@Gwen-Dragon I'll consider doing this. Right now I feel the need to let the previous reply's information sink in--I take it that applications should only be toward open positions--or wait for others' input on unsolicited / general job applications.
Really a good idea to use notes as a private chat, maybe in a future Vivaldi can even expand this idea to add a chat function, that allows you to add more participants from other Vivaldi accounts.
@danielson - really don't know what happened, but after quite a few attempts, i'm finally able to login now (even with all extensions enabled) - a glitch or... old age maybe?!
All's well that ends well.
I have been using this outstanding browser on my desktop for some time now and cannot imagine using any other browser. I use a Android phone. I was doing my happy dance when Vivaldi launched its Android browser. It synced with my desktop perfectly. A thousand Kudos to Jon and his very talented team for once again achieving perfection. This brings me to my point. Many of my friends and associates have iphones. They are synced to their desktop browsers. They will not consider Vivaldi because they cannot sync it to their iphones. Jon, when Vivaldi launches its iphone app I can promise you several new users.
@Pathduck Web developers are very cool and smart people, but I'm still a long way from being one. But in twelve years with Windows I know some tricks and with Vivaldi the Vivaldi forum has already given me some tricks (modifications)....
As long as there exists the possibility of mapping the 2 different domain name variants (with and without WWW) to different IPs or services, users need to see where they are.
Some domains are setup with WWW for serving a web site, and without WWW for access to email or the server software.
Every time there is a call from Google to obscure the reality of URLs for the sake of making them less obscure, I see an immediate vector open for misdirection and mischief.
We have enough trouble with clever use of encoded URLs and crafty use of Unicode.
Google want to hide everything not the central domain name, thus exposing users to higher risk of being on a fake site and not knowing.
Relying on a valid cert for authenticity is no use to newbies that have no idea where in the cert to look for the correct domain info.
Who issued the cert seems to be more important to display than which domains it is meant for (am I alone in seeing this as the wrong way round?)
Chromium doesn't even use proper OCSP so we have to put up with Googles crappy system (unless you enable it as a policy).
Ultimately this info is UI stuff so can be as optional as needed.
The full info should be on by default, and easy to change.
Personally I prefer to know exactly what I just trod in, so even favour seeing more info, such as a flag for geo-ip and the ability to see the IP of the domain I am on.
@Pesala said in Nice little review on Vivaldi here: "The Ultimate Browser for Bloggers: Vivaldi":
I commented on the blog, but my comment was not published.
Didn't you get "Your comment is waiting ...... "?
@luetage I suppose, that they got their number from netmarket share, where Vivaldi is listed. You can even compare them to other browsers. You'll always take their numbers with some caution, but as I remember Jon v.T. didn't contradict these numbers when he was interviewed by ZDNET lately.
Truely, Vivaldi is some niche browser, but I had hoped they were having at least some meaningful increase in numbers since release. But if the numbers are right they are flying under the radar of any useful metrics. Hope they'll get some ground with releasing the mobile version. I'm not interested in the email-client anyway.
Vivaldi going away weren't good IMHO. But when they take their users serious, they should at least let them have to join in their numbers. Staying obscure in these matters doesn't seem to encourage confidence.
