Vivaldi has launched the “world’s first web browser that controls lights”, according to the company<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

“It also includes various enhancements such as drag tabs and tab stacks between windows, reader mode button, delta updates, and improved note taking abilities,” said\u00a0Vivaldi.<\/p>\n

Version\u00a01.5 of the browser lets users control the colour of smarthome lighting through browsing, thanks to integration with\u00a0Hue colour lights from Philips.<\/p>\n

“After enabling Hue in Vivaldi Theme Settings, a tap on the Philips Hue Bridge confirms the connection. Selecting which lights Vivaldi should control, the browser will synchronize your physical surroundings with the colour of the web.”<\/p>\n

Vivaldi also\u00a0offers delta updates for Windows versions, which means “only the changes from release to release are downloaded, rather than the entire binary”.<\/p>\n
