@npro: Uhm, no.
-
Is it just me, or does the
vivaldi://about
page got a subtle facelift? -
@ian-coog: After a few minutes of using the snapshot, this does seem to be fixed. Hopefully it stays fixed for here on out. Vivaldi without mouse gestures is painful.
-
@pafflick Font size or something else I didn't notice?
-
@pafflick: Which one? It seems that typing vivaldi://about redirects to chrome://about, which is displayed as vivaldi://about in the address bar.
Using the help menu to go to vivaldi://about looks (as far as I can tell) roughly the same.
-
@christoph142: oh yes
-
Wow! Mouse gestures and switching tabs by wheel now work really better. And switching even works when a page is loading.
Only one bug requires fix still - context menu opens after switching tab done (important condition: 'Show tab Cycler' option should be disabled.

Wow, what a huge performance increase. Websites load much faster on macOS 10.14. Is this caused by the Chromium update?
Great job guys -
@ornorm Go ahead, find the differences:

@lonm said in Chromium 70 update – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1322.4:
It seems that typing vivaldi://about redirects to chrome://about, which is displayed as vivaldi://about in the address bar.
It never happened to me, I always got the same page either by typing this URL to the address bar or by clicking the respective menu item.
-
@pafflick That's very strange. I just tried it again, and
vivaldi://about
works correctly now. I must have not been paying attention earlier. -
will 2.0 stable also can be updated to chrome70?
-
@lonm But still it's a mystery how you got there - especially that I use this page quite often, so I should've come across it too.
-
@rtransformation: No 2.0 will not use Chrom<em>ium</em> 70
-
-
@becm: If it is in Chromium, it should in ours. AV1 is an open codec, so no need for us to switch it off
-
@lonm if you use the context menu > "Go to ..." it opens the chrome:about page for some reason
-
@rtransformation Usually, "only" security patches will be backported to stable.
