  After having vivaldi reinstalled I thought about this feature. I came to the conclusion I would not use it for me: I want all my data accessible at the same spots all the time, everything else would make me slower. BUT: I will use it for "guests", that use my system (like wife, daughter, ...) Wolfgang

  @mib2berlin: Thank you. It was worth a try but my location is somehow still leaking out. I have been in discussion with my VPN provider and it's not certain that its the browser at all but perhaps my ISP. They are working on it, allegedly.

  Use private windows or guest windows for things that are only of temporal interest - reduces the cache size of your main install Disable each Web Panel which you don't use by right-click > Panels > remove the check mark (they stay loaded after first use) Good tips - thank you! Also just noticed for the second one that if you right click in a blank (unused) area of the Web Panel, you get a slightly different display which omits the extra step of the "Panels" sub-menu.

  @XtremAlRaven Hi, but how long does it take your Vivaldi to open a tab? I'm trying now on an old PC, XP4800+ with 3GB RAM, with 4 tabs open and if i press Ctrl+T the new tab opens in less than a second and is immediately operational. If instead i try to open 20 new cards the slowness is really a lot. Do you always have this slowness or only in particular circumstances?

  Is it possible to do a very basic feature that is to use system font for the browser UI on the native platforms or the least a flag to do so ? Forums are less helpful too

  @Gwen-Dragon said in 5 Ways to Lock Down Your Privacy: But with such spreadsheet you can not use a secure clipboard to copy&paste the login/password. ... and that leaves the browser as SPoF - because it must send it and therefore it needs to be unencrypted (not speaking about GET and POST or HTTP or HTTPS) and that's the weak point. Assuming you need a secure clipboard means assuming you already have a parasite on your computer - and the easiest way to get the password is the browser.

  @rogerconductor You are the first user I have seen who had this problem. It is not a normal part of the Vivaldi update routine. Could you say what your operating system is? (We did have a user with a similar situation, due to a Windows setting).

  Wow. Somehow I overlooked tab pinning. The two webmail tabs just got 'buttonized' with that.

  @maxizrin said in Vivaldi 2.4: Next level Toolbar Customisation: Is there a way to make the Tab/address Bar thinner? The Address Bar can be disabled. Use the F8 or Ctrl+L shortcut to focus the address field, or use the Quick Commands dialogue (F2) to enter URLs and searches.

  @mrmeireles It doesn't display any real time right now. UTC would be easily doable though.

  @antoniolinux You are posting to a thread about a version which is no longer current. What version are you running? It's important, as this bug was fixed but seems as though it may have re-appeared in a newer version (at least for Linux).

  @DavidBevi Vivaldi did create a version without the circle inside the squircle, it was up for some time on the main vivaldi.com site. They seem to have decided against it. In my opinion the logo looks better without the circle – the circle makes it look like some kind of retro TV set / computer screen.

  I was just listening to a podcast (The Vergecast, The Age of Surveillance Capitalism with Shoshana Zuboff, 26/03/2019) where the issues of surveillance capitalism are discussed. I would recommend it for anyone who likes to keep on top of these kind of issues.

  @Christoph142 if you're clever with your pixels you can do sub pixel rendering, but that gives you at most 1/3 of a pixel extra resolution and changes need on the orientation of the display.
