If the VPN gateways/routers have "security" filters against strange browsers, they can slow down.

I don't know about you guys, but it appears that after the last Vivaldi update (7.4.3684.38), the ad cleanup works correctly again when opening links in a new background tab! 🎉

@RasheedHolland said in Close Tab Activation is ignored (Major Bug!):

this is the bug report: VB-109160

@RasheedHolland Still not fix.

@DoctorG said in Question about YouTube and investing.com (Vivaldi 7.3):

@RasheedHolland Ah, goo, be happy to able to work with the investing platform now without any trouble. 🙂

Yes, it was very annoying, especially because the helpdesk didn't think it was a general bug on the website. They somehow always seem to think it's a problem on your machine only. The same with Yahoo Finance, which is using a lot of CPU time. 🙄

@RasheedHolland
NP, I still not sure, sometimes it work sometimes not independent of the system resources.
I read about The Great Tab Suspender but I never test it.
It seems the menu entry was removed, add it in the tab menu customization.

I didn't know you could customize the tab menu. But perhaps it would make also sense to add a ''Hibernate active workspace'' option. And I would rather not use an extension to hibernate tabs, but I just wondered if they somehow worked better.

@DoctorG no pressure - just an info

To interact to Play is unusual policy.
Not a Default.
May be a Extension hast enabled such.
Check Extensions Manager.

And had you tried to reset vivaldi:flags and restarted.

@mib2berlin OK. Thank you anyway.

@Hadden89, yes, because of this I still have EDGE installed, but inactive. I think to substitute EDGE with Vivaldi in the whole task settings is somewhat annoying, but more secure and enough.

I believe that its Home Page is now at https://apps.kde.org/crowtranslate/.
The GitHub site is now read-only.
After I posted here, I found this out from someone on the Freeware newsgroup:

"CrowTranslate can be used offline with a local setup of LibreTranslate, which in itself is (mostly) a webservice wrapper to the ArgosTranslate library. LibreTranslate can be installed on localhost (aka your PC), on a directly linked NAS, etc."

FYI https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/browsers.html#origin-keyed-agent-clusters

This seems to be controlled by a feature flag that may have expired after Chromium 130 (that is, after 7.0).

@DRYN
Hi, if this extension can export/import sessions you can try to run it in Vivaldi.
Vivaldi support Chrome extensions but some cause issues, specially if they get in conflict with Vivaldi features but you can test this.
You can save Vivaldi stacks (Groups) as session, the right click context menu include "Save selected tabs as session".
Depend on your stack settings it takes a stack as selected or you select tabs you want to save with Shift/Ctrl+Click.
Check on Workspaces, some users use a combination of stacks and workspaces.
I don't need stacks I use only workspaces.

Cheers, mib
EDIT: I see now you are a long term user, you should know all this. 🙂

@DoctorG I mean the profiles dialog window that you get when you open it from the taskbar. vivaldi icon. This is how I always open a profile.

it was always alphabetical, i upgraded to 7.4 .. and then it isn't.. i did not create them in alphabetical order but they always previously appeared in a..z order (Which I appreciated)

also someone was probably monkeying with the profiles dialog as there are only 3 profiles on a row now, not 4. So this seems like some kind of side effect if it wasn't intentional.

Thank you for helping us make Vivaldi better! Your bug report has been given the issue reference VB-117150 and a copy of it was sent to the email address you provided in the form. Feel free to send us screenshots or crash logs by replying to the email. We may be in touch for further information if needed.

@Pesala said in Open new link in tab (which is inside tab stack) outside of tab stack:

@DoctorG How are you opening the link?

Shift+Click or Ctrl+Click.

What are your settings for New Tab Position?

After Related Tabs.

But the tab is a different domain, should not be seen as related, am i right?.

@Pathduck This helped! Thanks a lot!

@BSM2020
Hi, we need at least one link where this happen, amazon.com use 100% of my screen for example.
Pages like https://www.windowscentral.com are designed like a magazine, more height than width.
Or did you meant the web panel wide?

Most likely issue: ProductCode on top level was only valid for manifest v1.0.

In later versions it must be set:

per installer entry (since manifest v1.1) or as an extended match parameter for AppsAndFeaturesEntries (usable apparently since manifest v1.2)

@Pesala Yes, I have
"Save to Default Location Without Asking"
ticked.

And I also have;
chrome://settings/downloads -> Ask where to save each file before downloading
which I found out is a workaround to emulate that Opera behavior, bringing the Save as dialog as soon as I click a link.

@yngve Thanks for the answer! Although I don't have the skills to fully understand it, others will 😄
