Keep Your Friends Close: Using Web Panels for Social Media
-
Hey @forte95 - I'm a developer and network solutions guy, and have many different email accounts and account types, IMAP, POP and Webmail. I've only just recently moved away from Opera Mail to ThunderBird because it has CalDav calendar support (with Lightning plugin). It's sad for me after being an Opera fan boy since nearly the beginning, and hold out hope for Vivaldi….. one day .... one day
My web dev tools are custom built tools for different activities, like whois, ping, server headers, extra page info, and file browser. It does require you run a local web server, or you can host these types of tools online if you have the capability and resource. When Vivaldi becomes my main browser I'll finalise some of these tools and put them online for everyone else to use.
Web panels rock!! -
In the meantime you can right-click on a web-panel, go to panel and remove the checkmark. Not ideal, but it unloads it …

It seems that ublock origin isn't active the same way as in normal browser windows?
I seem to see much more ads in the sidebar as in normal pages…
Otherwise I like it. I mainly use it for Beolingus http://dict.tu-chemnitz.de/ and a weather service (both don't show ads anyway). -
Once again great release. keep up the excellent work Vivaldi team

Its a must. but i HATE the mobile view since then most extensions for chrome/vivaldi don't work. So i switch them to desktop view and for facebook i use social fixer and removes the sidebars on desktop view and bam i can use social fixer features as hide posts i have seen already or other things. Only need support for notifications on the vivaldi web panel icons now . and on twitter i still use mobile view. not that found off it but it is okay. So love this ideas keep them coming is all i have to say.

I love the idea of web panels, and would probably use it for things like FB/FB Messenger, Gmail, etc. But the problem is they take up RAM/CPU and bandwidth resources without giving me the ability to hibernate it. If it didn't take up any resources while they were hidden, I'd probably use it a lot more often. For now, being able to close and hibernate tabs is keeping me from using web panels.

@dleon This thread is a year old? I just came here from Vivaldi's tweet/retweet, which led me here and thought it was a new thread. Sorry about that.
I do like your ideas on stock ticker. It's kind of like notifications from apps you get for emails, even though you don't have the app open at all. I agree there needs to be another method for minimizing resource, but as someone who isn't a programmer, I don't know the solution to that.

Using the Web Panels for social media accounts works amazing! So fluid!

I love this browser. I am a web engineer. its great for productivity.
Thank you so much for creating it.
The biggest change I would be requesting is for some indicator on the panel to show me a notification count/ or light on the social media sites.
Also a solution for others who may have the same types of problems as I:
i find that while using messenger.com. the css of the site actually contains a min-width, restricting me from making the panel too thin.
This is when I discovered that css/js injection plugins effect the panel area too.
So now I have unset this min-width. i also have the facebook header bar positioned fixed. so I always see notifications even while scrolling through facebook. -
@duarte-framos: does Tiddlywiki Provide any clear advantages over the current OneNote?

Now if I could tile them... so I could have, say, both Gab and Twitter showing.

I love being able to use Vivaldi for Instagram activities, especially DM's. However, I can't make it stop showing the "new message" quantity of 1 on the DM icon when I have no new DM's. It's not even all the time, but it is there roughly 75% of the time. Is anyone else seeing this?

Hello! I've been trying to use my university mail on a Web Panel but I can't stay logged in (my username and password are already saved when I open it in a normal tab) - am I missing something? Has anyone experienced the same kind of issue?
BTW I started using Vivaldi this week and I'm totally in love with it! Best browser ever -
