Vivaldi goes mobile
-
for the moment I use Vivaldi Only for registered sites, such as this forum and Brave to surf the web. It's not because I couldn't do it with Vivaldi, but the lack of an adblocker and the excess of ads still makes it very annoying on a smartphone with 5 '' screen. Apart from this it is impeccable.

@Aronand Thanks for everything, your work is appreciated.
You think there's a chance for better History sync between desktop and mobile? As things are now, I can't see on my desktop what I visit on the mobile. It would be awesome to have a "Continue on PC" sort of function like it's the case with Windows 10, Edge and Your Phone. -
@t0yz Don't think that's needed. First of all you can of course leave the tabs you want to see on the desktop open and use the inbuilt sync function to access them on desktop. A second option would be to make a new bookmarks folder specifically for tabs you want to access on another device after closing them. In the long run it would make the most sense to bring sessions to mobile, which would simply save all your open or selected tabs. The tools are already available, no need to carbon copy another browser.

@luetage That's the problem, the sync between mobile and desktop (Android 9 and Windows 10 1903 in case it matters) is not working OK. The History is not syncing well (if at all). What I visit on the desktop doesn't appear on mobile even after hours. And what I visited on mobile does not appear on the desktop. Syncing everything possible, same account logged.

I had no problems with sync, I have on PC (W10) and Android 7 all the bookmarks and passwords, even the notes.

@Catweazle I have those too. What I don't have is the History of visited websites, which seems to be unique for desktop and mobile.

@t0yz
Hi, history is not synced only typed history or do I understand setting wrong?
Make sense to me, I have 5 devices with Vivaldi synced and if I search something it would really hard if all histories are merged.Cheers, mib
-
@mib2berlin That makes it impossible to use it as a "Continue on PC" replacement. The idea is that I would be going to work and see some articles I want to read at my own leisure on the desktop later, and I'd be able to send them to the Desktop or at least have them in the History. This is basically the only reason I use mobile browsing if I can help it, I don't like to read or write on the phone.
It would have been nice if it would have worked like that, as it would have allowed me to get rid of Edge.PS: Chrome on mobile syncs history to your Google account. I'm not sure if the desktop Chrome sees that since I use Vivaldi, but I assume it does.

Just installed vivaldi beta on dad phone and removed chrome shortcut :3
He didn't asked yet "how to do something" (a good sign) -

I don't know if I have all the history on my mobile, but the history a few days before when I installed Vivaldi Mobil and synchronized it
It may be related to the available memory of the mobile. -
@t0yz So I just checked and it looks like everything I visited on the laptop are showing in the history on the phone.
... and yep, I'm seeing things on the laptop history from my phone yesterday evening.
However - I have always felt that the history tab only seems to remember about half of what I actually visit - back when trying to find home-PC visited pages on work laptop and vice versa. I haven't done any serious testing, but I've had occasions when I'm pretty sure that I've looked at a site but couldn't use history to visit it again a few days later. That might even be on the same device.
Also, today my synced-sessions button on the tab bar isn't working at all!

Thanks so much! I've been waiting for this. Just installed Vivaldi Mobile on my phone and synced everything. Got a little impatient and synced twice, so I wound up with some duplicate Speed Dials, but I was able to delete them and all is now well. I will also install it on my tablet.

I can't try V Mobile for a few days, so I hope someone can answer my question. Is it possible to switch the order of the V menu button and the address field? I'd like to have the menu button on the left, like on desktop.
-
@Nekomajin Not possible, you can't move anything.

I've never seen it anywhere but on the left, by default.

@JoelYoung
On this pic, it's clearly on the right.

@Nekomajin Okay, I didn't have V mobile open at the time, and I understood his statement to mean he hadn't seen it (since he can't use it yet), so I wondered why he thought (or knew??) that it wasn't on the left. My reference to default was for desktop.
-
BETA, guys
-
@Nekomajin Aside from light to dark theme, there are no customizations as yet.

@k3dar: Thanks for clarification and links :^)
@ruario is this worth consideration? Especially for those who prefer to use paranoid android, lineageos or AOSP compiled from source (etc). And since google is on the nose..
