  Has anyone made a updated list of all the thumbnails, or does a packet exist? The autor last changed his Thumbnails List in 2017, and has since never added new thumbnails.

  @pafflick Yes I saw your comment about the snapshot, but I wanted to try it anyway This message is not so important, maybe I will just deactivate automatic updates check and do the checks manually from time to time, so that the message would not appear. Thanks for the link, I'll check it out and go with the changes when I'll have time and, offcourse, patience.

  @stardepp The checkbox in Settings, Webpages, Use Tab Zoom (Retain zoom level when navigating between websites) controls this behaviour. If it is Enabled then you get the behaviour that you describe. If it is Disabled then each website remembers its zoom level. I prefer this option. For example, the Serif Forums fit my 1200x1600 pixel monitor @ 110% webpage zoom, but my default is 120%. By disabling this option, each website can be set to suit the view-port or the font sizes on that site.

  Vivaldi is always good for surprises, of course only positive ones. Vivaldi's enormous diversity continues to excite me day after day.

  @LonM Oh ok. I think the heuristic thingy is pretty new, recently some people complaining about the auto discard being too aggressive . And most advise from Internet is disabled the function completely, or enabled with heuristics disabled. I guess I better disabled it while waiting for it to "graduate" from kindergarten. LOL

  Great and thorough guide, well done! Even though it might not always give the perfect results, I often combine Google autocomplete with other searches where no autocomplete is available. Sometimes I try to add new autocomplete URLs by looking at Developer Tools but if the results don't confirm to the standard specs for browser autocomplete it won't work. Here are some I use regularly: All Music Guide, amg - music database https://www.allmusic.com/search/all/%s Discogs, di - music database https://www.discogs.com/search/?q=%s&type=all Bandcamp, b - music shop for independent artists https://bandcamp.com/search?q=%s Vimeo, v - video site for quality content https://vimeo.com/search?q=%s IMDB, i - movie database https://www.imdb.com/find?q=%s Gmail search, m https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/?subset=all#search/%s Gmail compose to, cm https://mail.google.com/?view=cm&to=%s Google Maps. gm https://maps.google.com/maps?q=%s Google "I feel lucky", gl - go automatically to first result https://www.google.com/search?q=%s&btnI=1 Google Translate, tr https://translate.google.com/#auto|auto|%s Internet Archive Wayback Machine, ar http://web.archive.org/web/%s Urban Dictionary, u - slang dictionary https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=%s Wolfram Alpha, wa - calculation engine http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=%s If anyone's got working autocomplete for any of these I'd appreciate it, as most of them have non-standard implementations.

  After typing part of an address in the URL field, click on the Vivaldi icon that appears to go to that address.

  @Gwen-Dragon I think this was supposed to be part of the linked thread, but the forum did the silly thing and prompted the user to create a new topic as the original thread is old.
