Thanks for new interface the Ctrl + Shift + Delete

This might be somewhat unrelated but anyway… I recently started using Vivaldi as my default browser, but I encountered an error when trying to play YouTube videos (HTML5). Every video would just give me a black screen with an error code. I could refresh the page at which point it would give me the error message again and then automatically switch to the old player (Flash?). I dug a bit into the issue and it turns out that the problem is inhereted from Chrome where having a laptop with AMD switchable graphics would typically give this type of error. I run one monitor on my R9 280x and one the integrated graphics (i5 2500k - HD3000), which meant this error applies to me as well. The solution provided by several people was to turn off GPU acceleration or override the GPU blacklist in chrome://flags. I did the latter, and the error disappeared. I don't know if disabling the blacklist is a bad idea though. Any thoughts?

Nice, but I've also noticed a few issues…

The new Clear Private Data UI does not retain any of my previous selections/preferences; it goes right back to "Delete Data for: Past Hour" and all of the checkboxes are cleared.

The History in the URL bar dropdown is (still) not cleared.

Request for Enhancement: Would it be possible to list the number of items that would be cleared for the selected time period? The code to do it is there but the number of items is only displayed after I select the item.

And some questions:

What's the difference between clearing "File Systems" and clearing "Local Storage"?
What indices/databases get deleted when clearing "Index DB" and "Web SQL"?
Are you planning to make the Clear Private Data controls more granular in the future?

Also, FYI, the "Clear Browsing Data…" button on "Start Page / History" still launches the old Chromium UI, which also happens to have a few options that don't seem to be in the new Vivaldi UI.

Thanks!

Thanks for fixing (VB-14612)

Also after pressing 'Logout' from LastPass extension the color of extension remains as Red.
Normally after pressing logout, color of LastPass extension would immediately change from Red to Black

Please fix below mentioned issue related to LastPass
Some Settings not saved in 'Preferences' in LastPass extension (VB-20754)

Also please fix Click&Clean extension issue (VB-20369)

"[Regression] URLs with spaces lead to search (VB-16893)"

Huh? Personally, if I type "http://example.com/ foo bar" into the URL bar, I expect to be taken to a search for those three search terms. That's the way it's been in browsers ever since they started accepting searches in the address bar. If I meant to go to a URL, it would be "http://example.com/ foo bar". (Of course, this is just for text typed into the addressbar. Hyperlink HREFs should always be interpreted as literal addresses.)

+1000 to #2

Regarding #5: For the speed dial zoom, they could take (at the time the speed dial image is captured) two screenshots – one (as is already done) with the page scaled to the resting speed dial size, and one scaled to the hover size. That way, it would be blurry during the split-second CSS Transition, but that wouldn't really be noticeable because once it's enlarged, it would show the equally sharp, slightly higher dimension screenshot.

Are we gonna ever get google search suggestions? I get it that there is probably some sponsorship from Bing … But come on guys, this is basic feature and we are at v1.5.

HTML5 player also not working on OS X 10.11.5 (Running on iMac 27" Late 2009). Same issue encountered as described in the article.

My Vivaldi Wishlist

1. Performance Optimization: Regardless of features, I think performance and RAM usage is the major issue of Vivaldi right now. I have to close Vivaldi everytime I play a heavy game. I don't have to do it with Edge.
2. Profiles: I need to work with several profiles, each one with its own extensions and cookies. Standalone Vivaldi works for now, though.
3. Native Windows 10 Notifications: Currently Vivaldi uses Chrome notifications and they appear on top of my tabs.
4. Allow dragging a link from another window to a new tab: Currently it replaces the content of the active tab, which is super annoying.
5. Option to force open all links in a new window: This is very useful for specific configurations.
6. Edit Speed Dial URLs with an "Edit" Context Menu option: Currently we have to use the Bookmarks Menu to do that. I don't ever use the Bookmarks menu.
7. Allow reordering of Speed Dial Tabs
8. Allow customization of Speed Dial thumbnails
9. M3: Let us set up the feeds refresh interval to at least 5 or 15 minutes
10. Google search suggestions…
11. Developer Tools inside the tab, as it should be.

Looking forward to testing this one too,much appreciation to all, I would second most of the wish list, but Vivaldi's getting better & better

Are the downloads slow for anyone else? I'd like to update but I can't.

Ayespy

Try later, I suppose. I have seen a couple of complaints, but mine was normal speed.

Ayespy

Yes, we can expect it. No, we can't expect it in 1.5.

Big delay occured when creating new tab with startpage. First it will set color from last tab, then gray background and then it will load rest. It will take 1-2 seconds this whole process. Quad-Core 8GB Ram.

Little issue. I had created own Dark Theme, same as original but with Corner Rounding disabled. It stayed there after update, also activated, but Corner Rounding was set to default.

7. is already available. Just drag them around as you wish.

Any folders to the left of the + sign can be dragged around in the Bookmarks Panel, if you have "Sort Manually."

Hello I've got very irritating problem. When I click on link (on facebook and similar sites) by my mouse middle button to open page in background, the page loads but its white. I have to copy addres and open it in new tab, then its working normaly. Any ideas?

There are no longer any thumbnails in the bookmark manager. There isn't even any space for them. The details section is now snapped to the top of the pane.
