Vivaldi Snapshot 1.8.770.9 appears to be a “historic” because it rewrites the history feature of the Chromium-based web browser, but also addresses approximately 40 bugs that have been reported by users since the previous snapshot or even from the current Vivaldi 1.7 stable release. It also upgrades the Chromium backend to version 57.0.2987. Vivaldi Snapshot 1.8.770.9 also implements a new button to allow users of the powerful web browser to go back to the current, day, week or month with a single click. Continuing, there are now a lot of graphical clues displayed about your browsing habits, including a graph that lets you view your browsing activity over a specific period, a list of the top domains you visited, and much more.
