Periodic Tab Reload is a feature that will come in handy, especially during flash sales of products where keeping the page updated will give you an edge over other potential customers.

As the name suggests, thefeature will automatically refresh the pagewhen you switch to a tab. You have the option to set how often the page should reload. You can enable the feature by right-clicking on a tab, followed by choosing the periodic reload option. The countdown until the next reload will appear below the page’s title.

The update also adds the option to let users capture screenshots to a new note, custom avatars for non-synced profiles, and improved Speed Dial folders and tiling commands.

Vivaldi is also updating its Android app. The key change with the update is in terms of the layout of the Speed dial. Thetabs in Speed dial now show favicons of the pagealong with the title. You can also choose to view a large speed dial, a smaller one, or a list view. The preferred layout can be changed from Settings -> Start page.
