Vivaldi 4.3 improves the capture tool, the download panel and the translations

PWA in Vivaldi 4.3

For many, the main negative point of this browser is that it is not open source. The ex-CEO of Opera and his team say that this is partly true, since more than 90% yes it is, and they reserve a little that is what makes them special to offer things like the notes, the client mail and the interface in general. But what is evident is that they offer many functions, and with each new release they add more and more. Today, three weeks after earlier version, has arrived Vivaldi 4.3, and one of the novelties that it brings is to leave some things as they were.

Google has recently introduced a downtime detection API that web pages can use to know if we have interacted with the device or specific hardware, such as the keyboard or mouse. Well, Vivaldi 4.3, which uses a version of Chromium that had it activated, has deactivated this API that deprived us of privacy.

Vivaldi 4.3 highlights

  • Improved the screenshot tool. The interface has been improved with new icons that better explain how everything works and a function to resize the selection has been added.
  • Improved the sync section and interface.
  • The download panel has been redesigned.
  • The idle time detection API has been disabled by default.
  • Support for translating 68 more languages, bringing the number up to 108 languages ​​supported by the translation tool.
  • Improvements in mail, calendar and RSS, highlighting that attachments can now be dragged to the post composition window.
  • Support for Progressive Web Apps, which allows us to install web-apps that will appear in our application menu.
  • Complete list of changes to the release note.

Vivaldi 4.3 has been available for a few hours, so it can already be downloaded from its website. Users of systems like Ubuntu, where the repository is added after installing Vivaldi for the first time, already have the new package waiting in the software center. Other operating systems will arrive in the next few hours.
