Dubbed as Vivaldi Snapshot 1.6.689.32, the second RC of Vivaldi 1.6 has been released on December 13, 2016, just one day after the first Release Candidate version, which rebased the web browser on the open-source Chromium 55.0.2883.92 project and resolved a major regression for macOS users in regards with swiping through history. While Vivaldi 1.6 RC1 also improved the generation of thumbnails for redirects and dynamically generated web pages, and added support for disabling the “Hide the mousecursor” setting, it looks like Vivaldi 1.6 RC2 is here to address that nasty issue some Linux and macOS users reported with missing passwords due to incorrect key storage usage.
