This release introduces the heavily requested ability to forego the tab bar in favor of the Window panel. When you disable the tab bar, the panel will be automatically positioned in its place inside the Pillar.

v1.4.0 also introduces several other changes to make Vivaldi VH more flexible. Most notably, you can now set the title bar to span the entire window width, ensuring that the window buttons are always where you expect them to be.

This version also marks the first release of a second edition of Vivaldi VH: The VivalArc Edition! This is a slightly modified edition of Vivaldi VH that is designed to be used in combination with VivalArc, a CSS modification by tovi for Vivaldi Browser that aims to mimic the aesthetics of Arc Browser.

This release changes some default behaviors of Vivaldi VH, enables resizing of the search field and fixes a lot of bugs, some of which have been longstanding.

The biggest change in v1.3.0 is that the panel is no longer incorporated into the Pillar by default, in order to harmonize better with default settings on a new browser profile. Rest assured that this can be reverted using a newly added Command Chain Flag. More information on why this change was made can be found in the full changelog.
