The enthusiast’s web browser just received a ton of new features

There was a time when Opera was quite possibly the best web browser out there, better even than Chrome or Firefox. That time has long since passed, but the former CEO of Opera has decided to give it another shot with a new browser called Vivaldi. We talked about this power user-centric browser when it first came out, but it has come a long way since then and is far more polished than it was during its initial release. 

Vivaldi, the browser project headed by former Opera CEO Jon von Tetzchner, continues on its march toward its 1.0 release. Today, the company is launching its third technical preview since the browser launched in January. The browser, which is aimed at power users, has come a long way since its first release. Over the last few months, the team has added many features that were missing in the first release and added quite a bit of polish to the browser. With today’s release, the team is launching a couple of new features that will make it an even more interesting choice for those of us who spent most of our days in the browser. Technical Preview 3 introduces Tab Stack Tiling, for example. That name obscures how useful a feature this is. When you’re using a very large screen, Vivaldi now allows you to organize your tabs in multiple columns, rows or a grid. The team says this should be especially useful for “comparison shopping, easy information tracking and generally doing more browsing in less time.” Who doesn’t want to browse more in less time?
