@Streptococcus said in Vivaldi update:
@jon
I wish you could make the font for the internal menus larger, and also change the background colour. The bookmarks toolbar is black with white text and the font is size 16pt (I think), but the menus from there are white with tiny text.
@Streptococcus , feel free to add a feature request through the bug tracking system. We continue to work on making things really flexible and this should be on the list.
@barbudo2005 said in Cannot access Greasy Fork scripts:
@streptococcus Try disabling uBO as extension not only for Greasy Fork.
I tried that and it made no difference. I can still get scripts with some of my other browsers and install them manually if I have to do that.
@ohlong said in 👌 winfuture.de reports very positive about Vivaldi 4.0:
and unread feeds show up in my unread mail tab.
As they did in Opera 12 already 😉
@ohlong said in 👌 winfuture.de reports very positive about Vivaldi 4.0:
many things from menu bars to keyword shortcuts have been broken.
I can't say I relate to that but maybe because I use mostly the default configurations for those. I did notice loss of history and an annoying tendency to keep reverting the cookies to a session only setting. I know there were sync issues, but I'm not sure my symptoms were related to those. Not sure if it could be your case as well? (then again, maybe not, what do you mean by "broken"?)
@ohlong said in 👌 winfuture.de reports very positive about Vivaldi 4.0:
I can't even turn annoying notification popups off from mail so I'm seriously considering removing my mail and feeds from Vivaldi.
There are two popup settings, one for feeds and one for mail. Did you turn off both? If so, just search for "notification" in the Settings panel and see if something else rings a bell...
@ohlong said in 👌 winfuture.de reports very positive about Vivaldi 4.0:
can understand feeds and mail being off as they're clearly beta, but why did the menu bar disappear?
Could it be related to this other thread? https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/62202/show-tab-bar-setting-hides-menu-bar?_=1626248639430
Apple only allows browsers based on the WebKit engine to be added to the App Store. So if Vivaldi wants to release a version for iOS, they would have to rebuild the entire browser (since Chromium isn't WebKit). That would take a lot of time and resources to do.
(That doesn't mean that it won't happen, though, only that it will take more time.)
@doctorg , one thing is that a software does not correspond to privacy requirements, using APIs that track user activity and quite another to physically attack the developer for this.
There is a very simple thing, if a soft does not correspond to the expectations of the user, he is free to look for an alternative and the end of the matter.
Everything else is a matter of cavemen and undesirables that unfortunately abound on the web.
@luetage said in Vivaldi on... Brave Search?:
@itruth [W]hy would you want to send everything you type to their server in the first place?
You answered your own question: If you want search-suggestions.
I just checked and yes I did change a lot things when I was experimenting on Vivaldi 3 in 2020

Other than the trivial address bar text greying stuff as above, I am pleased Vivaldi has these
settings for UI things and I would like to see more settings for everything else added so if it works against me and I can adjust it or revert it.
I remembered Mozila did something like this in about 2010 Firefox 21 and it was under browser.urlbar.trimURLs according to my about:config settings list.
I don't use Firefox anymore. I'd thought I'd give Firefox 75 a try at the same time I was giving Vivaldi 3 a go and every customization I make they do other stuff that I find annoying after every upgrade as of recently they do the dimming background thing on dialogues, exit, close tabs, or default browser and this hurts my eyes and cuts me off.
@gwen-dragon Yes, this is what I would like. As well as an alternative to Google Safe Browsing (which technically does not send URLs to Google but can leak data). I will look into contacting the marketing team when I have time.
@pesala If you liked ecosia you might also like using refoorest.com/en which is a web plugin you can add to your web browser (google, bing, ecosia...) it lets you plant a tree every time you visit one of their partners’ website and it’s totally free 😊
@stardepp , if you had previously told her that a sponsor and one of the default search engines is Ecosia, she would have asked you for a private interview, shure 😎
@code3 , yes, although I am almost not so clear that the 2 negative points alleged are very justified ("Can delete user account without reason" WTF), but anyway much better than the King of Privacy Firefox with a big D.
