Last november we echoed something that Vivaldi Technologies was preparing for your browser. In practically all its rivals, I do not know another that does it, when we want to check our mail or see what tasks we have ahead we have to enter the service's website or use a client like Thunderbird. That will no longer be necessary from Vivaldi 4.0 that have thrown this very morning.
In fact, these options helped I will change to Vivaldi as the default browser it is now a little over a month. Besides of calendar and mailAnyone who wants to subscribe to RSS feeds can also do so from a new tool, but if I personally don't use it it is because it mixes mail with news, it appears that there is something to read and it does not synchronize between devices, so I have stayed with Inoreader at the side panel.
Vivaldi 4.0 highlights
- Native translation tool, powered by Lingvanex.
- Mail client (by tabs), calendar and RSS that are added to the side panel. If the RSS option is enabled, a new icon appears in the URL bar for quick subscription. In the release note they explain how to make it not show in the mail, so I'll give it another chance.
- New welcome screen from where we choose how much of the special functions we want to use, between the essential, classic and complete option. How could it be otherwise, if something is not activated from the beginning, it can be activated later.
- New topics.
- Support for Azerbaijani and Kurdish.
- Engine updated to Chromium 91.0.4472.79.
- Fixed many bugs, all available in the change list.
Vivaldi 4.0 has been officially launched this morning, so Windows and macOS users can now update from the same browser or download the new version from the official page. Among Linux users, in Ubuntu it is already available from the repository, while other operating systems will arrive in the next few days.
