From me to you: A dev’s take on Vivaldi
-
@jacekn: THANK YOU! This is exactly what I had in mind when I posted my comment! If I'd read your comment sooner, I wouldn't post that redundant comment of mine...

I do not if you work with those that provide us with Bookmarking, but that is an area I personally believe needs some work.

@npro: High Resolution Desktop Wallpapers used as Vivaldi's background affect the time to spawn new tabs heavily especially on older systems. When I use Vivaldi on a GeForce 1080ti and a Core i7 7700 system, it feels faster but when used on a 4 year old laptop with a slower CPU and an internal GPU, things become really slow. spawning 20 tabs becomes laggy and slow and the UI becomes unresponsive.

@npro @neltherion I reported this bug as VB-51717 so at least the devs know about it.
-
Nice to see someone care about performance. It's my biggest and the most annoying problem with Vivaldi.

Hi, cant find a feature request about.
Btw., nothing to do with Vivaldi performance.Cheers, mib

The thing that recently slows my workflow a lot is how everything (both the browser UI and a current tab JS) freezes for a long time when you open link in a new tab in background, almost until that new tab loads and renders everything.
And how the tab cycler list is slow to respond (and also often doesn't disppear after you've finished switching tabs releasing Ctrl or RMB if you just wanna quickly switch to the previous tab; just add an interval poll for every 100-500 msec to check whether the user has already released key/button if it's hard to reliably register the event of release itself, idk). But I think tab switching problems kinda already been mentioned. -
I love Vivaldi.
And in the next 6 months I like to see export Notes (with links, pictures) into some document format (docx, pdf...).

@Pesala
Hm, I searched for Multiple Row and found nothing.
Anyway, there is it and got 26 up votes in one Year.Cheers, mib

I have a lot of bookmarks in the LHS panel but keyboard cut/copy/paste is flakey, and not usable if multiple bookmarks are selected. The selection/ focused item also gets confused - https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/35414/selected-bookmark-doesn-t-retain-focus-after-cut-copy-paste-keyboard-operation.

I love vivaldi but I'm still waiting on the Android version which I know is near release but it's still the main reason im not using it as my main browser
-
@Phosphorus As I understand it, Vivaldi mobile is not truly released and not ready for general use (not even as general "Here's the tech preview for anyone who care to try it") - so I wouldn't expect it to have everything nor even be very stable. I'd like to try it, but I won't run it until it released at least as that. And I generally run the snapshot on the desktop (current snapshot has extension failures after a few minutes, so I've temporarily reverted to stable).

I'm very impressed with Vivaldi browser. Best browser ever it feels like mine

@Excommunicado Welcome to the Vivaldi Forum and enjoyment continues with Vivaldi.
-
1 small change I would like to see in the web panels is the ability to change the URL
-
@jacekn: To add to that point: I don't actually have a practical need to create 20 new tabs. But it would be nice if just ONE tab would be created and shown to me instantly (and was ready to accept input in the address/search bar immediately) by, for example, being pre-created and waiting for a users's Ctrl+T at all times.
I wanted to add to this that Vivaldi is so slow that whenever I want to quickly search for something it's always faster for me to switch from Vivaldi to literally any other browser, do Ctrl+Tab and do the search there than search in Vivaldi. But then I thought to try to do a new tab search using "F2 -> [search engine shortcut] search term -> Shift+Enter". That is convenient (although F2 also glitches at times), but I don't think the existing users of other browsers would appreciate the need to learn this new approach when switching to Vivaldi.

@XtremAlRaven Hi, but how long does it take your Vivaldi to open a tab?
I'm trying now on an old PC, XP4800+ with 3GB RAM, with 4 tabs open and if i press Ctrl+T the new tab opens in less than a second and is immediately operational. If instead i try to open 20 new cards the slowness is really a lot.
Do you always have this slowness or only in particular circumstances? -
@xtremalraven: Yes, totally agree! Performance is a big weakness of Vivaldi. Especially when you are working with 20+ opened tabs all the time. Creating a new tab or opening batch links in the background takes ages! I hope we will see more performance improvements in the near futere.
