I think the problem is not so much they aren't imported, I believe Vivaldi never exports them in the first place.
This is also one of my frequent feature requests, better more faithful bookmarks export. Its a necessity with all the problems caused by corrupt profiles.
-
I was wondering about that one too. I'm curious now, couldn't see any visible difference.
Anyone else notice any change?
-
I mentioned it some SS ago and also reported it as a bug. My blogpost was confirmed from several users.
-
In Firefox there's an addon that allows doing this (TabMixPlus) it's called protecting a tab it doesn't 'iconize' or move it to the far left, like pinning, but it does prevents closing which is quite nice at times.
Perhaps a workable solution would be to replace the close X icon with a locker or simply hide it. That wouldn't take any additional UI space and would be clear enough.
-
Not for this Mac user - refreshed profile and nada - bookmarks in preferences and bar still not working at all.

You know what, you can just use google search suggest for any site, as long as the actual Search URL is correct Vivaldi will then correctly resolve the Google suggestion and redirect it to the proper search engine :lol:
Even sites that don't provide a search suggestion feature. Unless it's something very specific I am guessing google suggestions are broad enough to match most casesFor example you can use the search engine for Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=&s
and the search suggest https://www.google.com/complete/search?&output=chrome&q=%s and be done with it eheh -
Aren't we giving Opera money with this? With all due respect, I don't want that.

The only thing that's super annoying for me is this: https://a.pomf.cat/isukfq.mp4
The day we get a proper option to disable this I swear I'm going to go the roof of my house and I'm going to scream of happiness.That said, I think it's time for Vivaldi to start focusing a lot more on performance (maybe starting with 1.4). Lately Vivaldi has been getting tons of customizations (and that's great) but Edge is at least 50% faster in most things. And with Anniversary Update coming, it's going to be a very tough fight.
For now my heart is with Vivaldi, but I'm slowly starting to use Edge for some menial tasks or searches when my PC is a bit clogged, and that's a bad sign.

Thanks! The new color picker is so nice that I managed to create something that works for me It was a pain before when they were using Windows' own tool which probably has not changed since Windows 3.1 days.
-
It'll show up in a future snapshot I guess. Hopefully the next one. I don't know what it will be exactly, could be optimizations or something, but I'm sure it'll be good!
-
Now I'm all cranked up for the next one or two. Ya Vivaldi!

Well, up to now I've been fairly oblivious to whatever constant furious writing may have been going on to the hard drive, but yesterday my boot drive went belly up. Plus it fails the hardware diagnostic tests. Not looking good. It's only three or four years old. I've NEVER had a drive fail that early (In fact, thinking about it, I've never had a drive failure. My wife has, but not me. I have drives fifteen and twenty years old that are still hammering away.) I was backing up my data fairly religiously because the machine was showing symptoms (all of which pointed to a bad graphics card or bad graphics driver), so if I can slave the old drive and get it to spin up, I'm still golden. If I CAN'T, It looks as though I will be able to re-create data which I will have lost, without having to pay some data recovery company hundreds of dollars.
But this makes me more acutely aware of the abuse Vivaldi puts our drives through. I'm hopeful all the furious writing will become a thing of the past, without users having to periodically delete the guilty files.
-
Will try that; thanks.

I too hope that optimizations can come in the future, and soon. You can see they're starting to put performance changelogs on the blogs now, and hiring more personnel from what we see in the blogs(both Molly and those 2 email guys you mentioned somewhere), so it looks like it'll go in that direction. Sometimes, having Vivaldi open with other programs makes my computer lag a bit, and that NEVER happens whatsoever.
The files that I delete regularly are the Shader Cache file, then in the Default folder, all files that say "cache" in them and the 2 Top Sites files. Are there any other files I should delete that'll help?

I only had 1 drive failing on me personally, many years ago so I can say that I'm also very lucky but I can't say the same for servers I have, the failing rate is between 1 - 3 years, and I know plenty of people that lost data because of drive failures on their personal systems. Whatever you do ALWAYS have some handy backups, in particular with SSD drives that will not warn you when they start to fail as opposed to spinning drives that will die slowly in most cases giving you a big window time to copy data. As for blaming this on Vivaldi I’m not sure. Yes, Vivaldi is more intensive on drives, but this mainly a Chromium issue. Some people even called Chrome the SSD killer for that reason. Are you running the stable build? The reason I ask is that I remember some builds back this was a big issue and I also reported it. Vivaldi was having a huge I/O on drives most of the time and my fan was constantly spinning for that reason, and I stopped using it since I don’t want to kill my SSD drives. Then they fixed the issue in some build. I can say that I don’t notice any heavy write/reads on the stable build. Yes, its writing and reading data even while idle (as opposed to Firefox that only does this when there is browsing activity) but it does seem similar to what Chrome does. I’m not sure if Vivaldi currently causes more disk trashing than Chrome but it does not seem so in my case. I does have more activity on drives than any other software I run all the time, it’s not big activity but still is constantly doing something in the drives which I’m not entirely happy with. Vivaldi or any browser SHOULD not be doing this. They should keep things in RAM memory, not constantly hitting drives. I’m actually curious why Vivaldi is constantly accessing the disks even while not using it or having the browser in the background.

Well, everyone keep your fingers crossed. I threw in a new drive and slammed a bare-bones Windows 8.1 on it. The broken drive is plugged into the machine running the new drive, it's spinning, and the machine is trying to scan and "repair" it. If I get mostly readable sectors out of this, I'll be able to recover all my data. Wish me luck.

This is probably a problem with the Blink engine. Opera has it as well. I absolutely despise this bug and it's starting to become more and more prevalent for some reason
