FUBAR is military slang from the WWII era. I learned it in fourth grade. Frankly, I'm a little stunned there is still anyone who had not heard of it. Learn something every day.
Know where the name Jeep comes from? Again, the military. Shortened form of "GP" for "General Purpose Vehicle."
And yeah, broad-based competence is vanishing. Thank God I learned everything growing up from how to cook and sew, to how to use language and do math, to world history, to how to build and farm and shoot and how to fix anything from a car to a radio to an ill-behaved dog or horse. People don't know things any more - and frankly there's no good reason why not.

My father is a WW2 1st. LT very proud and no one in this town ever spoke of it. I'm in SW Kansas with a very good education where no one spoke of military or in military assume nothing. As I said my classmate from here was Randall Issac VP of IBM R&D for 20 years or so so NOT a backwards area just different upbringing,
This is a EVANGELICAL hard core Mennonite town and area ( not cloistered but close ) I was not and am not. Wichita airbase is 200 miles from here Amarillo is 200 Miles from here Colo springs is 300+, Ft Riley 180+ so different up-bringing. My Mother an English teacher would have NEVER allowed such tomfoolery in the house you were doomed if you did not speak the Kings English. I am thankful she was that way and it didn't hurt me it to bad it didn't take as well as it should have. Might do well to go back to some of that and I know they have always said that but it isn't same they learned of old NOT threw it away cause they were smart enough to know they might need it someday. No such luck now.

"Frankly, I'm a little stunned there is still anyone who had not heard of it" –> really? I'm pretty surprised that you're surprised. I respectfully suggest to you that this acronym might possibly be specifically / primarily an american, &/or military-culture, "thing". I assure you that here in oz [or [i]down-under if some prefer] this term is certainly not common idiom [it [i]might be within oz military circles, but as my existence occurs entirely independent of those, i'm only guessing & maybe it's also rare there too].
IMHO FWIW AFAIK HHGTTG MPFC MTFBWY this term might be another example of american people, steeped obviously in their own culture & history, presuming that other countries & cultures somehow picked it up by osmosis or infiltration. It works backwards too, of course… i'd expect many aussies to instantly comprehend my target if i referred to septics, & i think many pommies would also probably understand, but i suspect the subset of septics familiar with this rhyming slang allusion would likely be somewhat small… unless they'd lived for a while in england or oz.
Not trying to be nasty or argumentative here, BTW, just trying to help a wider comprehension.

I'm just gonna be foolhardy & go out on a limb to say… this SS is simply delightful. OMZ but V is coming along nicely!! Two of the more recent innovations / fixes in particular, naming tab groups & background-opened tab thumbnails, are making me feel just sooooooo chuffed
Ta Devs.

MOM (Steffie): Wow…touche to the heart ,well written and agree.
Brought tears to my eyes cause my Mom was original womans libber..what she went through. Thanks. Passed away and miss her dearly 1919-2008, sorry people. -
I really like this SS also just having problems with it somewhere that I am NOT having with FF. And not proficient enough to help,sorry. ReBooted and same.
Worked on things awhile and MP3 download area shows now. I really don't think it was Viv total fault but strange it was as close to same time period as a person could get. Checing before AND after never was there but correct with FF. The ONLY explanation is my computer had upset stomach or ghost choose what you prefer. Makes me leery of going back to Viv when working though.
Seems more like rendering small but important PART of webpage problem.

Of course it's American. So is Dovelove. That's the context. Had he been anything else, the comment would never have occurred to me. Perhaps I should have said anyone (born in the US).
-
I like this SS as well. Ran into something backstage today that I'll actually be kind of excited to see included in a public snapshot - see how the public reacts. I'm perhaps overly jazzed about it, and some people may think "so what?" But still I want it to see the light of day.

Ooooh, you big tease!!

I really like the way things are going in Vivaldi, but for some reason the 1.6 SS have had a bit erratic CPU usage. It's usually down, but sometimes it'll spike up a bit with some tabs using 2-3% per tab. Some of these tabs are Facebook and Gmail, while the main Vivaldi process gets about 3-4% CPU use.
Is this a Chromium 55 thing? Is it that 55 isn't stable yet?

I know. Right?

I've had a positive experience with Chrome 55 (currently using 55.0.2883.87) and Chrome 56-beta on OS X. However, this latest Vivaldi snapshot has been a bit glitchy even without any extensions. Chrome also feels faster and more responsive, and definitely uses less memory on OS X.
I've never seen the CPU spikes that you've seen on either Chrome or Vivaldi. I don't use Facebook so I can't offer any feedback for comparison. Chromium and Gmail were made to work well with one another so I don't think it's to blame.
Do you still see these spikes if you selectively disable extensions?

There are so many different hardware configurations these days, each trying to achieve speed and/or efficiency in their own ways, processor core numbers vs core speed, vs RAM, vs onboard graphics vs dedicated graphics cards; AMD or Intel; Windows or OSX or Linux; 32-bit systems or 64-bit, etc., etc., that one hardly knows what to expect any more concerning how a browser like Vivaldi is going to interact with this or that machine. Just in my office alone, I have six boxes with six different configurations and four OSes, and on the surface, all but one appear to run Vivaldi about the same way, while the resource demands on each are sometimes quite different. On one dual-boot machine (Win7 and Lubuntu) with exceedingly weak resources - 3 GHz dual-core processor and maxed out at 2 GB RAM, Vivaldi runs beautifully under Windows and terribly under Lubuntu, which is supposed to be a much better manager of resources.
So I'm just saying, you never can tell.

Those are valid points. From a Vivaldi perspective, you also have to factor in Chromium as part of the platform. If a Chromium release is glitchy, Vivaldi won't run any better. If the Chromium base is solid but Vivaldi isn't, then we have to figure out why.
When comparing Chrome/Chromium vs Vivaldi, my approach is to install a Chrome release, de-crapify it by removing their bundled Apps and Extensions, and to try to assess the quality and stability of a release and its resource consumption with real-world testing. I use that data as a baseline when assessing Vivaldi in the same way. From there, I can only report my findings based on my usage on my system; your mileage may vary.

(VB-23099) Vivaldi freezes when playing non fullscreened youtube videos
This bug still exists and is incredibly annoying to the point I have to use Firefox for watching youtube. Turning hardware acceleration off fixes it but that creates a heap of other video related problems.
This happens only on my desktop configuration (as described in the bug report) even with a clean profile.
-
Unfortunately this seems like an engine issue as it does happen with chrome as well

SNAFU.

Exactly.
