Learn +more here. +Vivaldi is **a popular Chromium-based cross-platform web browser** that focuses on providing some impressive multitasking features. + +It is considered to be one of the [best web browsers for Linux][1] (even if it not entirely open source). + +With the **new Vivaldi 6.2 release** , they have promised some massive gains in performance, and memory usage. Let's see what it's all about. + +## 🆕 Vivaldi 6.2: What's New? + +![][2] + +Over the years, **many users reported** to Vivaldi that the **opening of new windows was not fast enough**. The developers took note of that, and started working on a viable solution, that was years in the making. + +But, this release is not just about that, we will be focusing on the performance part first, then the rest. + +**Suggested Read** 📖 + +![][3] + +### Massive Performance Gains + +![][4] + +Vivaldi has claimed that with the **implementation of a new windowing system** , it has resulted in **37% improvement in the opening of new windows** , compared to older versions of the web browser. + +When **compared to an even older 2018 version of Vivaldi** , they found that the newer release was **almost 64% faster** in handling windows. + +**So, how was this made possible?** + +Well, they implemented ' **Portal Windows** ' that has been derived from the popular JavaScript Framework, '[React][5]'. + +As Vivaldi's **codebase has** **been using React since 2013** for its user interface, they had to take on a multi-layered project to make this possible. + +This has **allowed Vivaldi to handle multiple windows with reduced memory and CPU usage** , which was quite challenging before. + +Navigating across tabs in different windows has also been made effortless, with even Pop-up windows benefiting from the implementation of Portal Windows. + +And, this is a significant improvement for a feature-rich browser like Vivaldi. You get loads of features and a fast user experience, the best of both worlds. + +On this, Vivaldi's CEO, Jon von Tetzchner had this to add: + +> The Portal project represents a monumental undertaking, and we are immensely proud of what we have achieved. Looking ahead, the Portal work opens up many possibilities and flexibility. +> +> We hope both existing and new users will appreciate the difference brought about by introducing Portal. + +**Other than that, Vivaldi 6.2 features a few interesting improvements.** + +### Improved Address Field Suggestions + +![][6] + +Address Field suggestions can now be tweaked for specific needs. You can now head over to the Address Bar settings, and choose to hide categories, or select their priority. + +This includes bookmarks, typed history, browser history, autocomplete results, and more. + +### Enhanced Built-in Mail Client + +![][7] + +The mail client in Vivaldi now has **new Mail Filters** that allow for easy differentiating of similar-looking icons across the client. + +You can head over to: **Settings → Mail Settings → Filter View Buttons** , for customizing the Mail filters. + +Then there's the **support for FastMail OAuth login methods**. You can now easily log in to [Fastmail][8] accounts using Vivaldi via the OAuth login method, doing away with the need for app-specific passwords. + +### Clear Browsing Data Tool + +![][9] + +A **new handy button** has been added to the History panel that allows for quick purging of the recent, or entire browsing history and data. + +A simple click on the 'broomstick' logo will clear everything up. + +You may go through the [official release notes][10] to know more about this release. + +## 📥 Get Vivaldi 6.2 + +Head over to the [official website][11] to get started with Vivaldi 6.2 for **Linux** , **Windows** , and **macOS**. + +[Vivaldi 6.2][11] + +_💬 What do you think of this release?
