Vivaldi, a company developing a browser of the same name, announced the launch of a two-tier group of tabs in its program. The same feature appeared in the Vivaldi 3.6 browser.
Initially, in the Vivaldi browser, developers implemented the tab grouping function – this is the ability of the Groups tab and manage them at the group level. The new feature adds the second level of the tab bar, which is for managing tabs in a group.
As noted by the developers, some users have difficulty organizing and managing tabs. A new facility is intended to solve this problem. It is noted that grouping of tabs, multiple tabs in one window, vertical tabs, automatic merging tabs makes it easy to view, manage and navigate in the browser.
In the original Vivaldi implementation, a group of tabs takes up no more space than a single tab. By clicking on the tabbed stack, you can expand and display the contents of the group with a full-size tab in a new row. Users can manage tab groups just like any other tab, using the same methods to open, close, activate, move, or select.
Various methods are available to organize your stack of tabs. They can be pulled, hibernated, muted, or renamed. According to the developers, tabs are available immediately, without the need to continuously switch windows, profiles, or workspaces.
The new, second level makes it easier to reorganize the stack or create new tabs in the stack. For example, the “+” button on a new line helps you create tabs in a group. In addition, switching between tabs can lock a two-level stack of tabs to avoid changing page view height and make it easier to create new stacks on any one tab. For lovers of customization, personalization options are available – from rounding the tab corners to the top, bottom, or sides of the tab. There are also several options for navigating between tabs: preset keyboard shortcuts, custom keyboard shortcuts, or editable mouse gestures.
The new feature is enabled by default. You can switch between a compact and two-tiered group of tabs in the “Tabs” section in the browser settings.
