Vivaldi version 1.3 debuts with custom themes and enhanced privacy

Vivaldi has released version 1.3, that introduces Custom Themes to add a new dimension to personalization, protection for WebRTC IP leakage to improve privacy, and more mouse gestures.

Vivaldi 1.3 introduces custom themes, so users can customize every UI element to your taste, or pick from additional themes from designers. This makes Vivaldi the most colorful browser available.

Custom Themes also bring an accessibility improvement, because we added programmatic support to enforce minimal contrast. This makes Vivaldi more comfortable to use for people with visual impairments, or who work in dimly lit environments.

Mouse gestures get a major improvement in version 1.3. We’ve added more default mouse gestures and you can even customize more than 90 different browser actions.

For Linux users, we made some platform-specific improvements with this release. First, we made tab hibernation better for you. Tab hibernation puts tabs to sleep, so they don’t hog system resources. To hibernate a tab, simply right click on it. We also improved our support for proprietary media in HTML5.

“Vivaldi is all about putting the user in control,” said Jon von Tetzchner, CEO, Vivaldi Technologies. “Whether it’s improving the personalization by adding custom themes, increasing privacy, or giving more options and features, we put our users first with everything we do. We want to make browsing safer, more personal, more productive and more fun for everyone.”
