      1 - Vivaldi Web Browser Gains Yet More New Features

      Vivaldi Technologies is continuing to add new features to its Vivaldi web browser as it aims to differentiate it from other web browsers. Since Vivaldi hit its 1.0 milestone in April 2016, the company has been steadily improving it with regular updates. The most recent update is Vivaldi 1.8.7, which was released on April 4. The big new feature in the 1.8 branch is an enhanced history view for web browsing. The Vivaldi 1.7 update that debuted in February introduced a new built-in screenshot capability. With the Vivaldi 1.6 update in December 2016, a new tab notification feature debuted. Perhaps the most interesting capability in Vivaldi debuted with the 1.5 update that came in November 2016, providing integration with the Philips Hue smart light bulbs.
