Cool

@npro Then, I can say "First to say first"!
-
Ah yeah! I was expecting Something For The Weekend!
Have a good one!
-
@Ornorm You can certainly say that for me, thanks :face_with_stuck-out_tongue_winking_eye:
P.S I dig the new Experimental Notes Editor
-
-
@nilslorvick Me too, I'll disable AutoplayStopper extension and try some sites with videos.
-
I updated my script from extracting Widevine from ARM ChromeOS recovery images. It will now handle the more annoying parts of the extra steps and it also includes a readme for the manual actions you need to perform.
-
@nutcracker. This build might please you
-
nice!!
-
I don't know what this VB-62314 "fix" did but for example on 9gag videos start by themselves without AutoplayStopper enabled, so nothing has changed.
-
I am very much looking forward to the new notes editor!
Interesting new flags with the Chrome 80 update:
- #sharing-peer-connection-receiver & #sharing-peer-connection-sender - I'm not sure what is meant by peer connection. Sounds interesting
- #sharing-qr-code-generator - Doesn't do anything yet, but seems like a neat tool
- #win-use-hybrid-spellchecker - more advanced spell checking for windows users
- #enable-ftp - I don't hav eany FTP servers I use regularly, but some user might like this
-
And remember that is you want to use Netflix, you will need to spoof your user agent as ChromeOS

Very nice, with this update I get a Cast to Device button on Youtube that allows me to cast to the TV from the PC (the PC doesn't have wireless BTW, it's connected to the router through cable, the TV is connected wirelessly/5GHz). Previously there was a button to cast on the YT app on my phone, but the PC did not have it.
Edge Chromium which is on v.79 for now doesn't have this button.
As for the Sources sub-menu, it has Tab, Desktop and File. I could not get Desktop and File to work.
Edit: you can get the Cast function from the right click as well, on Chromium 79 it just would not find any devices (as expected, because my PC doesn't have wireless), but now it always finds the TV connected to the home router (has DLNA and Miracast I think). However, the only source I can get to work is YT. Anything else gives a message of "Source not supported".
Would be great if it would be able to stream the Desktop/files/tabs as well,as the Sources suggest to be possible. LG provides an app that can do that (for audio/video), having Vivaldi able to cast the browser would make it a nearly complete solution.

@cqoicebordel: Indeed! With the pop-up problem (VB-62368) solved in the best possible way, I'm back in business! I must thank the devs because it seems nobody else was particularly affected or interested in this.
-
@iAN-CooG I agree, autoplay stop isn't working for me either - turning on AutoplayStopper extension again.
-
Can anyone confirm links linked to notes are not behaving? Ordinarily I can click on a note and it functions much like a bookmark. Now, not so. Thanks in advance.
-
@Gigzama Confirmed here. Double-click on the note does nothing.

Weirdly, after update to this shapshot Vivaldi has been a total resource hog on my old-ish Win7 x64 Elitebook 8530w — it made the PC totally unresponsive and didn't allow even opening Task Manager to kill it. Had to downgrade to previous build to get responsiveness back. Tested and confirmed on 2 identical Elitebooks with same specs, so it's not a single PC glitch.
(Specs: Intel T9600 @2.80 GHz, 4GB RAM on Windows 7 x64 with all updates up to Win7 EOL, 32-bit Vivaldi Snapshot Snapshot 2.11.1800.5, now rolled back to 2.11.1792.3)
Anyone else experiencing this on Win7?
-
@acnapyx I'll have to fire up my win7 box to test in the AM. Won't have a chance tonight.
