Uh... Yeah. Not sure why you're pointing to that old thread. I know it's an existing problem, that's actually what I said. I might even be in that thread somewhere, since I was having similar issues as Ayespy and his 20000 cloned notes...

@OlgaA I meant a real vote that will show in a simple way (e.g. percentage) what users want. It would simply take the form of a survey in a blog, in which you could vote for the functions. This is definitely better than forcing a user to search an illegible forum, which not everyone uses, whose voice practically gives nothing, because some cool features were forgotten by the time of their issue and the most voted ones are not implemented anyway. So maybe Vivaldi will improve something based on it because it looks poor. Because everyone can boast that he or she listens to the users, but in fact he or she doesn't care about them.

One thing places Opera mobile on top of another browsers - text wrapping.
-
Capturing this entire page on Android resulted in an image with unreadable txt when zoomed in
-
@andrisk: -good point!
Options for dark theme and have all tabs closed on exit would be good.
(can't figure out how to remove duplicate speed dials).

@cqoicebordel: What tab switching shortcut? Swiping sideways on the toolbar to switch tab is present on almost all mobile chromium browser...

@danielson: Kiwi browser (https://github.com/kiwibrowser/android) has text reflow support and it works nicely (except of dynamically loaded content through external javascript like comments from Disqs - it's a mixed batch with such cases). Another advantage of this browser is that it supports standard Chromium/Chrome extensions. Dark theme and night mode are also there.
I'd say that this browser is in its "beta, but looking promising" stages - You might encouner some minor bugs (incompatibility with some extensions, inconsistent translation and minor cosmetic annoyances related to dark mode). I'm testing it alongside my default android browser (Fennec F-droid - basically that's Firefox stripped out of some Mozilla telemetry, Widevine DRM and proprieatry media codecs). If You want to use fully-fledged desktop extensions on your mobile browser You should consider trying out any of those browsers.
I'd really like to see Vivaldi for android supporting external extensions - full native sync with desktop browser along with extension support would be killer features for me.

I have not had time to test every feature, but the APK seems to work well on my Amazon Kindle Fire.
Not suyc-ing yet. Enough issues with 2400 duplicate Bookmarks (pared down from 35000!) but I digress.
I am impressed! There is lots of potential here.
One thing, if you could post or email the Android subscribers when updates are available that would be great as with the APK version I won't get any automatic updates.
Thanks a Bunch! -
@greybeard Just subscribe to the RSS feed, every update is up on the blog.

I really like where this is going, especially the controll elements on the bottom allowing to browse one-handed.
However, a reason for me not to use Vivaldi on my Android device is that it lacks a "Remove AMP" function. That's why I'm sticking with Kiwi for now.
Also, rather than capturing the whole page as a screenshot, I would prefer downloading the site "offline", so I can view it in the browser without an internet connection (default Chrome-on-Android feature).
Looking forward to future updates! -

How to do that while Vivaldi doesn't support feeds...?
-
@mossman Use Opera 12.18? No doubt there are plenty of other RSS Feed Readers.
-
-
For me this is the best feedreader: Palabre, Of course there is also an offline function.
-
@olgaa: …It's too late – I noticed!
-
@jnss98b: In Vivaldi you can swipe between tab types, like Regular tabs, Private, Synced and recently closed.
-
@danielson: We already have Dark theme, just go to Settings -> Themes
-
Excellent work guys and gals! I've been using Vivaldi (Windows and Mac) for some time. Now I'm trying out the Vivaldi Android and also Vivaldi on Ubuntu! So far, no complaints!
-
Looks good as a beta and has a lot of potential. However, Vivaldi Beta can't be my daily driver yet because it interacts poorly with Lastpass. Lastpass Autofill puts the username in the address bar, which brings up Bing search instead of logging in. I hope something can be done about this issue.

On the Desktop browser, I have set the tabs to appear on the right. Ideally, all tabs except the current tab should have a white/ dark theme, and the current tab should have the colour of the active tab. As you can see in the attachment, all the tabs, except active tab, have the colour of the active tab and the active tab itself is white. This is just the opposite of how it should be because it is difficult to locate the current tab instantly.
