Hi, version 7 fixed my long time problem with freezing of tabs when I quickly open 10 - 20 links from Google results each to a new tab. But there is new problem on main and snapshot version - periodic high CPU usage in "video_capture.mojom.VideoCaptureService" process. How to disable this process? I kill that process, so CPU goes down, but then in unknown cases it starts using CPU again, so I need to kill it again...

@yngve In Vivaldi 6.9, if I go into a "meeting" - I tested with Whereby - and share the screen, the Video Capture process appears.

But when I exit the meeting and stop sharing, the process is gone after a short while.

In Vivaldi 7.0/7.1 the process sticks around.
I'm guessing these things are related in some way.

In the newest desktop snapshot (v 7.1.3527.3 (Official Build) (64-bit) ), the button does not show up for me. I even edited the toolbar AND reset it afterwards, as both ways do not provide me this button... What can I further try? Thank you!

Hi,

When I watch a youtube video, there's a very small delay between the video and audio. The audio is happening slightly before the video and I can see the lips being out of sync.

@tckosvic
The actual report VB-109766 is marked as resolved/Upstream.
This means it is a bug in Chromium and cant be fixed by the Vivaldi developers.
I fear we cant do anything at moment.
You can try to disable hardware acceleration for some time in Settings > Webpages.
The render engine could crash the tab, maybe a combination of Vivaldi/Chromium and your GPU/driver.

@jrkl75 Good to know for its users. Confirm unpacked extensions don't do automatic updates.

While I dislike Vivaldi for making this opt-out change for long-time users, I also love Vivaldi for maintaining the ability through customization to effectively revert the 7.0 UI update. The cartoon icons and unnecessary whitespace everywhere was confounding and maddening, but Vivaldi is once again as I liked it! Thank you!

@potmeklecbohdan I reset my profile and I found out you were right: some default shortcuts changed and now default shortcuts are ⌘F10 for Toggle UI & F10 / ⌃⌘F for Full Screen.

@vduser
Hi, I checked this with Edge and it does the same, so a Chromium change.
No idea why the Chromium dev's does this, stupid without a setting to disable it.
Maybe the memory saver dose this but I have it disabled.

Cheers, mib

@Michael69 Hi - This is the default Start Page in Vivaldi, with the search field:

69644fc0-52f8-4efd-9f17-9e575e7b169b-image.png

If you don't see this but the Dashboard, make sure you select the "Home" or "Speed Dial". If you don't use the Dashboard at all, it can also be disabled in Settings > Start Page.

For adding the Search Field back on the Address Bar, please read:
https://help.vivaldi.com/desktop/appearance-customization/edit-toolbars/#Customize_toolbars

Basically, just drag the Search Field back to where you want it.

Thanks to @RammsteinAM for the workaround, this was driving me crazy, such a stupid bug. Slowly beginning to lose faith in Vivaldi.
Just to clarify for people looking to use the custom CSS: it has to be first enabled in vivaldi://experiments/ (Allow CSS modifications checkbox), then in Settings/Appearance there is Custom UI modifications section, Select folder with a css file where you paste the code above.

@yaslaw said in start page crash:

on macOS (apple silicon), with the latest Vivaldi 7.0.3495.15 (Stable channel) (arm64) still browser crash when an extension manages the startup page (I tried with Bonjour and Tabliss)

Please report issue to Vivaldi bug tracker, include as much detail as possible.
Once that is done, share the bug number (beginning with VB-) you got by bug report mail.

Thanks for helping us making Vivaldi better.

So excited to see instant sync rolling out! Unfortunately it is for Desktop only. Will there be a release for mobile soon?

Vivaldi 7.0 for Desktop and Mobile has the new Blazin’ Fast Sync. 😎

@JaredGross I think you can rename menu entries in Settings → Appearance → Menu and use Unicode characters at start of text.

Unicode symbol in text of menu
