Vivaldi, the free cross-platform web browser, has unveiled a new update for Android,
Build your own browser from the get-go with Vivaldi 5.5 on Android and discover a new way to automatically close inactive tabs, enhancing performance and your experience. Available on Android, Chromebooks, tablets, and in cars. Some of us tend to open a lot of tabs and forget to close them. For those of you in this position, we have added a setting that will automatically close inactive tabs. No more need to cycle through your different tabs and close them one by one. You’ll find this new “Automatically Close Tabs (Never, One week, One month, Three months)” option in Settings – Tabs.
Vivaldi will also initiate a new check for inactive tabs when one of the settings (Never, One Week, One Month, Three Months) is changed.
You can also close inactive tabs simply by tapping on the “Close inactive tabs” button without waiting to be notified. To inject some fun into your browsing, a snack bar pops up when you have closed inactive tabs. ?
But Vivaldi is not only about flexibility and features that improve the way you browse, it is also about how much control you have over your browsing.
So, even for this new option, how you handle your tabs is up to you — close them or simply keep them the way they are. That said, the company recommends closing all inactive tabs to improve performance and extend battery life.
If you are a first-time user, the new version Vivaldi 5.5 also makes it easier for you to get started and discover its customizable features, with a new and improved welcome flow
