Quote:Vivaldi Technologies has released Vivaldi 7.5 today. The update for the highly customizable Chromium-based browser adds even more customization options to it plus nice-to-have features on top of that.

Most Vivaldi installations should receive the update automatically. Select Vivaldi Menu > Check for Updates to install it right away, if that has not happened already.
