@janrif The answer, as posted above, is that he does not use calendars at all.

@vivb, there is no best browser, it always depends on the needs of each user.
For example, for a student Vivaldi may be the best option due to the large number of functions that help him in his studies, for another who only uses a browser to check email and chat on a social network, they may want a more basic browser.

For me Vivaldi is the best not only because of his huge amount of features, but also because of is ethics, transparency and it is the only U browser capable to stay at eye-level to the big US companies, apart of the gret community it has.

The results for this week's poll are in! 🥳

Glad to see 63% have customized their Speed Dial page to their liking: we want you to browse your way!

The rest of the votes are divided between 27% who don't use this feature, and 10% who didn't know it was possible to customize it (but might do it now?! 😁 )

Thanks for your participation!

Just to note (pun intended) that there is an open standard regarding notes. Vivaldi already supports tasks and events from the iCalendar RFC, "all that's missing" is supporting the vjournal component of that open standard instead of an internal note system.

@DoctorG I thought you were talking about these dudes:
The Reatards - I'm So Gone

Reading through various forums and articles, it's clear that there is a strong demand for a browser that supports robust ad-blocking and scripting capabilities. While the future may be uncertain regarding which browser will ultimately fulfill these needs, the existence of such demand gives me confidence that a solution will emerge. With this optimism, I’ve decided to keep the metaphorical cord uncut, keep browsing, and continue supporting our current browser choice for the foreseeable future.

@mt8482 @marialeal : which allow one to navigate different bookmark folders in different tabs at the same time - this should be possible to achieve/emulate using Speed dial if a few changes are implemented (see https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/782119)

@ingolftopf begged me like hell to post a link to jitsymeet on this specific page, which he could have done by himself.🤷🏻♂: Inofficial-Vivaldiambassadorjitsymeet-Room.

@marialeal said in Friday poll: themes:

So I guess my -anonymous- colleague was wrong when he said that the reading list's first use case is to curate reading material "to check later on your phone during bathroom breaks and commutes". 😜

In our community, most people use it on desktop (42%) or don't use it (29%) with some using it on both platforms thanks to Sync (22%), and only 7% using it on their phones.

If you're willing to use it more, we recently added a video about it on our Vivaldi 101 video series, go check it out!

I don't have a favourite, but I frequently use Startpage, Ecosia and DuckDuckGo.

The reason is probably that web panels behave like real tabs since the update to Vivaldi 6.6.

@erbanales, the sense of OpenSource is that devs can fork it or collaborate in a new product. Because of this all current browser engines are opensource, Gecko it's fork Goanna, Blink and the Fork Qt, WebKit and the grandfather of Blink and WebKit, KHtml, still used by KDE in it's Konqueror browser.

Gecko is only used by Firefox and forks, which is a minority in the Browser market, same as WebKit, only used by Apple. Chromium is currently the most advanced engine and because of this used by the vast majority of current browsers, practically all that come out new.

As said, Chromium is OpenSource and used by almost 70 existing browsers, the bad, also by the worst companies of the market, Google and Microsoft. No big brother company use the Gecko engine, because of this, it's easy to make Firefox and forks OpenSource, but in Chromium browsers this is different, Chromium itself is OpenSource, but apart of the engine, all other layers which are somewhat special, like those of Vivaldi with it's unique features and UI, will be forked by Google and Microsoft, even Opera, in their browsers in the same moment when it becomes OpenSource, which will be the end of all other Chromiums and also for Vivaldi.

Because of this, none of the existing Chromiums with some speciall features are fully OpenSource, not only Vivaldi, because it's existence depend on it.

OpenSource Chromiums are simple forks as is, with some minor modifications in the code and another Logo. There isn't a problem to remain FOSS.

Anyway with almost 100 existing browsers out there, all based in 3 engines, the sense of OpenSource is very debatable, more for the user, for him prevail more the Company etics its transaparency and a good community, which is full given in Vivaldi, despite that 5% of it's script related to it's UI is protected, but full auditable and even moddeable by the user, the only thing, he can't use it for another browser.

OpenSource is fine, but don't confuse OpenSource as synonym of security and privacy or beeing trustworth, this depends only on the author or company and what he does with the fork he use.

Rarely. Sometimes I might rename a tab and often I used to rename accordion tab stacks but given I'm mostly using few workspace I've mostly dropped the renaming matter 🙂

This encryption key is a pain in the neck.

@fjc1029 I haven't any information that would enable me to have an opinion on that.

@Panino, it's good possible. Blocker have a hard work in YouTube with all the ads, tracking, clickbaits and other crap it use, that makes that the videos and the page often use almost half a GB to load.

This in a short Video, using the Vivaldi blocker, showing 79 trackers and 23 ads

You can load the video fast, editing the video URL

Use

https://www.youtube.com/embed/**********

Instead of

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=**********

So it loads fast, in a full tab, independent from the YT page and without ads

@rectle11, ah, thanks, I didn't see this before in the key options.
