Snapshot 1.0.429.5 - A fix for videos causing freezes and a new option for tab switching
-
Whooo!
"Click Active Tab to Switch to Previous Tab"
Just the thing i've been anxiously waiting for, been asking to get this feature on new Opera for couple years now, nothing.
It's the small things like this that can have such a huge impact on some users. -
Edited to add request #3.
I'm going to start off with praise.
-
I absolutely LOVE the address bar. The loading byte/kb count, the funky rewind spring effect… very slick, and very much noticed.
-
Unlike Opera, I can actually use the dev tools in Vivaldi without losing contact with my keyboard. Yay!
-
With a cloned profile from Opera, using 95% of the same extensions, Vivaldi is noticeably more responsive.
Now some requests:
-
Can you add "Reopen Closed Tab" and "New Tab" to the context menu for the blank area of the title bar, where there are no tabs?
-
The ability to snap-dock the dev window to the bottom of the window, or a screen edge (!!) would be awesome.
-
A way to re-order context menu items would be fantastic! Please? I don't mind editing text configs. Actually, for now I just want "Open Link in Background Tab" at the top. :p
Now a note about the new tab clicking. A long click/press should NOT switch to the previous tab, as the user may be wanting to re-order their tabs. As it is, the new behavior is jarring in that context.
Finally - how can I copy an existing portable installation to a different computer AND keep the extensions? I tried this earlier at work, and everything was fine but all my extensions had disappeared. Fearing other things had gone amiss under the hood, I decided to dump it.

i prefer to be possible seeing the password because I can have some problem with the vivaldi login in future and I got memorized the password. But I would like a Master Password as in Opera.
-
That bug introduced in previous snapshot still exists
Vivaldi keeps stealing focus from other windows when alttabbing to them
Even when I switch between two vivaldi windows, it sometimes snaps me back to other vivaldi window
I have no idea what causes this but opening a new tab in any window fixes it for a moment but it happens so often that I think i will downgrade -
wojcieche – Maybe I took it wrong. You're right.
That's the point -- only logins -- Passwords not exist. I should be (myself) able to see passwords as their owner.Suppose
At the moment a computer is stolen or used by another person – even if the password in the settings will be hidden (as it is now) -- it's still the browser remember passwords.
For example:Someone wants to log on to Facebook, Twitter or another party. He does not know the password. Comes in a set but there is no password (because they are hidden).
But this is not a problem for this person. Vivaldi remembered passwords. Now, thanks to the settings he sees where (on which pages) can login --- as I do this now.
After that the person can very easily change the password to whatever he wants.It is easy to bypass security. Somehow it must be solve.
-
After the update, the browser no longer start!
-
Well, damn. I keep forgetting about that bin icon.
I suppose it's just habit from Opera, where the non-tab blank area has "New tab" and "Reopen last closed tab" at the TOP. The reopen entry for the tab context in both Opera and Vivaldi is at the very bottom - less accessible, so it became a habit to use the blank area to reopen tabs.
Most of the time I only have a few tabs open, so there's a huge blank space that's easier to target.
-
This is a pet peeve of mine, especially on my phone. I want to see what I've typed on my personal device, whether it's my PC or my mobile. Like you I use a plugin to reveal passwords when moused over, "ShowPassword" 1.1.1 in the Chrome store.
-
Sometimes the gesture for a new tab opens a previously closed tab, not necessarily the most recent. Anyone else getting this?
-
Just wanted to say thanks so much for the new "last tab" feature, I liked it immediately.
-

You could simply try to use the "Open in BG Tab" mouse gesture instead. So instead of RMB-then move mouse to menu item-LMB you could do RMB-drag-down-and-up. Does the trick for me
While I am at it: I wish I could reconfigure mouse gestures so that the gesture I am used to is back again: RMB-drag-down (aka. Gesture Down) is used for "open link in backgroud tab". I am willing to edit config files.
-
Thanks for reminding me about that gesture.I'll give it a shot - I use gestures for navigating only, so it'll take a while.
-
Yes! Thank god (/Thor?) for that Youtube bug fix, and I've been clicking tabs to minimise fruitlessly since Presto days… Brilliant!
Bug: scrolling on Windows 10 (Thinkpad X1 Carbon gen 3) is a nightmare on the touchpad. It's laggy, bouncy and slow. It could be the Synaptics software driver being crap, but then why is Edge so good at scrolling on my machine (Immediate, fast and smooth, like Presto was)?
Feature request: please can we have a master password one day? ...and Wand/Thor's Staff/whatever? ...and ctrl+enter?! Seriously though, a master password would be great, especially when this becomes and email client, and to be honest I'm already logged in to my email since I don't delete cookies on exit each time, so a Master password would be great.
-
This has happened to me in previous builds. Haven't noticed anything with this build yet.
-
Yes and it kinda worries me. I had the same happen with Opera, which was one of the reasons I stopped using it entirely. The bug has been there for a huge number of builds and was never fixed (it's still there for me).
Issue is that I haven't figured out a way to reproduce it consistently so I can't report it yet.
Edit
I had it happen in this build as well. -
I've had it happen sporadically in both Opera and Vivaldi, in current builds. It's annoying, but not rage inducing yet.
-
Yeah, same here. I wonder if it's a Chrome thing. I don't use that, so I dunno.
-
What about click a link with the middle mouse button that should open it in background tab or left click it while holding down crtl. Don't see th need to readjust the context menu for this one .
Nevertheless an adjustable context menu - regardles of purpose - would be really great. I like that idea
-
Click active tab to return to previous tab – yesssssss! I missed that
-
Thanks, that solves it.
