Vivaldi 8.2 is out with a calculator in the address bar

Vivaldi 8.2 rolled out today (3 September 2026) and lets you do quick and private math calculations directly in the address bar. This may prove useful when you don’t want to open to a new tab or a calculator app. I’ve often narrowed my eyes at an online checkout page after applying a coupon code (don’t judge), muttering “that can’t be right”. A quick number crunch later and, of course, it always is. You can click to copy the the result to your system clipboard, ready to paste elsewhere. Previous versions Vivaldi let you do local calculations from the Quick Commands menu, […]

📰 Malicious .git Configs Can Make Claude, Codex, Cursor, and Other AI Agents Run Attacker Code

Manifold Security has disclosed eight security flaws across seven command-line AI coding agents in which a repository's own Git configuration names a command that the agent runs on the developer's machine, four of them still unpatched at publication.The command executes as the user, outside the agent's sandbox and without an approval prompt, and exploitation requires the repository to arrive.
