Vivaldi 1.2 Browser now available
Vivaldi 1.2 is the latest stable version of the popular web browser that brings along with it editable gestures, clearer download progress, more tab improvements and a truckload of fixes and minor improvements.
Vivaldi has quickly risen to popularity thanks to a development philosophy that focuses on giving users choice when it comes to the browser instead of streamlining it by removing choice or not giving users choice in first place.

But even for applications that I use, I find live tiles to be a hindrance if not an annoyance rather than something that is beneficial.
I can see them work well on mobile devices but not so much on the desktop.
