivaldi! Very strange behavior)
How I wonder did Vivaldi's windows remain on the screen — after I'd quit the program?!

Well the problem occurred again this afternoon.
However in this case, it apparently only affected a subset of my i7's cores, because while I couldn't quit Vivaldi (or most other apps), the UI was otherwise responsive, I could navigate with the mouse, move windows, type text in an already open text editor window, etc.
But I couldn't quit or force-quit anything. And the CPU was continuously pegged at ~33% according to the "IO LED" tool which shows that number continuously in the top of the screen. (Which is very handy when the deadlock prevents me from opening some other diagnostic tool like Activity Monitor)
Once again I had to power off to escape this nonsense. I had assumed that the OS does an fdisk or "First aid" on the HDDs when booting after such a dirty shutdown. But when I ran it manually the system disk reported a mismatch of free space - not a huge surprise after such a forced power off without any disk repair afterwards.
So I ran First Aid on all my disks from recovery, saw no more errors, and restarted.
The apparent genesis of it this time was trying to open my bank's website, which I use fairly frequently. Vivaldi just sat there with the progress indicator showing that it had accepted the request but was waiting, and then of course the "beachball of death".
First time I tried the same page after going through the disk tests etc, the page loaded just fine.

Firstly I want to apologize that I edited that last comment like a half-dozen times because I kept seeing I had made bad grammatical choices. I don't like the way the post editor here works, the default editor window is to small and the "expanded version" covers up everything.
Anyway - how large were those screenshots you posted? When I viewed them here they were so small I couldn't read them.

@ImaginaryFreedom I use Preview's Tools > Adjust Size — to ease the forum task. Sorry, of course resolution has to suffer...
But I usually type pertinent info in the body proper of my posts. (At least, I mean to...:)Myself, I'm an agnostic editor user: I try to make the best of whatever is given.
Full-size screen shot
If you click my reduced-size screen shots, the forum software will open them in a new tab; use ⌘+ to magnify to 300%, and you'll see most of what you think you're missing...
And as you hover that page, note the pointer's shape! -
These are much larger.
The originals were so small they would have just turned to unreadable, larger mush if I tried to magnify them that much.
