Vivaldi 1.11 – Focus on accessibility

Ayespy

@gruz7848 The email client is still under use, testing and refinement internally. It's not a big project. It's a huge one. It will be released when it's ready.

Thank you for your PERSONAL OPINION on the icon. Unless/until the designers decide on something different, it will remain.

@Ayespy
This is not only my PERSONAL OPINION. Read carefully this blog and you will see that most people have the same opinion.

luetage

@gruz7848 That's a vocal minority. If you really dislike the icon that much you can easily exchange it wherever it is used.

Pesala

@gruz7848 There is no right and wrong in matters of personal taste. You're entitled to your personal opinion, but you're in the minority. Most users could not care less.

Save this to your desktop and make a shortcut.

@gruz7848 Then i'm in your "minority", coz i like the squircle [even its name pleases me].

The new icon's fine, I think a new icon can just take a while to get used to - I grew quite attached to the old one mainly because not being based on a circle made it stand out from other browsers; but I didn't think it was anything particularly special at first - and it's the same with this new icon, it's fine and I'm sure it'll grow on people.

@Gwen-Dragon I think people like me who do not like the squircle (I think it's too messy and much less clear what it's showing - especially when it's small) probably don't care enough to actually complain.

But I bet if you ran a poll, there would be quite a lot of us.

Gratz with update! Old clean square design icon I liked more. (new looks like android or iPhone) app Still waiting sync.

@josephj11
Some kind of floating look, with some transparency would be fine too.

@luetage
Do you count? 'Vocal minority', 'silent majority'. All of this bullshit usually said by people who have nothing more to say. ))
Forgive my bad english.

luetage

@gruz7848 You are angry because a few pixels got changed. Get your priorities together. And as said, if it is really that important to you, just go on and change the icon yourself. Your complaints will lead to nothing.

Sorry to be so direct, I'm testing vivaldi 2 months ago, but if you consume more RAM than Google Chrome, why choose it as an internet browser?

Ayespy

@Xandher20 Because it does things for me that Chrome can't do. Further, if I added enough extensions to Chrome to accomplish (most of) the things I need, it would use far more resources than Vivaldi does.

@ayespy: Hello Ayespy
There are extensions that are fundamental, to avoid publicity (many of this virus) and in my case that I am software developer there are some extensions that are very important to my work. Do you know of any way to meet these needs without sacrificing RAM?

Ayespy

@Xandher20 All extensions require CPU cycles and RAM. For MY needs as it happens, I am able to run without extensions because I use Vivaldi. You need to do what works best for you.

Of course my view is that if something is fundamental, it should be built in to the browser, and not require add-ons and additional resources. In some respects, Vivaldi aims in that direction as well. Functions, features, options that people need should be built in.

At the same time, work is being done to reduce Vivaldi's resource footprint.

@An_dz I really don't know. I just access the page and it gives me that message whenever I enter it.
Tried everything and YM still doesn't recognize Viv as a supportable browser... OK, I could accept its claim and use the classic mail but, it would be like a time travel to beginnings of the internet, of dial-up time... So, no, thanks. I'll stick to FF or Chrome meanwhile.

@Xandher20 said in Vivaldi 1.11 – Focus on accessibility:

Oh wow, logic par excellence!

Says whom that the sole prerequisite for a user choosing a browser is RAM consumption? For goodness sake! Personally i place exceedingly greater weight on functionality, customisability, integrity, privacy, flexibility, aesthetics, & community.

The one bug I've been waiting to be fixed, has yet to be fixed; and it's a small bug . That bug being, when Show Address Bar is toggled OFF, I can't create a bookmark.

CassetteTape

Quick Commands are VERY sluggish after the update, disabling "history entries" in settings is a quickfix, though I would like to see this fixed in a future update if possible...

Hmm. Updater tells me I'm up-to-date with 1.11, but the About window tells me I'm on 1.10.8...
Bigger issue is http://itunes.apple.com never spawns a download. Had to download Chrome to get the iTunes application to download.
