Chromium 70 update – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1322.4
-
Re: VB-44108... FYI, since this snapshot got released, the devs have done additional work to disable even more of the underlying Account Consistency code. Changes in Chromium 70 should also allow the auth cookies to be cleared, so hopefully this won't be an issue for too much longer.

@stardust Mea culpa & mega-apologies for wasting your time. I've now edited my previous posts to strike-out the nonsense i wrote. In fact, though i was looking at the right general location, i was one level higher up than i should have been. According now i see, & share your unhappiness about:
Foolishly, i had only been looking in
vivaldi://settings/content/cookies

@steffie vivaldi://settings/siteData ? doesn't work for me. It redirects to vivaldi://settings . Does anybody have an idea why?
-
@rhk Try
chrome://settings/siteData

chrome://settings/siteData
Thanks!

@stardust: What does vivaldi://flags/#account-consistency flag say? Is it at default?
-
Can we please get some entry in the settings about globally disabling images ? vivaldi://settings/content shows nothing and one who is not tech savvy enough won't ever guess that he has to enter chrome://settings/content to access it.
-
@npro FYI, you can access Site Settings and global Content settings by clicking on the icon on the left side of the URL box and selecting "Site settings" from the dropdown... but further to your point, there definitely should be an easier and more obvious way(s) to access these settings through the Vivaldi UI.
-
@xyzzy thanks, I know that but this concerns the settings of the current site in the first place, then you have to click on the left arrow to go to the global content settings. I think a more visible option in the settings or giving an option to do it with the image icon in the status bar (toggle images and animation) would be better.
Disabling images globally is useful in cases where you want to conserve bandwidth, say you are taking your laptop to a place where you have limited Internet via a USB stick.
-
@gtj0 Me too but I never get info like you've posted.
-
@npro Your suggestions for adding an option to disable the loading of images in Settings (and making it simpler/easier to disable globally) are quite valid.

Yes
-
@stardust Strange. Does it work if you set it to disabled?
-
@an_dz no effect
-
@stardust Do you have any other flag changed?
-
@an_dz all flags are set to default.
I've also tested standalone version 1322.4 on windows 7 yesterday (fresh installation). Undeletable google cookies were there. -
@stardust I installed this snapshot and it really does not work. It appears that the fix did not actually got in this snapshot, so let's wait for the next one because in Sopranos builds it's fixed.

I installed snapshot 1322.4 using the Linux shell script because the x64 RPM wouldn't install (dependency problem as indicated in my earlier posts to this thread).
After the first time it crashed snapshot 1322.4 would not maximize. I logged out of the X server then started the X server again, but snapshot 1322.4 still would not maximize. I rebooted the box, then snapshot 1322.4 would maximize.
The second time snapshot 1322.4 crashed then would not maximize, rebooting the box did not help. Not being able to maximize the browser window is not to my liking, so I used the Linux shell script to uninstall snapshot 1322.4 and I am using snapshot 1317.4 again.
Fully patched Mageia Linux 6.0 64-bit, 4.14.70-desktop-2.mga6 kernel.

Hope this is a known bug: sometimes pages freeze for a long time when loading, and when they do, the whole browser goes unresponsive untill that one tab finally fully loads up. Can't really give any example link 'cause it's happening on just random sites (once or twice but not consistently).
-
@cail There's not much that can be done about slow loading / locked up pages, but they shouldn't be affecting the whole browser UI. I reported this as a bug already.
It seems to only be an issue when the tab is focused, so if it's stuck but in the background it doesn't cause the problem.
