Reader view access options - Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1.5.644.7

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

This has been known and reported since the first time tab dragging became available

Probably (and I insist on the fact I really don't know), probably because to allow drag and drop between windows, the windows have to share a common basis of knowledge : the tabs open in each window, the cookies available, the status of the webviews etc. But when opening a private window, you really open a window that doesn't share anything, that knows nothing of the other windows, nor share what is loaded in the window to the others. That's what we want from a private window, keep our stuff private. But it means that DnD isn't possible.
-
Neither I think
You have to keep in mind that some users won't go around a software to look at everything, and fiddle with every setting etc. And for those users, the icon looked like… well, an icon, and nothing more. That's why a bit of design was added for it to look more like a button than just an icon, and only as a test. We'll see if it helps -
Yep, the reasons for delta updates are vast. There are more 56K users out there than you may think. More 3G users too. More 1Mb DSL users. But delta updates wasn't really implemented for them, even if indeed, it will help them tremendously.
It was implemented for Vivaldi.
In a previous comment in the blog, I estimated that the cost saved on bandwidth alone just with this implementation of delta only for Windows would be enough to hire a full time engineer. When you are the size of Vivaldi, it really matters.But indeed, I agree that the implementation could be a lot better. But delta updates are quite young in Vivaldi, they will evolve, and be better eventually, just like everything else in the browser
Don't hesitate to file a bug for that feature to be taken care of, though -
Please, can you check if there is any difference between flags in Chrome and Vivaldi ?
-
Nice to hear that, had no idea the server bandwidth saving would be that great!
I used to prefer downloading the installers manually for very snapshot, but ever since introduction of deltas started using the updater so you can hire that extra dev -
I noticed all messages had a down vote! Is it fraud or just plain jerk that has nothing better to do !!?? Trump should get involved. :roll:
-
Yeah, I just noticed that too… Trolls, trolls everywhere...
-
Weird! Firefox isn't even a Chromium browser.
-
Everything became HUGE after this update - browser UI and default zoom level. Can anyone else confirm, or is it just my eyes playing tricks on me?
-
Oh dear, i'm rather surprised that the major regression created in the previous SS was not fixed for this one:
Summary: UI Scale <100% freezes Vivaldi when navigating Bookmarks & Notes Panels.
Key: VB-22358
Considering that V is completely unusable because of this bug, with UI < 100%, i'd naively assumed it would have received some priority for this SS. -
Settings - Address Bar - Cut & Copy Encoded. This is new. What is it for pls, anyone? With it ticked or unticked, so far i haven't perceived a difference.

My guess is that while dragging Vivaldi saves some sort of URL information in memory in plain text format, that Firefox can read just fine
-
Please Vivaldi, create a version for Android of The Browser

Win7/64, Radeon HD6850, Vivaldi 32bit installed for all users, this and the previous Vivaldi snapshot (still) have trouble running in parallel with Shot Online golf game shotonline.gamescampus.com
Starting browser first, no issues, launching game then -> Signal app crashes and browsing the WWW is not possible any more.
Doing it the other way around -> the same problem
Closing and re-launching Vivaldi can result in losing all current session tabs.
This wasn't the case 2 snapshots before as far as I recall.Best of luck & thanks again for a great browser!
-
This bug was introduce in the previous build. A workaround is to create a shortcut to launch Vivaldi with this command line:
vivaldi.exe /high-dpi-support=1 /force-device-scale-factor=1
-
Thanks for the update. Now, I'd really appreciate a new feature: Being able to change the text and background color in reader view. Also, a way to disable links so I can read easily.

"Users don't understand that the V icon is a clickable menu" - me neither. It seems not to be a menu: left-click, right-click, middle-click, long-click, drag-it, drag-onto-it, none of these seems to do anything. Only double-click -> closes Vivaldi, but this hardly qualifies as a menu. Don't understand - hope it's due to my lack of a second coffee early this morning

Found a small UI inconsistency: open Vivaldi, open text editor (e.g. sublime), drag a tab from Vivaldi on text editor.
Result: URL of the tab shows in text editor - cool! But also a new Vivaldi window opens with the tab. So this seems to do two things at the same time, which seems unintentional.
