Today, we roll out the first release of 2018 that marks the third
anniversary of our first technical public preview. Since January
2015, we have evolved, and it all can be summed up in one phrase —
we are always improving.
Congratulations to every Vivaldi user ☺
The new additions in version 1.14 respond directly to the needs of
Vivaldi users: vertical reader mode, Markdown support to Notes,
rearrangeable Web Panels and reordering of search engines.

Vertical reader mode
Vivaldi’s Reader View cuts out the clutter and helps you focus on
the part that matters – the content. It lets you increase the
font size, adjust the line height and column width, and switch to
dark or light background for easier reading on the Web.
We continue to innovate in this space and in this release
introduce vertical reader mode, a first for browsers. This unique
functionality came about as a response to needs of users of
Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages. No matter where you live
or what language you read or write, your individual requirements
are vital to us.
A vertical display is one of the default ways to view written text
in East Asian languages. We are confident that if you use any of
these languages, the option to use vertical reader mode will be a
useful addition. Now you can read texts in these languages
comfortably with no distracting page elements. The vertical
orientation is also a great use of your screen’s real estate.
Select your reading preference by heading to Webpages in Settings
and click on vertical text direction to try it out.

Markdown support to Notes
Go native, rely less on add-ons! With this in mind, we have built
many differentiating features over the past three years. One of
our signature features, Notes has been significantly improved.
Notes are useful as you can write them in the left-hand column
while you research the Web, add a screenshot of the site you are
browsing and even capture a selected area of text.
In version 1.14, you can now add formatting to your Notes by using
Markdown. Markdown is an efficient and intuitive way to apply
formattingused by many sites including GitHub, Reddit Stack
Exchange, the Vivaldi forums and many more.
This upgrade to Notes makes the feature even more interesting and
productive. Now, you can quickly and instantly format text by
adding headers, bolding and bulleted lists to your notes while
surfing the web. This way you can organise notes, compose emails,
to-do lists and more. You can use Notes to write longer emails,
novels, and pretty much all other types of text documents. In
addition to Markdown formatting, you can also use this option to
preview simple HTML.

Rearrangeable Web Panels
Vivaldi’s Web Panels have been a favourite for many users and
have been much appreciated from the very beginning. And we are
always on a lookout for ways to improve this nifty, time-saving
tool which lets you quickly browse social media or news sites
without switching tabs. You can even set custom widths per site in
the sidebar so that the size of your sidebar adjusts depending on
the panel being viewed.
In Vivaldi 1.14, you have now the ability to customize the order
of the Web Panels in the sidebar of your browser. This way you can
choose your web pages on the fly to make your browsing more
interactive and convenient.

Reorder Search Engines
Vivaldi gives you multiple options for searching the web such as
the ability to add your preferred search engines or select from an
array of default alternatives like privacy-friendly DuckDuckGo or
eco-conscious Ecosia. Or, use nicknames to quickly search using a
chosen engine without any fuss (e.g. preceding your search term
with “w ” to search wikipedia).
One of the most-requested functionalities makes its way into the
latest version care of your feedback. You can now change the order
of your search engines, adding more flexibility to your setup.
With the new list layout, you can drag-n-drop (or use the
keyboard) to put search engines in the order you want, with ease.

We are excited about 2018 and what this year will bring. We are
continually evolving, and this is not the end of our evolution in
progressive and modern browsing. We have a clear vision that will
carry through 2018. We will keep finding ways to refine and
improve Vivaldi and add new features. And, this is what keeps us
busy all the time.
Speaking of new features, today we are introducing a new way to
request features in Vivaldi browser. We’ve created a Feature
Request category on the forum which should make things easier in
at least a couple of ways. First, you won’t have to transfer
feature requests between releases (post once and see those upvotes
go up!) and, second, you’ll now be able to discuss the requested
features – something you’ve wanted for a while. Take a look at
the Help page about this, it’s a step-by-step guide on how to
post feature requests.
As always, keep sending us your feedback. Enjoy version 1.14 and
let us know what you think.
