Vivaldi Technologies is kicking off 2025 with the release of Vivaldi 7.1, packed with features that make the browser even more adaptable to you. From improvements to the Dashboard, to seamless tab imports, this update focuses on enhancing control, customization, and efficiency in your browsing experience.
Highlights of Vivaldi 7.1
Stay Informed with the Weather Widget
Never miss a weather update again. The new Weather Widget provides real-time updates for your location or any area you choose. Pin it to your Dashboard, a feature introduced in Vivaldi 7.0 that centralizes all your digital tools, and stay in the loop alongside your mail, calendar, feeds, and more. Whether planning your day or preparing for unexpected weather, this widget keeps you informed at a glance.
A Personal Touch for Your Dashboard
Your Dashboard just got more customizable. Two new updates let you tailor widgets to your preferences:
- Background Style Options: Customize widget backgrounds to match your aesthetic, from sleek minimalism to bold creativity.
- Web Widget Theme Colors: Power users can now create widgets that automatically adapt to the browser’s theme, ensuring a seamless, integrated look.
Switch to Vivaldi Without Leaving Tabs Behind
Switching browsers shouldn’t mean losing your flow. With Import Open Tabs, you can bring active tabs from other browsers directly into Vivaldi. Whether you’re transitioning to Vivaldi or using multiple browsers, this feature keeps your workflow intact, no hunting for lost tabs or starting over.
A Simpler Way to Manage Speed Dials
Speed Dials are your personal launchpad for the web. With the new Add Speed Dial dialog, organizing your favorite sites is quicker and more intuitive than ever. Whether it’s news, tools, or daily essentials, everything you need is just a click away.
Seamless Sharing with Send Tab to Device
Found something on your desktop you want to revisit on your phone? With Send Tab to Device, you can share tabs instantly between your Vivaldi-enabled devices. Desktop-to-mobile sharing will be available on January 30. It’s fast, effortless, and keeps your browsing uninterrupted, no matter where you are.
New Default Search Engines
To maintain Vivaldi’s independence and keep the browser free, we’ve updated our default search engines to include partners like Startpage, Ecosia, DuckDuckGo, and Qwant. These search engines generate revenue while respecting user privacy.
