Would be nice to know what changed between RC2 and Stable though.
You can compare the changelogs youserself:
2.3 RC2: https://vivaldi.com/blog/snapshots/vivaldi-2-3-rc-2-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1440-37/
2.3 Stable: https://vivaldi.com/blog/auto-stacking-tabs/That would require a lot of guessing, there's no way to make diff from last SS changelog and stable 2.3 changlog to know what changed in a couple of days. My bet is that .37 just got rebuilt with new icon and new version -> "stable". We'll check for more fixes in next SS (next week as usual)

I think it is clear what an "Active Tab" is but I'm still struggling to understand what exactly the definition of being "Related Tab(s)" is.

This browser is my go-to on my Raspberry Pi 3b+. Firefox in the repos is out of date, but Vivaldi is pretty close to Chrome with updates. Plus, it's pretty efficient on such a low end device. Much better than Chromium. Even though I prefer Firefox, this browser sure shows promise. And despite the ARM builds being marked as unsupported, they work fine. Media plays, too, which I couldn't get with the Chromium snap app. Reminds me of the old Opera which would run on anything. Keep up the good work, Vivaldi team!

VB-47598 still here.
UPD: I had bug with browser UI which causes titlebar background image to be rendered incorrectly. I believe it was caused by zero-copy rasterization which was enabled in chromium flags. Restoring default state of this flag solved problem. I also had problems with some bootstrap components like menus, it had partially invisible background. -

I'm no power user, but am really pleased with this release.
Auto-Stacking the tabs is ace and have already added frequent sites in to my search results.
Working nicely.
I must admit thought that I'd never used the capture page function or was even aware of it.
Having seen an update to it in the release notes and love it.
Easy to pick an option, it retains those options for next time and is very quick to save & show a file.I'm also super happy that we can now view passwords in the privacy tab.
Not sure why it wasn't included previously.Well done all.

Thanks. I see that two months ago I already made a comment on that thread but at that time the "auto-stacking" was not yet implemented. That's why I (again) wanted to understand the mechanics.
To reiterate my confusion:- I would need to "see" that a relation between tabs exist
- The tabs I keep are growing dynamic. Having eg two sibling tabs and putting each in different tab stacks they seem still being related and every operation concerned with related tabs leads to erratic behavior.
So I will continue to set "New Tab Position" to "After Active Tab"
But it would be nice to have the possibility to open links as additional tabs in a stack together with the active tab or even more flexible to select the tab or tab stack the new tab should be added to (maybe in the right-click menu).
I will make a feature request.

Favicons seem to have gotten significantly larger in 2.3. I decided to compare them myself, and the previous version loaded the favicons at 18px, while 2.3 loads them at 20px. That's nearly a 25% increase in area.
What's weirder is that inspecting them with the console indicates that they should be 18px, but after carefully measuring them they are actually 20px.
Using it on macOS 10.14.3

I'm not sure why but on my Mac auto-stack isn't working as well as the close window confirmation. I could be doing something wrong. Any ideas before I submit a bug report?

I want in Capture Page option to directly upload to some internet image server, like Lightshot does. I often don't want to keep those captures on PC. But now you need to save, upload, and delete later, if you want just to share capture on internet. It's complicated.
-
Great Release. The auto-stacking feature is very helpful. Also, kudos to your PPA maintainers. No delays for us Ubuntu users.
-
@senja Make a feature request and see if others will support your idea. The more votes, the more likely it will be implemented.
-
Thank you, Team! This completes my dream browser (for now).
-
Wow! Nice! Favicon spinner! Auto-tab stack! For me it's mostly the auto stack. Sometimes I get a wild hair and research a given subject which always leads to tab stacking. Now Vivaldi auto-stacks the tabs for me. "Sweet".
Thanks and congrats! There is one bad thing for the devs...They get to enjoy the accolades only to realize there's more work to be done. They do release their best work. Again, thanks and congrats.

@xypher: It seems that the problem is shared between my synced devices (even my Windows PC) although the exit confirmation works on my PC.
I deleted the settings/preferences file to see if that does anything and weirdly enough it works! I'm guessing the bug stems for a combination of settings but I'm not sure what since I already deleted the file. You might want
Anyway the problem now is the close window confirmation (it seems the Exit confirmation isn't on the Mac version yet). The setting does absolutely nothing! Any help is appreciated.
-
When using settings as a window rather than in a tab, the positioning is not remembered and is instead pushed over to the right
-
With the new stacking features, tab stacks desperately need the ability to rearrange the order of the tabs within the stack.

@thx1200 This is much easier to do in the Window Panel, as it is hard to grab the little handle at the top of stacked tabs.
