Vivaldi 1.14

What’s new:

The new version of Vivaldi brings vertical reader mode for Chinese, Japanese and Korean languages.

Vertical display is one of the default ways to view written text in East Asian Languages. Users from Korea, China and Japan will find this useful. The feature not only removes clutter from web page but also saves space which you can make most of on modern devices for reading.

You’ll find option for vertical reader mode in Vivaldi Web Pages Settings under Reader View.

Enabling the ‘Allow Vertical Text Direction’ option activates ‘Vertical Text’ control in Reader View Settings, which you need to click on to use the feature.
