Vivaldi has released version 1.3 of the browser, with the addition of customizable themes and mouse gestures, the ability to disable WebRTC or just hide your IP address, and several fixes for the Linux platform.

The Vivaldi browser is keen on using mouse gestures, which are also user configurable. The new version supports more than 90 browser actions that are "either mapped to mouse gestures by default, or can be mapped to mouse gestures by you."

In addition:

Vivaldi [have] optimized the browser for Linux users by addressing Linux-specific issues. This includes a fix for Tab Hibernation -- works now -- and support for "some" proprietary media embedded in HTML5 content.

[Provided s]upport H.264, AAC and MP3 on OpenSUSE and Slackware if suitable libraries are available: Use libs from chromium-ffmpeg and AlienBob's Chromium packageSupport

You can find the full changelog here.

Have you replaced your browser with the new upstart Vivaldi? If so, what have your experiences been with the Vivaldi browser? Is it worth the current hype or is just another browser?
