Vivaldi Technologies today released the Chromium-based, Vivaldi 2.2, innovating in the operation of browsers.
Although the previous version, 2.1, we were just a year and a half months ago bringing support for the AV1 video codec and a smarter fast-order feature, today's Vivaldi 2.2 has even more goodies. Surely you should try it, since 2.2 will see new techniques such as Picture-in-Picture (PiP), more customizable toolbars, and smarter tab management.
What's new in Vivaldi 2.2
Following in the steps of the Google Chrome browser, Vivaldi 2.2 introduces Picture-in-Picture (PiP) support, allowing users to watch HTML5 videos in an extra window while doing something else on their personal computers. Picture-in-Picture can be enabled by right-clicking a video or double-clicking on specific video hosting sites, such as YouTube.

You can also travel back to your browsing history by clicking on the address bar and searching the web directly from the Home
Last but not least, Vivaldi 2.2 customizes the toolbar, allowing users to remove it by removing any buttons they do not use via a new Customization menu option. Right-click on the corresponding buttons to see the new feature.
