This has been happening to only one of my Vivaldi installations since I don't know when. It happens on a Windows 10 system but not on a Windows 7 system.
MEGA extension always works correctly in Private Mode. After the file is downloaded, I click on "Save" and the download dialog pops-up allowing me to pick a place to save it.
In regular mode, instead of popping-up the download dialog, it tries to create a video player object, which does not load the file and neither plays nor gives the option to save the file in the video player control bar.
vivaldi://media-internals shows that video players from blob:chrome-extension//yaddayadda are "WEBMEDIAPLAYER_DESTROYED"
The downloaded file is correctly downloaded and decrypted, and I can go copy it manually out of AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default\File System, and if I rename it manually it plays correctly in VLC.
Why is the video player crashing?
Why is the video player not loading in private mode?
How do I force Vivaldi to do the same in regular mode or to ask me what to do with videos?
@luetage said in How can I hide these 2 elements (bookmarks, history):
You open a text editor and paste the provided css line into it. Then you save this file as custom.css. Afterwards move this file inside the Vivaldi application (not the Vivaldi profile folder). All you have to do now is open the file browser.html with the text editor and reference the file you just placed. Detailed explanations are being provided in the guide (where to place the file directly, what lines to add to browser.html etc). If you can't follow these instructions, or if you don't feel comfortable about messing with the application, then you should probably let it be. Although I can tell you right now that no real harm can be done. The Vivaldi application can always be reinstalled, if something goes really south and your profile with all the user data remains untouched.
If you have problems understanding because the instructions are written in English, just repost on the German forum board.
wow thank u for u kind help, i will try it :-)
and also i will tell u if it worked for me or not
I got the answer from RescueTime team https://rescuetime.helpscoutdocs.com/article/57-using-rescuetime-with-a-non-supported-browser but I can't open settings of the plugin, because it just freeze when I click "settings".
@luetage It is a very minimalist browser design and it shows that you can use it without all of the optical clutter.
For all who find this thread: Ctrl+F11 is your friend.
Some extensions work in web panels (Stylish for example - it was removed from Chrome web store and I have disabled it since, but when I enable it, it still works). I've had some idea about what makes some extensions work in web panels, while others don't, but it seems that I've been wrong and I still haven't had the time to figure it out, as to what makes some extensions actually work in web panels...
Thanks for report here. Seems you both found an new Vivaldi bug with this extension. I checked our internal bug database but could not find a open issue.
Please be so kind to report us the issue.
Please read how to Report a bug for Vivaldi carefully and then report the bug to Vivaldi bugtracker.
@jakkoking change opacity: 0; to opacity:0.01;
Reason: Vivaldi new bug, won't able to trigger mouseover event on transparent element.
Solution: don't use FULL transparent.
Kind of. It is a Customization issue: Vivaldi has a bug that it doesn't offer me a possibility to live with my left hand on the End/Home/Del/Arrow keys while i am fast-writing with my sick mouse.
Every time i am trying to cancel this toppic, it reminds me that the issue has been adding about 10 minutes of delay into an Average hour of work. Buying a new mouse tomorrow, with Software! :-)
Thanks for all.
@luetage No it doesn't use hosts to block ads, it injects itself into the browser/program to block ads appearing in said program. It uses a combination of lists mostly it's own made lists but is compatible with all online lists and as a built in privacy blocker
@gwen-dragon So there is no way to search current domain?
Can we use javascript then?
There is an extension to do this, but i would rather not using an extension for just simple task.
@zzcool 3rd party non-UWP do not support fluent design yet. Wait till MS figures out how to allow them to use it.
Everything else seems doable though, I think there has been a similar design already made that you can reuse and make it your own.
I could envisage an extension that adds an icon into the extensions area, that changes icon or even just appears/disappears to indicate the page is loading.
I would suggest this API: https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/tabs
And using chrome.tabs.onUpdated.addListener(function callback) to check to see if a tab state gets updated (i.e. it becomes loading, or complete).
As well as chrome.tabs.onActivated.addListener(function callback) to see when a user switches a tab. Alternatively you could just have the icon change whenever a tab is loading, and you could list them with a badge or a drop-down.
If you would rather not use an icon in the extension area and focus on on changing the screen colour, I'm not sure if that's possible via an extension. It may be possible via a mod.
I'm not sure what is meant by " make the screen white and black scale filter "
