Vivaldi makes History
-
@Steffie Hey screw you! I want my sync right now - why hasn't Vivaldi thought of this yet? Every other browser out there has it and if V don't sort this out in the next build then me and plenty of others will be outta here...
Oh yeah, and fix the stupid list of emoticons in this forum while you're about it! Too many of them to scroll through and "real" old smileys like :-p don't look like they should. Fix it now!!!!111!!1!!!!!1!!1!
Now I'm off to watch some videos of kittens...

@xyzzy: According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week. It is followed by Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Sunday is the 7th and final day.
But USA and Canada do not follow international standards ... -

But USA and Canada do not follow international standards ...There's a reason Sunday falls in a weekEND...
Edit: and though I'm not religious; "on the seventh day He rested"... so that would seem to be a historical authority on the question.
-
@mossman: I'm used to seeing both "Monday to Sunday" and "Sunday to Saturday" calendars. Being Canadian, I'm not trying to impose the "Sunday to Saturday" calendar on the world, just explaining the North American perspective.
-
@xyzzy I've been travelling around during my life, so to be honest I don't even know any more which calendar type I see.
(looks at phone) Okay, that starts on Monday.
(looks at Outlook (sorry - it's a work laptop, what can I say?)) Also Monday. Well then it seems Monday is the default for where I'm living these days.

@terere: Same here. Hangs here and there, it seems to hang Windows completely. Back to 1.8.770.38 and everything seems to have allright again: fast and no odd hangs.

Woah! What a feature... and out of the sudden!
It would be cool to be able to store an History-Entry directly via context-menu to the favorites instead of drag&drop it to the sidebar... -
@Gwen-Dragon
Thanks! I just request an edit-feature in the password-manager - i don't want to be too outrageous...

Hey, nice update, i have an other question, can we change the picture of the folder ? sorry for english, i am young and french but i do what i can for be understand
-
@Fanao08 Which picture of which folder? You cannot yet change the Speed Dial thumbnails. It is already in the Feature Requests thread, and has a lot of upvotes.
-
Chrome updated to 57.0.2987.133.about 23 hours ago so are we current? if not may we please have a delta update to patch if the impact is minimal ?

@xyzzy: Tell me about it. Itβs even more strange when all dates, in everything is composed as Day-Month-Year and the US is using the awkward Month-Day-Year format.
Since I do a lot of interaction with US people, I actually have my computer date set like that to force myself. For years, I canβt still get used. It still confuses me every single time because itβs completely awkward and just doesnβt not make sense to me. The biggest problem is when you have customers from all over the world, but can only decide between one date on a system. Iβm sorry to say this, but I screwed US users on that one. Even US customers receive bills as Day-Month-Year because that is what the rest of the world is using.
I thing Vivaldi probable made a similar conclusion here. Even if the US is made of a big base of users, you canβt alienate the rest of the world by going with a non-standard format just to fit one single country or region. Majority wins I guess. The US must adapt someday. The reason why most also use Monday as the starting day is because most people start to work again on Monday and so the business calendars even in the US are Monday-Friday.
I guess in the end the international format is what most have to follow for Internet related stuff or if you have global users.
-
@terere I do agree with what you said, except for the "adaptation" part. I think that in this particular case, no matter how weird and counter-intuitive the US date format seem to us, it's the browser's job to adapt to the user - not the other way around.
-
They do, but not from what most people probably thing. Some come from the old Norse days:
http://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/pagan-gods-and-naming-days-001037Its even more striking in German where Freitag is even more similar to Freya or the translation is exactly Day of Freya or Donnerstag which means exactly Day of Thunder (Thor).
Same story with Christmas or Easter. They all come from the Germanic/Nordic era and most people are completely unaware of it. Christians adopted some of their culture so they could assimilate faster. Even so they never gave up some of their roots, women are still highly valued and respected in Nordic societies and again that comes from the Viking era where women where equal to men.
-
@Sprofy What are they suppose to fix? Twitter videos work fine here (Tested in Vivaldi 1.8.770.50 (Stable) / 1.8.770.46 (Snapshot) - both 32-bit on Windows 10 x64).

It's so shameful that in so many countries & cultures still today, so many troglodytes continue to rail against this basic tenet of equality. Humans; such a weird species...

url autocomplete feels terrible now no matter what settings. Will not use frequently used urls and seems to default to random bookmarks instead. Always prefer bookmarks on or off.

Love this new version. I came up with a new workaround for Yahoo MaIl sending me back to Classic Mail. The User-Agent Switching caused me to have to workaround Inbox as well, so I found this. Instead of going to Yahoo Mail directly, go to the Yahoo home page. Click open one of your Yahoo emails from the pulldown and open it. Takes you to the standard Yahoo email layout! Yay! Viva Vivaldi!
-
@mab52: YES!!! That did the trick perfectly! No more 90's horrible design!
Thanks a lot, my friend!
