Vivaldi 2.7.1628.30

What's new in this version:

Cut the noise with Mute Tab:
- In this upgrade, we’ve upped the ante to tackle the incredibly annoying auto-playing audio and video. We’ve added a new option that allows you to mute a website which is currently silent – one of the most requested features from our community
- With this new option, you don’t have to worry that websites will interrupt your general browsing experience. Simply right click on a tab and select “Mute Tab” to prevent the website from playing the audio in advance
- “Mute Tab” is an addition to our already solid settings that control sound behaviour in Vivaldi. Find these under audio settings in Settings → Tabs → Tab Features → Tab Muting
- The default option – “Play All Audio” – allows audio to play from all tabs at all times. Disable if you want to avoid unwanted noise
- “Play Only In Active Tab” automatically mutes all background tabs
- “Prioritize Active Tab” ensures that when your active tab has audio, background tabs with audio will stay muted
- Additionally, you can “Mute other Tabs” which means that by right clicking any background tab in the Tabs Bar or Window Panel, all other tabs will be muted but the current tab
- Another way to manage sound is through Quick Commands (F2 / ⌘+E and type “mute”, then select the option you want via the arrow keys) or assign custom keyboard shortcuts

Access User Profiles quicker:
- Working faster can give you a competitive edge and being able to access your profile quickly helps with that. So, we’ve improved one of our much-loved features – User Profiles
- You can now create a desktop shortcut to a specific User Profile. Available on Windows, this shortcut will give you quick access to your profile and ensure that you are always in the right account
- You’ll find a new context menu entry in the user profile menu under the “Add Person/Edit Person” button

A Flash for Flash:
- Even though Flash technology is being phased out, there are many sites that still use Flash and many users that still love it! We’ve added a new option for the Flash player plugin. This way many of you can access these sites – another addition in our plethora of options to browse with complete ease
- You can enable this plug-in under Settings → Webpages → Plugins

Informative Status Bar:
- Heavy pages can take time to load resulting in a long wait. Now we keep you informed while you wait, with helpful information about the loading page in the Status Bar at the bottom of the window
- You will be notified of the current status, for example: “Processing request”, “Waiting for”, “Connecting”, “Establishing secure connection”
