The Vivaldi 7.6 desktop update is here, and it’s all about control. With a fully customizable tab bar and smarter tab search, this release leans even harder into Vivaldi’s reputation for deep user personalization.
Vivaldi 7.6 gives the tab bar a full makeover
The biggest change in Vivaldi 7.6 is the editable tab bar. Now, you can tweak how your tabs look and behave, placing elements exactly where you want them. Whether you keep dozens of tabs open or prefer a clean layout, the browser finally adapts to you, not the other way around.
Right next to that is the new Tab Button, which consolidates three useful views: open tabs, synced tabs, and recently closed ones. It’s a quick-access hub that reduces the need for tab hunting.
New features go beyond tab tools in Vivaldi 7.6
While tabs steal the spotlight, there’s more under the hood. The update also introduces:
- Simplified, cleaner right-click context menus
- Address bar keyword search for bookmarks, tabs, and history
- Gesture support via touchscreen or trackpad on Windows
- Speed improvements when waking hibernated tabs
- Better pop-up rule handling for the built-in ad blocker
As a result, everything feels a bit more refined, less bloated, more speed.
Vivaldi 7.6 cleans up bugs and boosts performance
In addition to feature upgrades, Vivaldi 7.6.3797.52 squashes several platform-specific bugs. That includes crash fixes on macOS and search hiccups across all systems. Meanwhile, the mobile versions stay at 7.5, with no immediate word on when they’ll catch up.
Vivaldi 7.6 keeps pushing custom-first browsing
Once again, the Vivaldi 7.6 update puts user control front and center. From cleaner menus to tab bar edits, it’s clear the browser isn’t trying to mimic Chrome or Firefox; it’s carving its own path.
Browsers may be free, but control like this isn’t common.
