displaced OldeOpera users coming home
I feel that nicely sums up the reaction so many of us felt, with the advent of V. Thank goodness!

I do not care what you collect! I'm no criminal! Do not have nothing to hide! I
Oh come on! That is, with respect, rubbish. It is a feeble argument to assert a false nexus between non-criminality & having no care at all about privacy. By your logic, you'd therefore have no worries about making all your account passwords, including banking, visible to others... after all, why not -- you're not a criminal!
-
@jon Oh nooooooo. I'm devastated that Oz ain't leading the field.
-
@g_bartsch No need, it's already in the Bug Tracker.
Edit:
It's one of the oldest, VB-1509, created by @jon himself -
@Otavnt Food for thought... I understand that people are concerned about their privacy and find it unsettling that Vivaldi "phones home" once a day. They install a dozen extensions to protect their privacy online... and yet they're totally okay checking in with Google on a regular basis to keep those privacy extensions up to date?!?
-
@xyzzy Not to mention
phoning in every site we visit with Google Phishing and Malware Protection turned on. -
Maybe Vivaldi uses a local cache ? (https://developers.google.com/safe-browsing/v4/update-api)
Then it would only phone home to google when one of the sites on the list is visited; that's better for privacy and performance than contacting Google on every request.
Anyone to confirm/deny this?
-
@IcePanther I think you may be right!
There are safe browsing files in AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data
Glad i brought it up ..
This is probably why the Report Safe Browsing Incidents to Google option is a separate checkbox, disabled by default. Without a local list, they would already know. This way nothing is sent, only downloaded periodically i guess.
-
@mdnjou I'm just trying to put things into the right perspective. We trust Vivaldi enough in the first place to use their browser for normal day-to-day browsing and our most sensitive communications. If Vivaldi provided a check box that said "Count me as a Vivaldi user", I'm totally okay with checking it. If they didn't, it's still really one of the lessor things for me to get upset about in the grand scheme of things.
Sincerely, Mac user in Canada.

@rhstogus: That continues to be our focus as well. You can help us by reporting issues, if you see a pattern to any CPU spikes.
A little tip is to try hibernating tabs. If you have a lot, that can be quite useful.

@Otavnt
I've heard about DuckDuckGo being moderately successful some time ago but now the buzz has somewhat died down.
Well they're not doubling their numbers at the moment, but it's the default for me!
They have a fun timeline on the about page.searches a day:
feb 2012 - 1 million
june 10, 2013 - 2 million
june 17, 2013 - 3 million
feb 2014 - 5 million
june 2015 - 10 million
feb 2017 - 15 million#ComeToTheDuckSide
More people use it, the better it gets. -
1.9.818.49 sometimes freezes after being idle for a time. Window can be moved, but no response to mouse clicks. Must be killed and restarted. Sorry to be so vague--it's an intermittent problem. (Fatdog710 linux)
-
Unfortunately, userstyles.org is still broken. You can no longer use the install button with the stylish or stylus addons. This problem was introduced with 1.9
Also, I was trying to upload images to kijiji and every time I double clicked on an image in the open dialog, it would not upload the image and instead just keep reopening the open dialog. This was not an issue in the previous 1.9 release.

...yet I still have my doubts about having Vivaldi phone home every 24 hours
**I have given up at this point.
I assume our every move is being watched.The question is if the browser is good or not.
Iโm sticking with Vivaldi because I love it.I went from Opera to Maxthon.
Then the โMaxthon spyingโ thing came out.
So I switched to Vivaldi,
And I love it.At this point, I donโt think
any of these companies care about their users.Iโm sorry about my negativity,
but itโs the way I am.Perhaps Iโll change some day.**

Alright, I will keep that in mind when I try Vivaldi again soon.

**This is the browser I trust the most.
Iโm sorry for venting my problems.

My paranoia problems are my own.Thank you for responding to my post,
This is more than the โimportantโ people
at Maxthon ever did.**
