Jon von Tetzchner has announced today the availability of Vivaldi 7.2. The latest big innovation was what they called Dashboard, a home page filled with useful widgets. In the previous version They added another highly requested widget, a weather widget, which, to be honest, I tried adding myself using the Weather Channel, but it didn't look very good. In today's launch, they added another widget, but let's take it step by step.
The most important thing about Vivaldi 7.2 is that the address bar is faster, so it displays results in less time. Suggestions are more precise, and we'll be more efficient when performing any action in the new bar. Additionally, Vivaldi 7.2 will load pages faster. We will have to see to what extent, since I I have noticed some problems of this type also in Brave, so the problem is on my machine + Chromium.
New converter widget in Vivaldi 7.2
Other new features include the ability to override keyboard shortcuts, create calendar events from emails, the ability to reorder email accounts, and a widget for converting currencies.
Personally, as a KDE user with many options for demanding users, this might not be enough for me, since I can do that in the start menu or in KRunner. But I'll have to try this dedicated currency converter. It will surely allow conversions to more currencies. And who knows, in the future they might improve this widget or add another one to convert all types of units.
Vivaldi 7.2 was announced a few hours ago, and is now available in the official repository for Debian-based distributions, as well as its packages. snap y flatpack, the latter marked as “unverified” despite the package being uploaded by a Vivaldi contributor.
