The most customizable browser is now the most colorful: Vivaldi version 1.3 debuts with custom themes, enhanced privacy and much more

Thank you!
Somehow, the "preload" js got blocked by Privacy Badger. Adguard is doing fine.

I have a few feature suggestions, that for some reason it won't let me post in the "1.4 feature request post," and a couple of bug remarks.
FEATURE SUGGESTIONS:
Mouse gestures
- add "minimize window" mouse gesture please
- have mouse gestures work above address bar (currently, it only works partially. They work when the cursor is over a tab, but not on the empty space next to a tab"
- separate linked gestures (new tab/link gesture is very annoying)
Download manager
- download speed indicator
- warning when closing window with downloads in progress
- pause/resume etc.
- ability (like in old opera) to assign which program automatically opens each file
Tab stacking
- expand tabs without breaking stack (old opera behaviour)
BUGS or odd behaviour:
-
CTRL + ENTER in address bar should ignore autocomplete
-
pasting in address bar sometimes automatically adds autocomplete to pasted text
-
PASTE and GO always searches default engine even if different nickname is used
-
Dark theme has the wrong accent!
Looking forward to having these things polished out.

Vivaldi 1.3, Win 7 x64

I am giving a feedback to the blog writer and to the devs, and this is not a comment.
Windows
I have found why the 1.3.551.30 folder had become so large (308MB). The installer places itself inside that folder, and that is 158MB and doesn't delete itself after the installation. The Setup file has to be redone to delete that folder, after the installation. Then the Application folder would be around 150MB. -
Turns out I actually have about 9100 notes on Vivaldi. I'm pretty sure that that's still less than what I had on Opera 11 though, since I used that for far longer than I've used Vivaldi.
-
The current version folders (windows always stores one stripped-down old version folder in Chromium browsers) within Application Data are 302 MB, 328 MB, and 302 MB. Why? The middle one is an internal test version that has the built-in email client and is therefore bigger. These sizes I have just cited are normal and expected.
Not exactly. If the installer had done the job correctly, your Application folders would be around 150MB. If you look carefully, you'd find a 7z file (~145MB) in them.
-
There are further color adjustments coming. The initial way of choosing page color had some limitations. In certain cases those limitations resulted in more pleasing color choices. In the end we want to strive for accuracy. I have been investigating a way to limit the intensity of select colors, as I realize that particularly lime green can be very intense.
-
Please share an image where you see this behavior. Some details on your machine configuration would also be good.
-
Please provide more details on what you are missing. We're not going to revert the new system, but we can adapt it to yield different results.
-
That archive is there for a reason. You'll learn about it pretty soon. spoiler

Something for the weekend?
-
One thing that would be great: the open files being downloaded in temp folder (Windows), not on the default download folder of the browser.
Oh, and the pt-br version is not completely translated. Some options are still in english. -
Sigh. Choice.
And pinned tabs could have something like Google hangouts in it, which you ALWAYS want loaded automatically. Guess what? If the page isn't loaded in the background, it's not going to accept incoming messages and phone calls….
-
Then those people could opt either not to have huge sessions or set Vivaldi not to load all tabs on startup.
-
I think that math comes out to "don't bother filing bug reports at this point."
-
You can choose your downloads folder in Settings, Downloads.
-
This is the problem every Chromium based web browsers have for Windows.
-
I'm an internal tester. I'm not guessing, here. I knew what the stage of development was when the Stable release was built, before it was released.
-
It's comforting to finally find someone who knows so much more about the browser than its developers and testers.
-
It's in a vivaldi subdirectory in your .config folder. If it doesn't grow on Linux, then it could be because some of its subfolders/files in Windows (like cache) are not in that folder on Linux. Might be .cache\vivaldi instead.

[New feature] Allow Speed Dial as homepage (VB-10491)
Umm… Where is this feature added? It used to work as the dummypage, now it's broken and I can't find where this "New Feature" has been added...
