If we repeated the release of Vivaldi 5.5 for PC a week ago, now it is the turn of Vivaldi for Android because yes, the web browser for ‘demanding users’ also brings some interesting news in its mobile version, and one in particular has a small one, even if we leave it for the end.

For starters, let’s say that this new version of Vivaldi for Android launches a startup wizard similar to the one that exists on the PC, which will help pave the way for any new user to receive a browser full of options that can overwhelm a newcomer. That’s why they call it an “advanced user” app, even though they’ve been doing everything to make Vivaldi easy for everyone to use for a while now.

With this feature, for example, a startup wizard is on hand to guide the user through various steps basic browser settings. An assistant that can be ignored in the first step, but will be attended by everyone who catches it again, because it is fast and simple. Specifically, the wizard will facilitate the configuration of bookmark position and style, visual theme or ad blocker.

This new launch wizard basically simplifies the initial setup of Vivaldi for Android, which is nice because it barely takes a minute and saves you going into the app’s settings, where there are tons of customization options.

The second novelty of Vivaldi for Android, and this is perhaps a feature that should be copied by all browsers on the market due to its convenience, is automate closing tabs in the backgroundalong with open apps that aren’t being used, one of the banes of any current phone’s performance in the hands of those who don’t understand and pay proper attention.

It’s true that Android tends to manage memory well in this aspect these days – i.e. open apps that aren’t in use – and the same happens with most browsers, but extra help like this new version of Android never hurts . Vivaldi for Android, thanks to which you can configure automatic closing of bookmarks based on the time since they were last accessed.

As you can see (although it’s in English, it’s understandable, right?), depending on your preferences, you can choose to close the background tabs in a week, a month, three months or never. By default, this is set after three months, so keep that in mind if you’re using Vivaldi and don’t want to use this option (it’s also worth remembering that bookmarks exist for a reason).

However, this option is more interesting for those who do not have much idea about these issues than for those who do, so even with the user profile that Vivaldi points to, well configured it can be a suitable alternative and even recommended for none. In fact, it is much more than using Chrome, we are talking only for convenience and without leaving the Android mobile sphere.
