  Thanks @gwen-dragon and @luetage. It seems my purge of Hotmail folders and GMail labels has worked. I am only left with the following 4 custom folders in Vivaldi: Archive & Notes (Hotmail defaults) Outbox(*) & Important(+) (GMail defaults) (*) turns out this is marked as "Scheduled" in the GMail web interface, but I confirm you can see it as an actual outbox by entering "in:outbox" in the search field. How very transparent (+) this is marked as a label rather than an IMAP folder in the web interface ("is:important" rather than "in:important"). How very transparent (Edit: one interesting thing this has shown me is that you can make your whole GTalk / Hangouts / Meet chat history available as an IMAP folder! That is actually something I might do once M3 is stable...)

  В Русском сегменте Интернета присутствует проблема с отображением Картинок на многих сайтах я еще не разобрался из за чего но возможно из за модуля WidevineCdm . In the Russian segment of the Internet, there is a problem with displaying Pictures on many sites, I have not yet figured out why, but perhaps because of the WidevineCdm module.

  You could put the UI under a license that doesn't allow redistributing the code, but allows reading and modifying the code.

  I have used dozens of browsers in the past and just recently left Brave browser. Vivaldi is superior to all browsers in so many ways. I can safely say that Vivaldi is my browser of choice and of my business.

  Hey guys, thanks for the update. Especially the way the thumbnails for the stacked tabs are displayed is nice and more useable for the power user with lots of tabs. However there is no way to distinguish hibernated tabs among the stacked tabs. Can we have dimmed icons for the hibernated tabs inside a tab stack just like typical tabs? Or at least use a slightly different background color for those. Anything to help us distinguish the hibernated tabs from others. Thanks, Iman

  @space670 , I suppose they can put the option more accessible, although I think most of us use the Dark Mode permanently and only deactivate it occasionally in a very few pages where it does not have a good result. And then having it one or two clicks away is quite irrelevant. It is possible that it will be changed in the future, although I think that since it is not such an urgent modification, it will not be a priority either in the development.

  @Steffie You certainly read a lot of fiction, madame. Good joke. I'm afraid it will get a little closer to reality when Google forces the manifest v3.

  I want Edge to get better, so I help out. Report bugs and so on. You can choose your search engine, even DuckDuckGo. Choose address bar on "Search on new tabs uses search box or address bar" you search in other search engines. You can even delete Bing, if you don't want it. I actually like the New Tab, better than speed dials, for I can have a nice Favourites Bar with all folders on it with drop down pages. I'd be quite happy to get rid of speed dials, and get back to favourites Bar, in Vivaldi/Opera. You can't sync yet, but most probably will be able to, after a final release.

  Many thanks to the Vivaldi team for this magnificent Browser, that has become essential and irreplaceable for me since its first version. Not only for its great functionality, but also for being the most democratic in a community just as incomparable. All my best wishes for 2021 to all of you.

  Hello! I've been trying to use my university mail on a Web Panel but I can't stay logged in (my username and password are already saved when I open it in a normal tab) - am I missing something? Has anyone experienced the same kind of issue? BTW I started using Vivaldi this week and I'm totally in love with it! Best browser ever

  I still prefer Startpage over DDG (I used DDG around 2 years, until found more information about Startpage and how Vivaldi rise it up on this blog post) Both have similar "settings" feature, but Startpage settings can be used without cookies, it's using unique URL link which can be added to browser without saving cookies, a safe way to do this. DDG relies on keyword on saved settings (which uses cookies on saving it on browser until cache is cleaned), basic not so safe way to do this. DDG is also fully US based service, I know Startpage case is little weird with US adtech thing (adsense stuff seen on uBlock, depends what list you using, they are blocked or not), but as they been telling, it's nothing to do with Startpage privacy, but Startpage is still EU based service. I also like one certain setting on Startpage, to able choose which Startpage server is used, US or EU. Very important you can choose default server. Also seen QWANT mentioned on many privacy websites, advertised as "no collect information on user" or similar, this is actually false claim and you notice it instantly by reading QWANT privacy policy about how they secure users activity and about IP collected and some other information too.
