Vivaldi 1.9 – Plant trees as you browse
-
@xyzzy:
It probably always depends on what one considers "high". Starting Vivaldi and only opening this page makes Vivaldi consume about 1 GB of RAM on my Debian system. Every additonal tab (no videos, just text and a few pictures) adds about 300 MB. I think that is high considering the task.
Vivaldi's CPU usage does not seem high to me. -
@ghpy On my Mac, each helper/renderer is currently using between 115MB and 200MB of virtual memory according to Vivaldi's task manager. (These are for "typical" web pages; text with some pictures.) Physical memory usage, according to the macOS Activity Monitor, is considerably less.
I'm using uBlock0 and have done a few tweaks via Settings/Preferences to disable a few Vivaldi features that I don't need but haven't done anything extreme to minimize memory usage.

@rseiler: A regression is something that used to work and now doesn't. This never worked in the first place.
Fixing a regression is easier because it used to work and you just need to check what has broken it.
Fixing something that never worked is harder as you need to figure out what to change.
Never worked? The whole time I used Vivaldi as a regular browser, since late last year, it worked. There was a clear difference in behavior after 1.7. Some people did mention that they first saw a problem a long time ago, but that they only rarely saw it since then, if at all.
The tab-stack variation that I mentioned in detail, which doesn't even involve tab cycling per se but clearly must be related to it given the context of the issue, was brand-new behavior to me and highly noticeable in 1.8 once I figured out what was going on. I could go back to 1.7 right now and use it all day long and never see it, yet it always happens in 1.8/1.9.
That would seem a regression.

I just updated but I am still unable to move around or re-position the extensions!
Same here, though if you try it a dozen or two times, I think you'll find that you're able to change maybe one or two, right? Not sure what's going on.

@quhno: Thank you very much for the link. Indeed the "Restore defaults" throws away any custom search engines, very annoying.
-
Where are the servers of Ecosia? It always bothered me that DuckDuckGo's server are in the US... I still use DDG because of the lack of any real alternatives.
-
@rseiler: Nope. Can't move any that I have in the bar.
-
@Schiller I read somewhere that they use Bing.
-
@Schiller: Germany, near as I can tell.

@rseiler: I'm the original reporter of the bug that cycling through tab stacks gets crazy and I reported it a long time ago. Maybe it was fixed in 1.7 and I did not notice but I remember seeing this behaviour in a long time.

@hub965:
In bookmarks panel: Below the search field there's a bar showing the current sorting. Click on it.In bookmarks bar: Right click an empty area. It's a menu item.
In bookmarks manager: Just click in one of the titles, like in most file explorers.

I think the problem must have expanded in 1.8 then--or it's simply a new problem that's related--because like I described in that thread, the behavior when switching between tabs in stacks with the '1' and '2' keys changed (somewhat different than cycling) demonstrably between 1.8 and several earlier builds if not all earlier builds. Others there were more attuned to cycling in particular (I don't use it enough to know) and also noted the sudden difference.
This isn't to say that some earlier version of the problem didn't exist, as you know, but it suddenly got worse, and/or a close cousin joined it.

@kamarade: thanks for adding it manually, the restore tip didn't work for you?
Disadvantage of restore: All own search engines must be re-added by hand - I fished my Ecosia string from a clean profile too.
For all who want to do that too, the search string is:
https://www.ecosia.org/search?tt=vivaldi&q=%sI'm glad I have read these comments! I was about to "restore" the searches. I have 5--10 custom searches.
As Dantesoft says, it's better to call it "factory-reset" instead of "restore", I think.

https://www.ecosia.org/search?tt=vivaldi&q=%sOh and do you know the default search nickname? I don't want to use a different nickname in case I may "restore" the searches or clean-install Vivaldi in the future.

An_dz, I did as you said -"In bookmarks panel: Below the search field there's a bar showing the current sorting. Click on it.
In bookmarks bar: Right click an empty area. It's a menu item.
In bookmarks manager: Just click in one of the titles, like in most file explorers." But there was a problem - subfolders in folders are also arranged in alphabetical order, that is, mixed with regular pages. In the same Opera, everything happens automatically according to the rank.

Sorry for the repeating postings, but, I've realized that the "quote" button produces this strange quotation. I expected "quote" produces a single quotation, but as you can see in the above, it produced one quotation per paragraph. . . .

An_dz! And you did not answer the question about data synchronization.

It seems that in 1.9.818.40 I don't have ability to change the order of your extensions in the address bar, at least I cannot do that. So I have to wait for next snapshot to get this long waited feature

In Settings/Appearance check "use animation" else they don't move.
when you finished reordering them, you can uncheck the animation option if you want, the extensions will retain the order you want. -
finally that annoying history/bookmark autocompletion gone
