How should the updates of this browser be so that the advertisement of Vivaldi 5.0 I know little by little. And it is that today, this browser created for demanding users has reached the fifth major version, and taking into account that in the 4.0 calendar, mail and RSS feeds options were added, which the note of this release start off talking about topics doesn't seem like a big deal. More important seem the changes related to the panels.
But let's go in order. Vivaldi 5.0 highlights first of all the new customization options, more specifically those related to the topics. Now they are more customizable, and they can also be shared. Thus, if we create something interesting, anyone can use it, or if we do not find anything that we like among what the browser brings by default, we can always find something that a person has created whose tastes are similar to ours (here).
Vivaldi 5.0 highlights
In addition to new theme options, Vivaldi 5.0 will introduce a new translation panel with machine translations, and this is perhaps the main reason why this release does not taste as good to me as some previous ones. Vivaldi entrusts his translations to Lingvanex, which makes them more private, but they are not as good as DeepL's. I already have the DeepL direct access in a panel, so things will change little for me, although it is clear that the integration of the native translator is better.
Also related to panels, Vivaldi 5.0 introduces a new way to view downloads. Until now, to see the downloads we had to access the panel, but in the fifth version of the browser we can also see them in an icon that appears at the top right, as in Firefox. It was something that the community was asking for and Vivaldi has responded.
Vivaldi 5.0 It is now available for all supported systems from your official website. Linux distributions that add the official repository after installing the package already have the new version waiting in the software center.
