Chromium 70 update – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1322.4
-
This is very annoying regression since 1.15: silent forced exit of browser on closing particular pages of SAP NetWeaver web portal.
-
@13-beta2: true for both stable and ss
-
@t0yz I've never investigated it, but for me, the notifications were never appearing in the action center. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that I use a standalone installation of Vivaldi, but to be honest - I have no idea.
Using Vivaldi Vivaldi Stable 2.0.1309.29 (64-bit) on Windows 10 ver. 1803 (x64).

What a terrible(!) update, at least for me. Fortunately I made a backup before upgrading so I can easily compare startup on 1317.4 and 1322.4 with the same tabs. I have about 50 tabs open.
First thing is that all the tabs containing videos now start playing long before the page rendering is complete and I can mute or stop those tabs. It also takes much longer before the browser starts responding which corresponds to the screenshot below, showing cpu load, where the first and last peaks belong to the startup of 1317.4 and the middle two to 1322.4 (and remain at 100% load longer than the other ones). Also, after loading cpu-load remains at about 30% with 1322.4 but drops to below 10% (of which some will be other processes) with 1317.4Memory usage for 1322.4 is also about 3 GB higher (out of my total 16 GB) than with 1317.4:

@marcos-ps: Confirmed. Mildly annoying change if indeed intentional.
-
@pafflick They would appear just fine with the flag enabled on 1803 (full install x64). But only after you would start the browser. I guess if you want realtime you'd need to start Vivaldi on boot and always have it in the background.
Now they appear normally in the down-right corner, nothing in the action center. Makes me sad.Maybe somebody can take a look at this. Really liked the centralized notifications.

Posting this again from the previous snapshot, thread got closed a short time after posting there. And even though I got one reply there IS a difference despite the numbers as he said shows otherwise.
Seems like I found a slight UI design bug from 2.0 and onwards regarding the address-bar: below the address/search-field there is 1px less padding/spacing than above which makes it look inconsistent. If you cant see it at first then try highlighting either the address-field or the search-field, the outlining makes it easy to see less padding on the bottom.
Reminds me of similar issues in old Presto Opera, didn't look good. Although small it does impact the impression of the design style imo.Here is a pic of an older version and here it is correct:

Another change from previous snapshot is the Youtube videos opened with middle click in a background tab start playing. They didn't do that in the past. Tabs also don't seem to hibernate on their own.
Can this behavior be changed? I liked how I could open a few Youtube videos and they'd start playing once I went to their tab. This new behavior would force me to pause each video.
-
@kened Very, very involved implementation (it is written for an entirely different kind of UI) and not yet a high priority.

I must concur, never once would I get a notification appear within action centre, only now since this update OR the fact that Build 18252 for fast ring windows insiders just got released has enabled this functionality, very strange.

@addy Did you try to fiddle with
vivaldi://flags/#enable-native-notifications
? It's probably the answer. -
@pafflick No I've not, I've not touched the flags since I first started using vivaldi.
-
@addy I know, I rather asked: Did you try to do so, in order to bring back the original behaviour?
-
@pafflick No aha, I've no care for push notifications, if anything now that you've shown me this flag I shall promptly disable the functionality, I think I may recall seeing push notifications prior to this but it was long ago and they looked very different and acted much more out of the way (they were white iirc), these ones are the default windows 10 looking ones that you'd see with their mail app and all those, they are very abrupt and in your face, I really doubt I need to have a notification taking up the bottom right quarter of my screen and beeping at me just to let me know someone liked a comment on youtube, lol.
-
@addy With the flag enabled the native notifications (in Action Center) worked fine on RS4/1803/previous snapshot. I find the notifications appearing all together in one place nicer to deal with, it's more organized instead of each app having its own.
Downloaded files, youtube likes/comments etc., all appeared in the Action Center previously, not anymore. -
why did noone mentioned up until now, that the nasty screenshot-only-the-visible-part-of-the-screen bug is fixed? hooray!
-
@derday I am sure it was listed in the changelog of one of the Snapshots.
-
@pesala link or it didn't happen
-
@derday It's "fixed" with a workaround as I understand it. I think there's ongoing work to get it fixed "for reals."

@ayespy ok, thx for the info
