Same applies to their phones! I don't think they realize how many tabs they have open there either.ĭon't get me started on desktops. I don't think many people have heard of bookmarks/folders lol.Ī lot of problems users have are the result of Chrome using all their resources because of the HUNDREDS (no joke) of tabs they have open. People don't want to close tabs for fear of losing stuff they want to read later.

I have seen users who have 5 Chrome windows with each window having a minimum of 50 tabs each. I work in education and there are MANY people with MANY tabs open in MULTIPLE windows! But if people are happy with the feature, then congrats to them. I can see it being more useful on a mobile browser. I understand that not everyone works like I do, but I would think that if you have two rows that are filled beyond what your screen can show, you can't possibly remember all the tabs that are open, and the effectiveness of tabs gets lost. I think the most I ever have is MAYBE three or four. How many tabs do people have open at once that would require multiple rows of scrolling tabs? Seriously. Vivaldi browser 5.1 is a free download for Mac available directly from the Vivaldi website, featuring built-in tracking protection, tab tools, a translation feature, Chrome extensions support, and much more.

In addition to Scrollable Tabs, this version of the browser also brings a new built-in Reading List, a new repository for offline reading that maintains each article's read/unread state, with no service signup required.Įlsewhere, Vivaldi has also added a Quick Settings Panel on the Start Page, enabling quicker access to the full gamut of customizable Start Page options, including things like background images, favorites, speed dials, and search field settings. The Horizontal Scrolling feature can also be combined with Vivaldi's existing Two-level Tab Stacks option, enabling users to scroll two rows of grouped tabs and take advantage of tab group previews for exhaustive tab management. Another way to view tabs is to long-click the arrows to get a full list of all open tabs. Tabs are navigated horizontally by click-dragging with the cursor, or using the arrows on the left and right of the tabs.
