How does the tab cloning feature work in Vivaldi?

The tab cloning feature in Vivaldi is a powerful tool for working with web pages, allowing you to instantly create an exact copy of the active tab with its entire session history. This is especially useful when you want to continue filling out a form or reading an article on the same site but from a different point, or when you are about to test changes on a page without the risk of losing the original data.

To clone a tab, you can use several simple methods depending on your preferences.

The cloned tab preserves not only the URL of the current page, but also the entire forward and back navigation history, as well as data entered into form fields, provided they haven't been blocked by the site's security policies. This saves you from having to re-enter logins, passwords, or filter settings on the same resource, significantly saving working time when solving everyday tasks.

Additionally, the feature integrates well with tab stacks, allowing you to quickly group duplicates for comparative analysis of information. For example, you can open the same site in two different tabs next to each other, clone the page, and in one version change the display or scaling parameters while keeping the second version unchanged to control the results.
