Vivaldi 1.15: Missing features
-
@burbuja Your mute button is there, before you even play a video in the tab???
-
@burbuja: Yes, and none of it addresses my biggest issues.

No, it is not. It gets visible while playing the video.
-
@burbuja: exactly what I said then. That's a problem.
-
@ronyxs: I agree, the lack of customization on the toolbar makes me more and more annoyed with each new release.
-
@burbuja: You seem to misunderstand the issue, please read carefully. The issue is that mute isn't always there. I should be able to mute a blank tab BEFORE any video is loaded. That's not currently possible.
-
@ronyxs I think it is not a bug, but "feature". I find it just logic this way. Where nothing is, nothing can be muted.
-
@ronyxs: +1 Customization is much needed. Also agree about the mute.

Not true. In Chrome and Firefox you can mute a tab regardless of what you have loaded in the tab, regardless of any audio playing or not.
-
@ronyxs: and it didn't matter if you call it a bug or a feature. It doesn't work for me, period
-
@ronyxs First: It should not start automatickly. Thats the real problem. Do you want to be able to mute a text based page?
-
@burbuja: Who is talking about text? Mute option should be available on a tab at all times, like other browsers. That's all. This is useful, when I have several videos loaded (Twitch, Youtube, and many other stream sites).
- A twitch stream may have a long silent intro. I want to be able to press mute then, but it's missing. It only shows up when the audio starts.
- Streams take breaks, or video buffers ffrequently. When the audio stops, the mute button disappears again, so I cannot mute it during that time. Problem.
Other browsers have the mute always.

Other browsers have the mute always.
Who told you that the behavior has to be the same in all browsers?
-
@burbuja: Nobody told me that, and I never said that. It's just an example of a feature that other browsers handle better than Vivaldi, that's all.
-
@ronyxs Did not you? So why do you use it as a argument and you are sure it would be a bug ...
I dont get your "logic" -
@burbuja: I never called it a bug. It's a feature that doesn't work well. This is besides the point.
-
Enough of the arguing already. I have moved the discussion to its own thread.
You can continue the "discussion" here if you must without disrupting the Blog Announcement any more.
- The Context Menu in the Bookmarks Bar, though a popular feature request, it has an easy workaround by managing bookmarks in the panel. It has been said several times by Ayespy that it will take a lot of work to fix.
- The request to Mute Tab by Default has just three upvotes. I guess it's unimportant to most users.
- I agree that Configurable Toolbars are a much wished for feature, but it will also take a lot of work.

That said, total configurability is a keystone in the original Vivaldi developer remit. Timelines are not published, (and sometimes can't even be estimated) but know the Team will not rest until things like Configurable Toolbars are a reality.

So, a page that randomly loads and plays annoying 1-second chirps cant be muted. And you find it normal. Got it.

@anrdaemon there is some work done to fix this on a deeper level.
Maybe settingvivaldi://flags/#autoplay-policy
to require user interaction already solves your problems.
It at leastshuts upimproves behaviour on YouTube for (explicitly user-created) new tabs
Still autoplays when new document is created with<a target="_blank" …/>
