What's new in Vivaldi

No "strings" attached: Better site compatibility with User Agent changes:
Being a Chromium-based browser, Vivaldi should work on any website that works on Chrome. Yet, we have faced the issue of "incompatible websites" far too often
This is because many websites that work perfectly in Vivaldi, actively block us when we "announce" our true name. Vivaldi is often blocked by competitors, rivals and tech companies in positions of power. Blocking browsers has no technical merit in 2019, nor has it ever had
Our users regularly encounter messages that they have to upgrade their browser or the site will not work. Although we have made workarounds for a few of these issues, this is happening on too many sites and some are hard to fix
From this update onwards, you’ll be able to browse smoothly all those websites that claim to be incompatible with Vivaldi. This is because we’ve changed Vivaldi’s user agent string. Basically, the word ‘Vivaldi’ is being dropped from the user agent string
For the uninitiated, a browser sends its "user agent" to every website you connect to. A user agent is a string - that is, a line of text - identifying the browser to the web server, including the version number and operating system
Over time, the browser "user agent" system has been abused with the practice of "browser sniffing" and a lot of ink has already been spilled on the reasons why the user agent string should not be used for such bad practices. In short, instead of making the Web accessible to everyone, regardless of which browser or device they are using, this has worked the opposite way
The primary reason to show Vivaldi in the user agent is a level of pride. That pride, however, is hurting us, as our competitors and others are using this to block us from their services. That is why with today’s update, we’ve drawn a line in the sand so that you can browse more websites without a glitch
Colour-coordinated: Match your themes with your operating system:
Vivaldi already allowed you to schedule the ultra-customizable Vivaldi themes to change at your preferred time(s) - a unique feature that gives your browser a look that’s exclusively yours
Now you’ll find a new quirky option so that Vivaldi can work in concert with the themes of your operating system - to match light or dark theme (the latter being all the rage these days). Vivaldi can now follow the theme of your OS too
To match the themes according to your OS, go to Settings → Themes → Scheduled Themes → Use Operating System Theme. You may pick any pre-installed or custom theme to be used in light and dark mode
Or you can always set up your own time schedule, regardless of OS, using as many themes you want
Other Improvements:
Our focus on improving your overall browsing experience is an integral process of building Vivaldi.
Here’s more on the offer:
Improvements in the Address Bar layout along with some tweaks in keyboard handling
If you are a heavy user of Extensions in Vivaldi, there have been improvements in the toggle to show or hide hidden extensions
Significant performance improvements to Quick Commands
New:
User Agent: Only set Vivaldi/Version for duckduckgo.com, ecosia.org|com, qwant.com, startpage.com and vivaldi.com|net
Themes - Settings: Add a theme scheduling option to follow operating system light/dark theme
Quick Commands: Keep text in input field if command not executed: Settings → Quick Commands → Keep Last Entered Value
Keyboard - Bookmarks: Support for focusing the bookmark bar: can be mapped as a shortcut
Extensions: Horizontal extension-popup instead of vertical extension-popup
Accessibility:
Focus does not go to password popup
Address Bar:

Hidden bottom address bar is on top (when focused)
Hostname with an appended slash is not recognized as URL
Nickname search requires two spaces to show nicknamed icon

URL is not focused when "Settings → Tabs → New Tab page → Specific Page" is set
Unsafe script references in the blocked content dialog are misleading

Regression: Focus not in the address bar in private windows
Regression: Should support drag-and-drop editing

Regression: Popup buttons move to left after hitting Delete
