Vivaldi 2.2: Focus on details
-
One of the best updates I've ever read for Vivaldi ... I'm quite sad I don't use it since I don't like the technology it's built on top (Chromium + Node + React = a very ugly nightmare for me ), but I'm happy to see that it exists
However there's an error in the article:
Time travel with a middle-click
The Address toolbar also gained a powerful new feature. Long-click on one of the history navigation buttons (e.g. Back or Forward) to bring up the sub-menu, then middle-click an entry to open it in a new tab.
No other browser makes it so easy for you to travel quickly through your timeline, without the need to leave the page you are currently viewing.
I use Firefox actually, and it works exactly as you described here
However, congrats for your release

Chromium + Node + React
Unless I'm mistaken, Vivaldi just uses chromium and react. It doesn't need to use node as chromium already has a javascript engine within it.

Nope... Vivadi uses node.js too ... however it isn't the point ... simply I don't like a browser built with web (inefficient) technologies, and I don't like Chromium itself (and I like "file based" software)... but It's only a personal taste, so good for all the people who love it

@Engelium True. With JS it's certainly never going to be as fast as a totally native UI.
For my use though I quite like being able to change Vivaldi "on the fly", which is only possible due to the dynamic nature of writing it using HTML & JS.

I don't get it. Time travel with a "middle-click" is either wrong or misleading, unless here "middle click" is not meaning middle mouse button (that is, the mouse wheel, for me) but then I don't get what it means
While "Long-click on one of the history navigation buttons (e.g. Back or Forward) to bring up the sub-menu," doesn't even specify right or left click.
I had to split this hair in 4 because I was actually trying keeping middle mouse clicked on back arrow while the list appears keeping left mouse button clicked, or simply clicking right mouse button. -

@iAN-CooG Middle click (mousewheel) opens history forward or backward in a new tab. If you use the middle click the menu won't appear.

Congratulations for this great year which ends with this great release.
I hope you will perform well too on mobiles in 2019.

Love it! Although one minor thing: I think the setting to show the search field on Start Page should appear in the Start Page settings, not just the Search settings
-
@tanamraam3714: or even both while at it? it's a search setting, that makes a search field appear in the start page. (Insert Inception meme here)

Thank you, and congratulations for this release.
It's been very stable so far and all the new features are welcome.
Btw. I couldn't help but notice the main image of this post: are we going to get new icons soon because I see the shape of the "Home" button has changed a little; the door is rounder as well as the little arrowhead of the "Refresh" button?
-
Perfect!!

Hopefully M3 in 2019

Thanks for all that you do! As a relatively new user I've been delighted to continue to find ways to better meet my specific needs. However, there's one REALLY big customization you're missing which is the ability to toggle rendering engines. With the recent demise of Edge's, using Firefox's engine becomes even more critical for the sake of protecting an open web not ruled by any one company. I'm looking forward to seeing that added to my settings page soon.

"Add option to disable Google DNS (used to help resolve navigation errors)"
Otherwise known as "Use a Google DNS Service to Help Resolve Navigation Errors" (as it reads in Settings).
What is the problem this is trying to solve, exactly? Does anyone know? I wasn't aware that Google DNS was ever used unless you've set it in your OS or your router. This seems to imply that Chromium (and thus Vivaldi) was using it until now, so now there's an option not to use it. That doesn't sound right at all. And what Navigation Errors, and why would using Google DNS be causing them? Plenty of people use Google DNS as their default DNS. I haven't heard of Navigation Errors (and by that, I assume you're talking about the inability to load some sites).

Wow!! These are wonderful additions. I love it

@darkmagician said:
I love that there are session finally. But as always I must criticize, why isn't TLS 1.3 enabled?
More than likely because very few websites actually support it, and those that do may still be using a draft version of TLS 1.3 rather than the final standardized version (which could cause problems with secure connections using TLS 1.3).
I run a CentOS 7 server (which is based on RedHat Enterprise Linux 7), and the latest version of OpenSSL available for it is 1.0.2. The final TLS 1.3 standard was fully added to OpenSSL in version 1.1.1 (according to their wiki). It is fairly normal in the Linux world for software to be out of date like that on server versions of Linux, as they are intended for stability over the long-term, which can be disrupted by adding newer versions of something as important as OpenSSL. I supplement with some third-party repositories to get newer versions of things like PHP and NGINX, however with something like OpenSSL you can't just install a newer version and expect everything to work as the other software packages were only tested against older versions of OpenSSL.
In reality, even though TLS 1.3 is now an established standard, we're probably still years away from seeing it on the average website. In that time, we will more than likely see a few security vulnerabilities crop up that need to be dealt with.

The updated description in the Options:Tabs "Click current tab to switch to last active tab" is still quite incorrect.
Try this:
- Open fresh browser
- Open 3 tabs
- Activate the 1st tab, then the 2nd, then click on the 2nd again (currently active) tab to go back to 1st
- Click on the 1st tab (now active), i would expect to go "back to the last tab" (which was 2nd), instead it goes to the 3rd tab (which is not the last active tab)
It would be nice if it was added as an option to actually "switch to the last active tab.
