[New][Profiles] Add support for adding and deleting in the popup (VB-52800)
[New][Profiles] Allow editing of avatar within the popup (VB-51350)About the ">" icon in the profile menu. To me, that means it will open a menu or slide-to- a new view within that little pop-up. Instead it opens a new tab which seems like it merits a different icon like a cog or "pop-up" icon.
If anything, the "manage" item should have that icon, as it is the one that does stay in the current view, and could look nice with a slide-to-left animation.
Also, I assume the image that is there right now (in manage a vivaldi.net profile) is just a placeholder? In any case there's no way to change it to one of the others as
chrome://settings/manageProfile
only shows 15 of the 30+ custom icons.edit: About the ">" opening a new view in-place, I see this is what happens if you use a non-vivaldi.net profile.
[New][Panels] Add unread tab counter to the Window panel (VB-35467)
yeh, I'm gonna turn that off
[New] Update images for error pages (VB-52938)
RIP tony the lavaball.
[Extensions] Developer tools crash browser on extension created tab or options page (VB-49764)
I really hope this fixes things. Will do some testing.
Update: It does appear to be fixed. yay
[Keyboard][Extensions] Shortcuts don’t work (VB-14668)
You mean setting shortcuts at
vivaldi://extensions/
? that still doesn't work.[New] Add support for blocking ‘abusive’ Ads (VB-46155)
How is the setting innever mind, I see that chrome is using some strange double negative confusing language. If the button is off there, it means ad block is on overall.vivaldi://settings/privacy
different to the one invivaldi://settings/content/ads?search=block
. I see if I have the one in vivaldi turned on, the one in chrome stays off.Also, the language used in vivaldi's label seems a bit violent compared to chrome's language. "abusive violating sites" vs "intrusive or misleading ads".

Hey where is my ninja icon? Oh well, Monster 9 will do.
Nice update. -
[Keyboard] Blacklist system reserved shortcuts (VB-51765)
Ohh can we have a list of those keys that can't be reassigned?
-
@ian-coog: I went with Old Man (3) for my logged out of sync avatar
-
@ian-coog: it is just the cut, copy and paste shortcuts for now
-
The script isn't finding it yet. ?
sh install-vivaldi.sh
vivaldi-snapshot (2.5.1525.37-1) is already installed; exiting -
Wow! A lot of nice fixes. I'd been waiting for the whatsapp fix, and here it came. Thanks guys and keep up the good work!
-
@slake: Try now. I was still updating the repository and it uses that to find the latest build
$ install-vivaldi.sh -r Fetching vivaldi-snapshot (2.6.1546.4-1) for x86_64 ... ⋮

how about tiled tabs performance? any changes to have it fixed soon?
-
Thanks, Ruari.
Got it now. -
[Keyboard][Extensions] Shortcuts don’t work (VB-14668)
You mean setting shortcuts at vivaldi://extensions/? that still doesn't work.
Yeah we don't have our own UI yet but you can use
chrome://extensions/configureCommands
for the time being -
@slake: Cool and sorry for the delay. That was my fault.
-
@jacekn: Probably not "soon" as in "immediately", but for sure. Sadly it is a complicated problem and takes some time to fix it but not break anything else ...
... and yes, the Developers are on it
-
@ruario That's the one I meant. If I set a shortcut, and press the shortcut, nothing happens:
Update: It works, but I need to restart vivaldi first.
Update 2: I also see that If I set a shortcut for "activate the extension" and the extension button is hidden, nothing happens. (VB-42578)
-
@LonM I've set a couple of extensions shortcuts but I had to set them to Global instead of In Vivaldi to be able to use them.
-
[New][Settings] Show favicon for active engine selected in search field (VB-2610)
AT LAST \o/
-
Nice, I guess the bump to Chromium will come later.
