Vivaldi 2.7: Status Bar Loading Info (Snapshot 1594.4)

The first developer snapshot of the upcoming Vivaldi version 2.7 features a user interface change. The status bar of the browser now includes a special section to show the site loading information.

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.

Status bar loading info

If it takes long to load a web site, Vivaldi will now displays the detailed status information at the bottom of the window. In the status bar the browser will show the following messages: “Processing request”, “Waiting for”, “Connecting”, Establishing secure connection”, depending on the connection status.
