Install Vivaldi web browser in Ubuntu. Vivaldi 1.11 has been released with improved accessibility features – advanced Reader Mode, an ability to easily turn off GIF animations and more control over Mouse Gestures. We have also rolled out a new application icon to freshen up the browser’s look.
Prominent new features:
