Vivaldi is launching version 3.6 of the Vivaldi browser with great and terrible power today: you can now create stacks of two-level guides, so that the grouped guides can become pseudo-workspaces for everything you do in your browser . Vivaldi introduced the feature as an experiment for the first time in December 2020, but now you can officially enter two levels with many guides.
Creating guides stacked on two levels is as easy as holding down the Command or Windows key, selecting any guides you want to be in the stack, then right-clicking and selecting “New tab stack” from the drop-down menu. You can also achieve the same effect by dragging and holding one guide over the other. Clicking on the newly formed guide stack (represented by a white outline) reveals the second guide row nested inside. Tab stacks can also be renamed and closed at once in the right-click drop-down menu.

With the stack of two-level tabs, each grouping can function as a visually distinctive workspace for as many browser-based projects as you can have at once. It can be a way to isolate the tabs that distract in your window, while keeping the tabs organized and preventing you from missing a page when you really need it. Or it may just be another way to accumulate even more guides.
Vivaldi also allows you to place tabs on the sides and bottom of the browser window, and the new two-level tab feature also works on these guidelines.
Vivaldi’s Chromium-based browser has been targeted at advanced users since its inception. It is highly customizable, full of features and apparently very good when it comes to privacy. The browser even launched with grouping of tabs in 2016, something that Google Chrome did not start launching until 2020. And if you like tree-style tabs, which can “branch out” and nest in other tabs, Vivaldi also have.
