Latest snapshot breaks the start page link
-
Hi all, I have been using Vivaldi with FVD Speed Dial for a while now without any problems. I downloaded the latest snapshot (1.8.770.32) and it has managed to break this extension a little. Neither a new tab nor pressing the home page will load the FVD speed dial page up.
I saw this thread in the forum about a similar issue, but using chrome://newtab/ does not work. Using the full extension path (chrome-extension://llaficoajjainaijghjlofdfmbjpebpa/newtab.html#) does work for new tabs but not home page.
If I did use chrome://newtab/ as a home page, if I select a bookmark, the speed dial page will briefly show up, before going onto the bookmark I just selected.

Yes, it's a bit of a mess. I also saw the problem of "http://" being added to the to the chrome-extension://.... address. Deleting it made no difference unfortunately.
I'm not sure if I need to raise this as a bug, or whether it will be picked up by Vivaldi staff in this forum.

Developers have redirected access to the newtab address. They are working on options to make Speed Dial extensions work while "newtab" in Vivaldi does not take you to the Chromium version of New Tab.

@dLeon I upgraded to 1.8.770.38, according to your settings, but does not work. This problem is expected to Vivaldi staff can solve, can not use dial-up expansion really troublesome.

It's a bit inconceivable to me that after all this time, the bookmark sync is not operational. This is a browser aimed at power users, many of whom use multiple machines. But it is what it is.
However, until the bookmark sync is in place, new tab extensions such as FVD or Papaly are the solution that provides always synced bookmarks. So a "feature" that removes this functionality is basically a showstopper since I lose access to bookmarks. It's been 2 updates since this issue has been introduced and no fix in sight. Please address this. It's not a minor annoyance. It's forcing me to use other browsers. -
@Briarned Same as you。

@spanakop On a similar note, I'm back on 1.7.735.46 (the stable channel), and I have the home button set to take me to the speed dial page. This does NOT work from some pages. It works from settings ( have it set to open in a tab, not a window), but not from the bookmarks or history tabs accessible through the top of the speed dial. It also doesn't work if you're in a regular subfolder of the speed dial.

Looks like this is fixed in the latest snapshot (1.10.829.3), at last
