As you may know, Vivaldi is a Chromium-based open-source internet browser, built by the Opera founder. It did not reach a stable version yet, but it is already usable.
The latest version available is Vivaldi Snapshot 1.0.403.15, which adds a feature that permits the users to save the opened tabs as a named session, for a later use.
Also, the changelog is rather big. For more information, read the official announcement.
Installation instructions:
The Vivaldi website provides both deb and rpm packages of the latest versions of Vivaldi, so installing the browser should not be difficult. Just download the deb/rpm package matching your system’s architecture (i386/i686 for 32 bit systems and amd64/x86_64 for 64 bit systems) and install the package via the default package manager (dpkg or rpm):

And if you’re on Antergos or Arch, you can simply use Yaourt to install Vivaldi 🙂
The exact terminal command is:
yaourt -S vivaldi-snapshot
And that’ll automatically install the latest Vivaldi snapshot. Running yaourt -Syua will keep Yaourt packages up-to-date so if there’s a new Vivaldi snapshot, Yaourt will upgrade that 🙂

If I’m not mistaken, it’s not open-source (it uses plenty of open-source components though, like chromium)
