Settings

Why did you removed access to settings using the following path: vivaldi://vivaldi-urls>vivaldi://settings in the newer snapshot(v.1.10.856.16 )?
v.1.10.845.3
Sorry to say but I'm disappointed. I hope that you'll revert the changes you made.
-
@tandrot8 Why such a long URL? What's wrong with vivaldi://settings ?
-
@tandrot8 (And, BTW, that new internal URL interface is a Chromium thing, not Vivaldi. So it could be that the intake of Chromium 59 broke the URL that you like so much.)

The blue page looks more beautiful for me though.
Blue lover.The new Chrome UI may look nice but it's a train wreck from a usability perspective. At least with the old UI, you could see/confirm settings at a glance. Now, you have to drill down into sub-menus to see individual parameters. It also has a distinct look that clashes (even more) with the native UI of every major (non-Google) OS. I'm very curious to see how users will react when Chrome 59 gets released later this week.
-
@iAN-CooG Confirmed. Select/right-click/go on vivaldi://vivaldi-urls doesn't work on OS X either.
-
@tandrot8 Confirmed on OS X as well.
The vivaldi://settings link in vivaldi://vivaldi-urls takes me to the
chrome://settings
page.Entering
vivaldi://settings
into the URL bar takes me to the Vivaldi settings page, as it should.Doing a select/right-click/go on
vivaldi://settings
takes me to Chrome settings page. -
@dLeon Yet another reason for Chrome users to switch to Vivaldi! (Due to the awful UI, not the colour, just to be clear...)
-
@Ayespy Using vivaldi://settings gives the vivaldi settings window, correct ?
Using vivaldi://vivaldi-urls and then clicking on vivaldi://settings gives the chromium settings window.
I use from time to time chromium settings window to modify different settings and clean browsing history,cache, etc. One time I noticed after accessing chromium Clear Browsing Data that I had data on Cache images and files and on Download history, although I used Clear Browsing Data from vivaldi. -
@dLeon I tested what you posted. I confirm the links. Noticed that when I pasted the address vivaldi://chrome/settings it redirects to older Chromium look settings page.
-
@tandrot8 Ah. The "vivaldi://" prefix in front of the chrome settings address is unnecessary. To get to the "chrome" style page, you need merely input chrome://settings .
-
@Vivaldi-Team Can you confirm the following:
Vivaldi started in incognito mode: entering chrome://settings gives you:Vivaldi started in normal mode: entering chrome://settings gives you:
Is this a Vivaldi bug?
-
@tandrot8 Vivaldi Team reads here when they can, and for the most part do not post here. I'll test and see what I get. It strikes me, though, that if incognito mode is working properly, it should not detect who you are and should offer no services.
On the other hand, what you are looking at is NOT a Vivaldi interface, and it includes invalid entries which do not apply to Vivaldi and will not work in Vivaldi (like the invitation to sign in for sync services.) You could call this a "bug" because Vivaldi should not show you anything that does not belong to the browser - but to be fair, you are cheating and viewing a Chromium page, not a Vivaldi one.
-
@tandrot8 OK - so I tested it, and it works the same way here. Pretty much the way I would expect it to work at this stage of development.
-
@Ayespy Since the core of Vivaldi is Chromium I don't understand why I shouldn't be able to see/access the Chromium's pages/windows. Why is this cheating?
Vivaldi built an interface on top of the Chromium, made some very good additions and modifications that allows users to do things that you can't do in other chromium based browsers, except maybe Opera.
I know that Vivaldi's developers want/try to hide some or all pages/windows of Chromium, which for some users doesn't matter, but for power users (maybe)matter because they can access some settings and tweak the browser how they want.

When an interface is built "on top" of an engine, while the engine's settings panel may continue to exist and function in various ways, tweaking with it may produce unexpected or undesired results since the settings involved may or may not conflict with similar things being done in the added interface layer. This is particularly true when the interface layer is being designed by people who aren't designing the engine itself, and who may not test for every conceivable engine settings interaction with the added interface layer if such engine settings are not being directly supported nor explored.
-
@Blackbird Just to highlight another area where this gets complicated, the Chrome Settings UI is the only place where some Privacy and Security settings can be changed by the user. Vivaldi does not provide a UI for some settings, e.g. to control prediction/link pre-fetching, yet this setting can also be overridden by privacy extensions like uBlock Origin via the chrome.privacy API.
-
@dLeon I see.
