Reader view access options - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.644.7
-
It's a known bug
-
Reader mode changes the page CSS, so turning it on and off requires a reload I think, as someone mentioned in an earlier snapshot.
-
Win 7 64, Viv 32
Installer did not install this SS, had to download as I prefer. Seems better hopefully usable.
Big question… do I remove instructions in shortcut from previous SS now??!! Gong to reboot and start clean boot.
Thanks.
Reboot cleaned up and helped.

Wow tab dragging is pretty much in good shape now, very usable state. Only minor thing missing is support dropping over the empty area of the tab bar, other than that working as expected.
One very very minor nit picking: Dragging a tab sideways generally triggers tab reordering, would be nice if dragging beyond the leftmost or rightmost limit of the tab bar would immediately trigger tab dragging (drawing that "floating tab ghost") just like dragging above or bellow the tab bar currently does. As it stands dragging sideways often fails, only after dragging quite a considerable distance or over another non-Vivaldi window triggers it, giving a false impression of no responsiveness.
Also many many thanks for dragging over the trash icon to erase tab!

Interesting. Opened it on top of the browser here. How lucky am I?
-
Holly crap, has anyone tested this?? Vivaldi is so awesome that it (unintentionally?) managed to make inter-browser tab dragging possible!!
I can drag one Vivaldi tab into a Firefox window and it sorta works, a new Vivaldi window is still opened anyway, but the new tab successfully opens in Firefox.
How awesome is that? -
When I reload and go back to a page, it doesn't work any more. Only the new pages opened in the current session work for me.
-
Same here, reader view makes this page blank
-
Yea, seems it takes a screenshot of the tab when you drag it, easy to see if you drag it over another tab then out.
-
Yes, it benefits those with 56K modems
It benefits everyone indirectly by saving precious resources and demanding less from the Vivaldi download servers and bandwidth.
-
Also if you open an external link and have several Vivaldi windows and not focusing first window.
-
It's not matter of 56K modems, it's matter of people connected with 3g/4g, which are almost always on limited data bundle.
Also all the download on server side makes an huge traffic, and server traffic is on limited data bundle as well.
A different scale bundle, but also a different scale of money.

So that's what it means. I guess I can understand, but the black background is so square when you hover over it. It definitely didn't look like what it used to before, where it was more like the logo itself.
With the way it is without hovering over it, I think it would look a bit better with a small drop shadow behind it.
I keep seeing the V logo look different in different places. The main logo is slightly rounded at the corners, is slanted, and has a trail of 2 other squares behind it, with drop shadows behind the V. It looks good and hi-res. But in other parts of the browser, like the taskbar, it looks completely squared, low-res and fuzzy. It's kind of inconsistent and strange that a low-res version of the logo is used this way when there is already the hi-res better looking version. I think the logo should be updated in all parts, like the browser shortcut icons, their banners, vivaldi.com and .net websites, etc. Everywhere for the good looking version seen here: https://cnet4.cbsistatic.com/hub/i/r/2016/04/05/421ab095-e167-4457-be25-acd176ed0896/resize/570xauto/9307bc52245d5d8189deea23263d7546/vivaldi-browser-logo-icon.jpg
And for the forum website, it should be the same hi-res version, but inverted with a red V and white background.

Also many many thanks for dragging over the trash icon to erase tab!
Hmm, this does not work very well here. I have tabs on the left. Not able to delete a tab even once by dragging it to the trash icon. Tried to do it with tabs on the top. Successful once, but most attempts failed. And there is no feedback to the user when you should drop the tab.

Yeah, a really nice feature, it works in many browsers except EDGE and Opera 12, afaik
-
OK, though there are myriad other programs on an OS that would cause much greater bandwidth use (like OS updates), so little Vivaldi is a bit of a drop in the bucket for a user. A more effective solution would be something OS-centric, like using the metered connection feature in Windows. (btw, is cellular really that common on a PC?!)
But that aside, I like delta updates, just not the implementation. Surely there's a better way of going about the update than a) popping up a window, and especially b) what happens after the browser closes.
As I speculated in the original message, why can't the time-consuming work be staged elsewhere so that it can take place while the browser is still open and you're not waiting on it? That way, when you do tell the browser to restart, there isn't that ungainly progress bar that seems to last much longer than it actually does.
-
Hum, only tested here with tabs on top. Anyway, it only works for me if I drag the tabs above or bellow the tab bar first, triggering the 'new window dragging mode'. If I drag sideways only as in 'tab reordering mode' it doesn't allow dragging to the trash icon

1. Play a YouTube Video
2. Drag it and drop it on the page to open in a new window
3. Right-click on the tab to move it back to the first windowResult: Video is still playing, but the tab is blank.
No such problem if the tab is dragged and dropped back to the first window.

Glad to see keystrokes working now, e.g., Ctrl-T for new tab.
Upon opening after the install (x32 version), Malwarebytes threw up a malicious site or such message for s2pops.club. Never seen it before. Don't know if it was related to my home page, which is Yahoo or something else (Win 10).
And now another as I type, redirectv.com (or re-redirectv.com). Both point to vivaldi.exe as the process, fwiw. Only open site is Yahoo.com
