  @tams80 Actually, yes, there will an an iOS version. Apple makes it difficult, but so far, not impossible.

  @altcode The "problem" is that Vivaldi's Mail client is more stateful than clients like Thunderbird... and I discovered quite a while back that weird things can start happening if the server moves a message to another folder (whether it's spam, misidentified spam, or a preprogrammed move) , especially when I am reading that message. When I start noticing things like messages appearing in Trash for no apparent reason, I relaunch Vivaldi, let it do any automatic clean-up that it deems necessary, then right-click on all key folders (Inbox/Received, Sent, Drafts, Trash, etc.) in All Messages and under All Accounts and rerun the filter. Things are usually fine after that. You will get a chance to test whether this trick works because yet another Vivaldi update will very soon be necessary due to yet another Chromium bump with security fixes.

  @rabbit2494 It is absolutely essential that Vivaldi keep their release schedule at a pace with new Chromium releases. This sometimes means going back for minor fixes after a release. But it will not do to fall behind on the incorporated Blink engine. That will cause even more problems.

  Will this function be available on Vivaldi Android? I have exactly the issues mentioned in the article but rare mobile browsers have this functionally.

  The only shortcut which does not work is the last one. Why would you like such an amazing browser anyway?

  @daowace said in Vivaldi 5.0: Announcing Shareable Themes, Translate Panel with automatic translations, and more.: ... Information like "you should never use old versions" is utterly pointless to anyone who values their own user experience over anything else. If something changes for the worse in terms of usability, we're not going to change with it until the thing we're using ceases to function. I agree to a certain extent, it is not just that a user is happy with the version he has and therefore continues to use it ad infinitum, it is that older versions gradually become more insecure, security updates have their reason for being. Naturally if you have a version of Vivaldi, let's say not updated for 1 year, it can be perfectly functional, although with some bugs that were resolved in later versions and perhaps some pages will give you a warning that you have an outdated browser, but this depends on how you use the network, even IE is still working and valid for some tasks (?). Same with Windows or other OS..

  Haha, the wonderful fun just keeps coming. https://www.bleepingcomputer.com/news/security/chinese-hackers-abuse-vlc-media-player-to-launch-malware-loader/ some initial access to some of the breached networks was through a Microsoft Exchange server, indicating that the actor exploited a known vulnerability on unpatched machines deployed a custom loader on compromised systems with the help of the popular VLC media player attacker uses a clean version of VLC with a malicious DLL file in the same path as the media player's export functions The technique is known as DLL side-loading and it is widely used by threat actors to load malware into legitimate processes to hide the malicious activity. Stockholm is just my very fave Syndrome.

  @priest72 This shouldn't be the problem, neither the solution. I downgraded and at first the problem persisted. But soon it went back to normal.

  @joccol That's because it's a pay-for Chrome service. Vivaldi can't pay for it. Still, the developers of Vivaldi, back in the day when they were building the original versions of Opera, did come up with their own voice solutions. It could happen again.

  Having good eye-vision I wanted to add something that will give you a more pleasant peace - of - mind when using your awesome Vivaldi browser: Settings-> Appearance side tab-> User interface zoom: 110%. Try it. It's easier to focus on each character and you will feel more at ease during your work day or gaming day.

  My Moto G5S (European XT1794) was the first Android phone not from Samsung. I bought it in December 2017 to replace Samsung Galaxy S2 that already had severly worn main battery and clock battery (yep, it has one!). And I really want to get BlackBerry KEY2 or its successor if one will come, because before I got my hands on Android, I used Nokia Asha 200, the QWERTY keyboarded phone!
