Vivaldi Follower Tabs are Awesome

March 19, 2026

Vivaldi released a new feature called Follower Tab: https://vivaldi.com/blog/vivaldi-on-desktop-7-9/. It’s a feature I didn’t realize I needed, but I immediately see the value. It is very useful when you have a page filled with links and want to click on each one or at least several of them. A great example is the Hacker Newsletter:

There are a few other use cases I have in mind:

  • Opening DuckDuckGo results when doing research.
  • Opening links from Gmail while going through my email.
  • Quickly working my way through GitHub notifications.
