@OldHickory30 This is normal for Chromium. It happens when you try to get back to a page where you’ve input something. But yeah, a reload fixes it. It’s not a bug though, not much we can do about it I think.
Agreed. Same here, updater is not working (on Snapshot).
Must update manually from version 2160.3 to Ver. 3.6.2165.3
Submitted as bug, VB-76120
Resolved in latest Snapshot version.
I should have caught this in the Changelog. DOH!
[EDIT] Actually Ver. 3.6.2165.3 did not give me update notification either to:
Vivaldi 3.6.2165.22 (Official Build) (64-bit)
Revision ed5d39a7cdbcb63ef10964744db3c92d6f9c964c
OS Windows 10 OS Version 2009 (Build 19042.746)
JavaScript V8 8.8.278.14
@adrienp As I have said in related threads, we do not know when native M1 builds will be ready but when they are, I do not think that the Vivaldi team would waste any time releasing them in a Snapshot build for testing.
@Devon7 Did you happen to have the #ignore-gpu-blocklist flag (or any other graphics-related flag) enabled when you were experiencing those rendering glitches? Normally, the Chromium team will disable hardware acceleration on any GPUs that are known to cause rendering issues.
The forum software is very frustrating. I help elderly people and this is the kind of issues that keep them isolated from computer and social media which they use to keep in touch with their grandchildren. I don't see any circles so I'm typing this in a box that is only two lines high. Very frustrating.
I guess I don't find Vivaldi very intuitive and that's my issue. I don't mind customization but I feel that it should just work out of the box and you don't have to go and learn all the nuances of the software to get it to how you normally like it. I replaced my drive with a new SSD drive and thought this would be a great way to try something new since I've not migrated any of my preferences over from the old hard drive. I've been trying to get this browser somewhat normal since 8am and it's now 11:30am.
Then right click the bookmarks entry and delete. Should you have the Horizontal Menu enabled select that one and then delete the bookmarks entry from there.
Did that, it still shows up under the bookmarks tab.
If you want everything on one speed dial page create a folder on the bookmarks page and drag all the other folders into it.
I don't want a speed dial folder, I just want it to show up when I open a new tab/window. I don't want to have to go take more time, now I've been at this for three/four hours now which I think is an excessive amount of time to spend trying to get a web browse to work.) I shouldn't have to go and make/source files so I can have readable speed dial bookmarks. I don't know why this browser can't full something similar like it does the favicon for the speed dial buttons.
Other issues:
I like most pages at 120% magnification. I will change the magnification and when I click off that page to another page of the some domain, it goes back to 100%... so then I have to change it again, rinse repeat. In Opera, when I changed magnification, it would do so for the whole domain, not that specific page.
I would like six speed dial bookmark buttons per row. I looked to change that, but I can't.
I don't know how to close it out of full screen other than hoping the button will show up in the left hand corner and not trigger my hot corner for Mission Control. Why can't I simply hit the ESC button?
I was really hoping to try out a new browser since there are issues with the others that I didn't like. I like trying new things but this is really really frustrating.
I'm still having this problem on both macOS Mojave and macOS Big Sur. Is no one else experiencing this? Just to reiterate, this is only when opening Vivaldi from a quit state by clicking a link in another app. My start page and the link I clicked both open.
@Chas4 Okay I will try that thank you. Vivaldi doesn't do this every time I dash it down so it might take some time to figure out if it's an extension or not.
@xyzzy Thank you. I had tried sync from the new one, and that didn't work. I haven't wiped the old one yet. That one is going to my son, but I wanted to get my new up totally up and running first. I will give those a go later, but omit the carrier pigeon option. XD
@rwatson8120 Any reason you have not updated to macOS 11.1?
I do see the same message that you see on that page in Vivaldi. Strangely looks like there might be broken code on the site as it starts to play in the background for me then the page reloads and I get the corrupted media message.
@mib2berlin Vivaldi is native on Intel Macs (including on Big Sur) it is the M1 (arm based) that there is not a native version for yet it runs via Rosetta 2 (which translates the Intel code to the arm code (Rosetta 1 years ago did the same thing for PowerPC to Intel)) .
Hi there, I've got the same problem. MBP 2015 15 16 GB RAM. Running OS Big Sur 11.1 (and also had in OS X Mojave and Catalina) Any video content increases the CPU. See Screenshot.
Best regards from Germany!
