Vivaldi 2.2: Open Navigation Button History Entry in New Tab

The team behind the most innovative Vivaldi browser released a new snapshot of the upcoming version of the app. Vivaldi 2.2.1350.4 allows opening a new tab by middle-clicking on an entry from the back/forward button drop-down menu.

Vivaldi was started with the promise of giving you a highly customizable, full-featured, innovative browser. It looks like its developers kept their promise - there is no other browser on the market which offers the same amount of options and features. While Vivaldi is built on Chrome's engine, power users are the target user base, like the classic Opera 12 browser. Vivaldi was created by former Opera co-founder and developed keeping in mind Opera's usability and power.

Many user interface elements and options of Vivaldi will be familiar to Opera 12 users.

Vivaldi 2.2.1350.4

To open a history entry in a new tab, do the following.

1. Long-click (click and hold the left mouse button) on the Back or Forward button on the toolbar.
2. Middle-click on the desired entry in the history drop-down menu.
3. The entry will open in a new tab.
