  For the most part I use Bing and sign in. Why would I do that? It gives me points I can redeem or "Donate" to my favourite charity, which I do. This is really the only reason I use it. There also points given for searching and viewing news items. For more personal stuff I use Startpage or DDG, both of which I have customized to my preference. But I have found over the years that Bing does seem to give more relevant results than goofle, no matter how snoopy Microsoft is, so it remains one of my favourite engines.

  Reader mode still fails to use the theme correctly often. You have to click the page to trigger it, after enabling Reader. And the settings icon is gone from the page.

  Would it be possible to include an option to show the virual keyboard in desktop mode. For Disney+ the keyboard does not display when needing to enter the profile PIN.

  @ruarí: the problem with those methods is that the version number changes to latest one over time, so they don't permanently match these announcements. that is why it is best to add the full version number to these announcements, so they stick. and for the vivaldi update window, instead of saying "since", say it like "from X to X". these labeling improvements will make it better for users who need to refer back to these announcements at a later date, especially if they skipped some updates and need to catch up on reading the older announcements.

  @ironballz Don't get your hopes up. It is just an aspiration. I do not expect to see it within five years. Vivaldi only has 2.5 million users. Top 10 Web Browsers Others – Chromium, Maxthon, Vivaldi The source is a couple of years out of date, but I doubt if the position has changed much.

  @nomadic So they were more interested in the colorful "flavor of the day" themes, and not so much the serious dark themes that actually have more long term appeal and usability. No love for gothic, noir, or a neutral classical dark theme. alt text

  @bakari45 I suggest that it be the same pixels as your display - for instance, 1920X1080.

  Was the fix for VB-85002 also backported from snapshot work? Or some of it? Because I remember that discussion of the fix for that talked about addressing some "weaknesses" with window state, and so I was holding out hope that VB-84070 (keyboard shortcuts going to the wrong window in MacOS) might also get a repair as part of that work. And suddenly, as of this version, seemingly "ahead of schedule", said bug DOES appear to be fixed - at least, I'm not experiencing it anymore (and I'm the one who reported it). So, yay!

  I think that Mv3 affects the extensions in the store and the compatibility of Chromium with thes extensions, but I think not so in the inbuild filter lists. Because Mv3· don't affect that this filters works in other than Chromium browsers. What we need is a context menu inclusion, like in the adblocker estension.. It's similar like Blokada in Android, Blokada is also in Google Play, but downloaded from the Play store, instead from F-Droid or from the homepage, you obtains only a "decaffeinated version" of Blokada. Mv3 is the reason because Vivaldi include a own ad/trackerblocker since v.3 https://vivaldi.com/blog/ad-blocker-vivaldi-browser/
