@CtrlPig said in Vivaldi 7.2: Speedy and smart, a serious update.:

Please restore the "Drop-down menu priority" setting. I need to downgrade from version 7.3 to 7.1 to continue using this feature because the address bar's drop-down suggestions aren't intelligent enough. They consistently prioritize bookmark addresses that I rarely access over those I use daily.

Uncheck "Prioritize Bookmarks" in Addressbar settings and it should then be much more intelligent about what it prioritizes

Recently had to reinstall Windows due to a critical failure last Saturday and I've been having issues with the mail client since installing Vivaldi on the new Windows install. It partially fetches my messages, then gets stuck on "Running mail filters...". I'm not sure what to do beyond just outright copying my profile from my other computer over to this one.

If the tips mentioned some posts above for basic troubleshooting: https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/735875 also don't work for you, I'm unfortunately out of more ideas.

@RSJarvis You could probably have solved this quickly with the right-click menu:

I have no idea why your Back button would've disappeared in the first place though.

I have no idea how many people actually use the default shortcut/hotkeys [Command] + [Shift] + [v] (in macOS) for "paste and go", instead of simply selecting a text, right-click and select "Search" which is easier because you don't need to move your fingers to the keyboard and move the fingers back to the mouse/trackpad.

I clear this shortcut every time I install Vivaldi, or the shortcut sometimes causes a trouble when I'm pasting a copied text in plain format on Google Docs.

@CKempener thanks for your reply 🙂
I think I've fixed all problems with the code. You have to update the code from this mod and also the one from the Ribbon theme mod.

The sharp corners on the top right are intended to fit better into the look of the browser.

If you're not using floating panels you get round corners (which I've to adjust a bit).
434cc533-4438-4380-a5a7-c9291f001c0c-image.png

If you would like to have round corners on the right side, I could provide a setting to enable this.

Update:
Bug fixes; especially when used with the Ribbon theme mod.

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.

Vivaldi has greatly improved performance related to History, in the last year. I used to have some lag issues, but not in a long time.

There could be something specific to your setup that is causing an issue.

I've been using Vivaldi since the first tech preview. I've never deleted my history. My history file is 1.4GB. The browser performs just fine.

Even when I view my history, the browser seems to work in the background to start populating the history data. While I can tell there is extra CPU usage working in the background, the browser is still responsive.

@OrbitalMartian It's probably an issue with the standard context menus in Windows (no idea about Linux) - RMB also works for selecting an option, which might lead to accidents if double-RMB clicking.

Then again, it's standard behaviour in Windows, and all browser do the same.

The only point of the OP's list missing from Vivaldi is #2 for browser-specific Proxy settings. All Chromium browsers use the system proxy settings, and there's very little chance Vivaldi will ever implement its own settings for this before it becomes available in Chromium base.

@easyme I have a similar problem. Thousands of bookmarks acquired over years (decades!) that show date created as today's date.

Vivaldi's bookmark system is a mess.

I am on Vivaldi 7.3 and I noticed this issue as well. On each of my devices there is a nameless device, but another on each device. So there is not one issue with one of the devices, rather there is an issue with each Vivaldi instance now showing (for whatever reason) one of the names of the others.

@hommealone
As I mentioned above you cant use session.json anymore to get old sessions back, at least my mini knowledge about JSON tell me.
To get the session icon right click on any panel icon and choose Customize Toolbar ...
The Toolbar Editor appear and you can drag the session icon to the panel.

@RasheedHolland I updated the bug tracker for 7.3 and 7.4, i can no do more.

OK thanks, it's weird that they didn't fix it, because they said they would many months ago.

@DoctorG Yes, most probably only a dev knows the answer to that, or someone who has the time to inspect the C++ code it is written in. If it does not, then it deserves a Feature Request (because who needs bloat, right?).

OK, I'm pinging @julien_picalausa 👋😉

@zeeth said in Can't add a new domain to Website Permission settings:

Click on the "+".
Type the website in the field.
Click Add domain.
Right below the "+" and "-" there is a text field that says "Filter by domain".
Type the website you just added into this field, and then the website will appear in the left-hand pane, and then you can set permissions for that website.

Yes, that works. 🏅
