  @valiowk Thank you! Ack, every day, in every way, i make more & more dumb errors. Spoiler I had completely forgotten that i could rename them, blush. That's indeed what i did yonks ago for the tabs column, after which it seems i forgot all about it, AND lost all ability to read the options in Settings. Thanks again.

  I remember a few months ago while working, I noticed Vivaldi started to lag a bit... I checked the linux uptime: just 3 months... not that... Firefox was closed (I use it for some testing)... not that either; then I hit F2 and checked: 78 tabs in four windows. Time for come cleanup: manpages open, APIs docs everywhere... I closed about 40 of them, and grouped a few more. I even managed to close one of the windows. After that, I closed and opened Vivaldi again, just to "clean-up" resources. Next feature: auto-destruct tabs: set up a tab to close itself if not visited in X days.

  @daniel15 said in Introducing Vivaldi Mail in Technical Preview: Does it support IMAP IDLE for real-time notification of new emails, rather than manually polling? I was going to say to turn on logging in the mail settings and check the log in the dev console to see if M3 and the server report that they support IDLE and that it's actually working. But, I'm not getting anything logged to the console. It used to work though when M3 first came out.

  Sounds great! I have a new Galaxy Tab S7 (which I just checked actually has an 11-inch screen!) and an old but trusted Sony Xperia XZ phone which I already dread having to replace at some point.

  @10Meisterbaelle , this is precisely what Vivaldi has done, the code is open for audit, but some parts are protected and not for free use.

  @RockinRobbins Believe it or not, Chrome was one of the first browsers that force users to use the browser the way the developers intend. With Firefox and other browsers, you had the option of using Tab Mix Plus to customize. The reality is that not every uses the browsers the way the developers intend. Customization of the tabs is one of the key aspects that differentiate the different browsers. I see absolutely no point in using Opera now that its neutered and the same goes for Firefox. Vivaldi has some customization of the tabs, if it wasn't for that, I would just switch back to Chrome and none of these API call changes matter to me. Other than the tab customizations, none of the other features impress me. Its either something I don't need or just more bloat. I don't even use the internal speeddial function because Speed Dial 2 is 100 times better in my opinion. I just need a secure, stable browser that works on most web sites and customization of the tab interface. Anything else, I can find an extension. The tab control is one of the items where there are no extensions to improve the stock performance.

  Hi! thanks for this update, I don't know if anyone's having this issue or not or if this is the place for this, but after the last update, sometimes when I'm watching a Youtube video, it gets paused whenever there's an ad, before this update, I would have the usual ad at the beginning of the video, but the rest would ply without interruptions. Once again, thank you for the wonderful work you guys do! all the best from Chile.

  As of this update, with the setting "As Tab Stack with Related Tab" checked, new tabs open at the beginning of the tabs bar. Previously it was at the end! Can't you guys add a checkbox option "Create Tab Stack" as an addition to New Tab Position options? Pretty please. @Ruarí

  @SergejB you could slightly increase the UI size. Often helps.

  What do you mean by External download managers? In that screenshot, you show other browsers. Generally, when one thinks of download managers on Android, it's usually Idm, ADM, etc. 2 AND those are not supported as the app gives a "No download manager installed" error. Really confusing!

  @pablogutierezz: As in guigirl's screenshot below really. Basically if you have a tab stack and you have your tabs on the left side of the browser then you can make one column wider than the other to be able to read whichever column is larger but you can only enlarge the columns to a certain width before they have a hard stop. I'd like to be able to widen each column as wide as I want as the screen space is mine to do with as I wish but as you can only enlarge the columns to a certain percentage of the browser width it's stopping me from utilising tabs on the left as I can't read the tabs fully. I either get my top level of tabs readable and the tab stack tabs aren't or I enlarge the tabs in the stacks column and then can't read the first column properly. Having to go and keep on enlarging one column or the other all the while is unfortunately a nuisance. I'm not too sure therefore why the columns can't just be enlarged to as much of the screen as you want instead of having that hard stop there? If it's too much for some people then they just wouldn't enlarge that far? Seems fair I think?

  @pradagio said in What’s in a term: Snapshot vs Stable: @Pesala said in What’s in a term: Snapshot vs Stable: Install the Snapshot as a Standalone Version so that it does not interfere with your settings for the Stable release. thx pesala - i'm on linux so i'm ok. never heard of standalone for windows, but then i'm used to win95 and win98. You can always choose to install Vivaldi as default or as standalone (in any file location you want) under the advanced settings. I haven't done a new installation for a year or two so I don't know if anything changed recently...
