Vivaldi’s latest update includes Accordian Tabs and Command Chains

Today, Vivaldi is releasing version 4.1 of its browser. The two key new features are Accordian Tabs and Command Chains.

Tab Stacks aren’t a new feature in Vivaldi 4.1. You can already use them in two different styles: Compact and Two-level, the latter of which is the default. You can create a Tab Stack just by dragging a tab on top of another, and then if you click on the group, the browser creates a second row of tabs for the ones in your Stack. With Compact, it just shows bars on top of the tab that let you cycle between them.

With Accordian Tabs, your Tab Stack will expand when you click on it. When you click on an outside tab, the group will collapse. You can also manually collapse it by clicking the little arrow next to the group. You can also keep it open after switching away from it by double-clicking on it.

You can change your Tab Stack settings by going to Settings -> Tabs.

Next up are Command Chains. The idea is pretty self-explanatory. You can set up a sequence of browser commands. For example, you can turn on Fullscreen and Reader modes at the same time to create an immersive experience.

You can create a new Command Chain by clicking the plus icon, and there are over 200 commands to work with. Then, you can either access it via Quick Commands (or by pressing F2), or you can create your own keyboard shortcut for it. They’re also available in the customizable menus, and Vivaldi says that the possibilities are “literally endless”.

There are a few smaller updates, such as a minute-counter in Reader View that will tell you how long it will take to read content. Also, Vivaldi 4.1 adds seamless updates on Windows, so the browser will just update in the background. Here’s the full changelog for Vivaldi 4.1:
