Minor update to Vivaldi 1.9
-
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.
I’m sticking with Vivaldi because I love it.I went from Opera to Maxthon.
Then the “Maxthon spying” thing came out.
So I switched to Vivaldi,
And I love it.At this point, I don’t think
any of these companies care about their users.I’m sorry about my negativity,
but it’s the way I am.Perhaps I’ll change some day.**

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

**This is the browser I trust the most.
I’m sorry for venting my problems.
I know this is not a psychiatry forum/
My paranoia problems are my own.Thank you for responding to my post,
This is more than the “important” people
at Maxthon ever did.** -
@mdnjou I was a relatively early adopter of Google back in [i think it was] 1998 [maybe give or take a year; memory dims] when at that time the "go to" s/e was Alta Vista. Back then, for me at least, s/e's were a joke; it was frequently impossible to correlate the myriad results pages with anything remotely like my search string. Hence one morning when i read of this new thing called Google i keenly tried it, & whoa was it a revelation! So it was my default for many years, & gave me sterling service. Slowly slowly slowly i began to sense as the years elapsed that Google [company] was drifting from its early ethos of unicorns & dandelions to The Dark Side of aspirational world domination [teehee], & i began looking for possible alternatives. Eventually i discovered DDG, loved it [ethos, aesthetics & performance], & it's been my default for heaps of years now. I'd never go back to using "native" Google now... they're fully in Empire mode.

@Steffie A friend introduced me to the TV series "Silicon Valley" at Easter... I have since caught up all four series in just a couple of weeks. For a comical look at the likes of Google, I thoroughly recommend it!

Silicon Valley
Oh? I just searched Netflix for it, but they don't have it in their catalogue [at any of their global libraries]. Pity.
-
Yes, I know. Saying just would be nicewith one optional setting to send debug info. Chrome has it, as optional popup.

No wonder, it's from HBO. Only Fox can be worse.

Hahaha, yeah, I remember that. And the only translator that existed was babelfish.

Yep, i used that, & though i can't recall now if it was accurate or not, the attraction for me was its HHGTTG titular homage.
-
@Steffie Okay... You're now bringing back memories of porting/building NCSA Mosaic from source, maps of the core Internet backbone that still fit on one page, and sites like akebono.stanford.edu that eventually got catchier names.

@black665 Does vivaldi://gpu provide any helpful insights (or show any errors) about GPU hardware acceleration on your system?
-
@An_dz I would really appreciate if it is addressed in some way before stable 1.10 as its a long standing issue for me and boycotting amazon in protest is starting to get to me
-
@asianmusicguy It seems the issue is deeper and not just a user-agent thing. Even faking Vivaldi with Chrome for example still does not work. Patricia was looking at it together with other media patches, but I don't know if the patches are good to be included, or already included or anything.
-
@An_dz thank you guys for taking a deeper look! bless you so since it has now been identified as a deeper issue can we see about making it it somewhat of a priority I love Vivaldi and amazon is no help they give a scripted response which basically means "we are gods go away"
i suggested once that a outdated Widevine Content Decryption Module might be the cause
I am more then happy to be a genie pig for any solutions you may come up with I have never tested a browser before buit i have 4 yrars experience as a Quality Assurance Tester for a Video game software company -
