@JoaoNunoAndrade Only on new installations, I guess. If it was not included by default when you installed Vivaldi for the first time, the list has not probably not been modified after the upddte.

If you want add it back, create a new search engine with these settings:

MacOS has a feature to protect user input when typing passwords and so on and ideally this should be active only when a password field or similar has the focus. However, I have found out that occasionally, Vivaldi won't release it. Using this command:
ioreg -l -d 1 -w 0 | grep SecureInput
I can see the PID of the process that turned it on and it is Vivaldi.

When secure input is active, other applications listening for keyboard shortcuts or button remapping can't work because the system won't tell them about the pressed keys - be it a dropdown terminal, or Logitech mouse button remapping.

So far I didn't find any way how to replicate this on demand and it is happening just few times a month, but irregularly, so doing experiments with clean browser profile is difficult. I have just two extensions: Bitwarden and TamperMonkey, and living without them for a month when I don't even know if I just had a luck for this issue not happening or if it actually helps is not practical, so I didn't do that yet - I'm still hoping to find a way how to trigger it intentionally.

I saw it happening for quite some time, across many versions of Vivaldi, ever since I upgraded to MacOS Sequoia.

Is there any config option I could try that would disable this feature in Vivaldi?

1. Add this code to your Tab.css
#tabs-container:not(.none).top { padding-right: calc(90px / var(--uiZoomLevel)); }
3. Replace line 70 in Tab.css with these values
.tab-position .tab .favicon { flex-basis: 22px; min-width: 22px !important; min-height: 22px !important;
You will also need to reposition the close button on those tabs. Replace line 7 in your fix.tab.icons.positions.css with this (all I did is increase the top value, that's what you need to change because of the sizing)
.tab .close { transform: scale(1.3); position: inherit; left: 3px; top: -2px; color: #FFFF00 !important; background-color: #FF0000 !important; border-radius: 50% !important; border: solid #0094FF !important; border-width: 2px !important; }
I'm not understanding the issue with menu button. Where do you want it positioned?

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.

@WIXAPOL

I added a panel recently. When I used it, it went up to 2.4 gb ram usage. But it is a music streaming site (not spotify) so didn't tough much of it because of that.

I'll try to see how it behaves as a normal tab.

Q

Thanks for reporting that as a bug!

At some point this was moved from Chromium settings UI to Vivaldi's settings UI. All of my rules appear to have been migrated over with the wildcard intact. I guess this means that suddenly all of my rules are broken, if the wildcard is not implemented in the Vivaldi UI? That seems like a significant oversight...luckily in my case it defaults to deleting cookies rather than saving them....

And I agree, the mix of styles is confusing at best.

As always, thanks to the devs for all their hard work though!

@logixoul
The image shows Vivaldi in windowed view, the arrow shows the 0.0 pixel point on a display.
If you are fine with the comact mode leave it as is, these graphicall glitches get always low priority in the bug tracker.
But of course you can still report it.

@ryanpage I have about 75 search engines, including a SearxNG instance. It uses POST though, but shouldn't matter.

I've never experienced a search engine losing its parameters, although there was a bug a long while back where editing a search engine would lose its values after moving out of the input fields.

If you can find a way to reproduce this starting from a clean profile, that would be a good start of a bug report.

Otherwise, my only suggestion is to try recreating it from scratch.

@mib2berlin That looks like it would disable installing extensions from the Web Store, but when I disabled it I was able to install an extension (I want to be able to install extensions either way, so it is currently working the way I want).

@ampr You could add the command chain as an item on the link context menu.

Edit: That won’t work as Open Link in New Tab has to have a URL as a parameter.

Synced autofill entries - how to manage?

@lukaszj Hi, there is no way to manage autofill entries, in any browser that I know of.

Only thing you can do is delete them all through the Delete Browsing Data dialog.

Unfortunately, deleting autofill will also delete your addresses and credit cards if you have those stored.

This is a major drawback in browsers, they love to store autofill data but there's no way to actually manage it.
