I have not lost any password. Perhaps for those who have this problem, they can be recovered through sync from Vivaldi Android, where they are also present.

@Catweazle I've had android in sync throughout sadly they dont seem to be coming back and they werent saving either last time i checked, in fact even after installing 2.9 and losing passwords chromepass was still able to find them.
-
@christiehmalry Yes its not saving passwords either syncing with mobile didnt do anything, windows 10 1903 , ryzen 2700x, gtx1070ti , 32gb ram
-
@Catweazle I tried to import from opera, but password is nothing.

Okay, so I solved my Developer Tools problem, and every time I refresh my Developer Tools it disappears, leaving a blank

Trying out the new list of panels from the menu threw up an interesting issue on one of my machines... there is a panel listed on there which is not on the sidebar and also does't open!
It was an old panel for a defunct page (it says 502 bad gateway in the menu description) and I didn't realise it was still in a zombie state in my settings somewhere.
I came here to ask how to remove it, but while writing this I worked it out: you can right-click the side bar and select which panels are visible (it was deselected), then once it's an active panel again (but completely blank) I could right-click its icon and choose remove...

@lonm: thanks for the update. I really hope it gets brought back, I too use it all the time, and as I've disabled search from the address bar I just get DNS error and then need to retype manually.
-
@lonm: Removing a feature that has been in every browser since the 90's without any warning doesn't seem like a very good move from Vivaldi

I was so excited to read "Access your tab bar with just a simple click, or even hide it for more real estate." That is because I a dying to have an auto-hide tab bar function, and not in the nervous Firefox way but in the stylish Yandex way.
-
@tree1891: same problem on mac os, vivaldi does not show passwords and isn't possible to save new passwords. Return to version 2.8 helps, passwords are back. Sync is enabled except passwords. Encryption enabled.

I've never used Vivaldi before and I have to say I'm seriously impressed. I need to see how secure it is before I switch to it as my primary browser but so far I think that's going to happen.
-
@Nuttysman I hope you'll find out what you're looking for regarding how secure Vivaldi can be (I believe you won't be disappointed).
Welcome to the Vivaldi user's family -
@Ornorm Thank you for the welcome. You say how secure it 'can be'. Does that mean it's secure out of the box or should I add extensions?
-
@Nuttysman Hello Nuttysman, it depends. I don't know your level of knowledge about how secure a browser should be. Some users have a Tor/Brave browser approach when others have an Internet Explorer approach. That's why I said "I hope you'll find out what you're looking for regarding how secure Vivaldi can be". It really depends on what you're looking for (tracking? technical security breaches? ad-blocking? confidentiality? etc.)
Some users do install extensions by default (uBlock Origin, etc.), others don't. -
@Ornorm Okay, got it. Thanks for the clarification and the quick responses.
-
Thanks again for you excellent work and this great browser, really outrageos.
HOWEVER, with this update the PIP mode for videos (i.e. Youtube) is now useless for me. It was working yesterday. I update it and now all I see is a not movable black screen (PIP mode) with no video. It's a shame, I use this feature a lot... I hope you can fix it! -
@raoulg: This happened in Windows 10 too (I haven´t noticed until I read this hehe).

@mib2berlin: In my case, I've always updated Vivaldi using the Help menu option. It would be nice for Vivaldi to notify an update; I'd like to avoid this manual verification. (I'm now used to it because I like a lot new features of Vivaldi, but it's not the very best to do this manually)
