Summary

As far as third-party browsers go, some people swear by Vivaldi, and with good reason. Now, with version 7.2, it’s getting even faster to use—and I’m not just talking about page load times, either.

Vivaldi has just launched version 7.2 of its browser. Compared toversion 7.1, t comes with a bunch of changes, but the bulk of them are geared to make the browser faster. The address bar has been streamlined to give you quicker and more relevant search results. The new address bar now gives you more accurate searches and better suggestions so you’re able to get where you want to go faster.

And when you do get to your desired website, Vivaldi 7.2 also includes optimized connection handling, leading to faster page load times. While the specifics of these optimizations may not be immediately visible to the average user, Vivaldi claims that some users may experience page load speeds that are more than twice as fast as before.

If you happen to use a lot of shortcuts, Vivaldi is also gaining a feature where you can make sure your shortcuts are not conflicting with any shortcuts a website might have. You can now prioritize either Vivaldi-specific or page-specific shortcuts in the browser’s settings, so you can make sure your browser’s shortcuts work exactly as you intended them to work, when you want them to.

You can now also create calendar events directly from emails or web pages. This is pretty cool since it allows you to just create an event straight from any email with a date on it, which lets you stay on top of meetings or events more easily. Vivaldi 7.2 also includes several other new features. A new Currency Widget provides real-time currency conversions directly on the browser’s dashboard. Workspaces can now be found even faster using Quick Commands. For those managing multiple email accounts, Vivaldi Mail now allows reordering your accounts so muscle memory doesn’t make you click, and send email from, the wrong address.
