FYI the initial "private" post that is created when starting your blog is created as a public/published post, not private as described.

Why not use "filter invert" which is already included in 'page actions'? It works better if you are accessing a white background page. I use it late when using G Docs. And, ..., f.lux of course.

@Pesala Yes, at the bottom of the HTML5 Test Page, they note: "The HTML5 test does not try to test all of the new features offered by HTML5, nor does it try to test the functionality of each feature it does detect." IOW, they're apparently profiling parts of Vivaldi as they believe it would behave from some database they have and reporting that result in their 'test' tables. A nice example of the User Agent String being used to shape a website response.

I do use VIVALDI on my pinebook pro. But widevine drm does not seem to work. I made a symlink of WidevineCdm.so in opt/vivaldi to usr/lib/chromium-browser/libwidewinecdm.so. But videos at https://demo.castlabs.com with drm do not play. What am I missing? Can you help me please?

@prascal Wow... That's quite a necro-bump for this old thread! Can't say I ever use Qwant but I'll try remember to look at it again when I'm next at a PC...
How to save and open groups of tabs in Vivaldi

Right clicking on an open tab doesn't work in the latest (2.10) Vivaldi. I also used to be able to turn my saved sessions into a bookmark folder that I could than move to the Bookmark bar to access conveniently when I come back to the browser. So, how do I "BOOKMARK" multiple tabs that actually works? I leave tabs open and move to the next topic of research. Therefore, my open tabs are the end result of my research, which I then would like to save to bookmarks in the sequence they're in. Thx!

@gajk If you signed up for vivaldi sync, you may have ticked to join the mailing lists. You can unsubscribe from them easily using a link at the bottom of them. You can also unsubscribe from them here: https://vivaldi.com/newsletter/unsubscribe These mailing lists are informational (letting you know about browser updates etc.) and run by Vivaldi, and your details are never shared with 3rd parties.

@Ayespy It should be possible to capture the whole page, e.g. by allowing to make consecutive screenshots each capturing the next 30000px.

@npro: yes version 72... Honestly, if I want to fix privacy and tracking "issues", i am able to do that with a few clicks and some tools. But to fix the extraordinarily miserable interface or to make the ugly sitemenu go away I get no tool a hand... There a other issues, just to name one: The cookie manager. Nothing is better than work with that kind of disturbing and unpleasant cookie manager with a weirdo design. I am not sure if they are testing things before rolling them out... However I'd rather consider installing and using Opera 12 like @mossman our IT guy than let FF out of the box again. Opera has emigrated to China (even that was not the main consideration to move forwards) and Vivaldi jumped into the emptiness. About catching up FF or Brave: I would not care to much about global market share and statistics. Success is not necessarily measured by market shares and the number of monthly users doesn't say anything about usability, browser safety nor trustability and the values or intentions of a company behind the product. One great example for that: GChrome. More than a billion users sticking with a malicious browser. This seems more likely a bad joke than the reality... Less is sometimes more and more ends up at some point in a mess..

@mossman said in Vivaldi 2.10: No strings attached: @ukanuk said in Vivaldi 2.10: No strings attached: I just got the latest updates with Norton LiveUpdate, and can confirm at least on my system that it seems to be working again without the workaround Good news! Okay, I will include "that corporate laptop" in the update round this time... Oh dear... still didn't work for me I found that creating a shortcut with Windows 8 compatability option gets it to work, but it shows a thick outline in full-screen (3 or 4 pixels) so I will see if the command-line workaround fixes that. (Edit: it does) Another oddity running only this laptop - the icon in the task bar is blank for some reason (since a couple of months ago).

@Agoracom I think this isn't possible, even because the the mobile webversion doesn't allow the multiple selection.

@Saile Nope, the only way to "get back" the encryption key is to reset remote data (you'll keep anything stored in local) and sync again - generating a new key.

But there are lack of syncing search engines with a desktop. Every day I use about 20 different search engines, and I bounded with stupid firefox which is only browser that allows to sync search engines between desktop and android. Keywords for search engines is a beatiful idea, but users need more!
