Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5
-
Picking up the "circles" topic from the comments for the last build (circles stand in for blocked ads), does anyone see circles (spinning circles, when animation is enabled) when looking at the same pages in other browsers which also block tracking, which these days is essentially all of them (Opera, Brave, Firefox, new Edge)?
Just curious. Because if the answer is "no," as it is for using something like uBO, then I think perhaps some CSS needs to be deployed to hide them. Yes, they're (somewhat) better than ads, but the feature is a half-measure.
-
@rseiler Tracker blocker is a work in progress. It's intended that it will be a full-fledged solution on a par with the various extensions on offer at least, and of course built right in to the browser.
-
@gwen-dragon: It does not solve anything
-
@daivy-merlijs I made it appear by right-clicking on an item in the Status Bar and selecting Customize, and from there, reset Toolbar to Default. This was necessary, as I have modified my Status Bar by moving items from it to other locations.
-
after shutting down my workstation and restart it today, my profile seems to be broken.
all tabs are lost, also speeddial (now I've the standard chrome speeddial page)
close vivaldi and rename Last session and Last Tabs to Current session and current Tabs do not help
any suggestions?Win10 1909 Vx64
€dit:
it seems different: vivaldi doesn't remember/save the last settings to the tabs start behaviour, no matter what I set. I switched from last session to speeddial but when I start vivaldi, I can see my speeddial for a millisecond and then opens the chrome startpage. -
Can I move the Clock to the Address Bar? I always hide the Status Bar.
-
@okaybadger
use SHIFT and drag'n'drop the clock to the left of the adressbar -
This is very useful to have a clock in the status bar, but what is still missing is a seconds display, like @luetage of its modification:
History Clock (keeping easter egg alive)

Some of my fav sites couldn't load e.g Transno.com, Workona extension. Just report here in case someone else have same issue.
-
@ayespy: Yes, I have also done that but it does not solve the problem.
Btw, I can't reorganize my web panels, too.
-
@gwen-dragon: I logged in these sites as usual until I update the lastest Snapshot yesterday. I don't think it happened because of my extensions.
-
@pesala:
Except if you have the speaker muted... -
@derday: I can confirm the same behavior but on win 7 64b.

There could be a conflict between an extension and this version of Vivaldi/Chromium causing it, though.
-
I hide the status bar. Wouldn't it be better if the alarm clock could be displayed alone under this setting?
-
@poto Show status bar, press shift and drag it on the left of the address bar for example, hide status bar again.
-
@komposten: Yes, It is Adguard conflicting with this version that caused the issue. Thank you! I've reported it to Vivaldi team.

Interesting new flags with chromium 81:
- #extension-checkup seems to add another info box to the extensions page. probably a chrome WIP
- #webui-tab-strip - for the chrome UI only. adds tab thumbnails. Chrome devs continue to be inspired by Vivaldi, I think
- #system-keyboard-lock - new API for web apps, I wonder how this would interact with Vivaldi shortcuts if turned on and in use
- #enable-new-download-backend ?
- #sharing-send-via-sync ?
- #enable-portals-cross-origin - a new web feature chrome is trying to push is available for testing.
- #storage-access-api - new API for web apps
- #font-access - "enumerating installed fonts" will be useful for rich text editing web apps, but also for fingerprinters
- #raw-clipboard - may be useful for web apps which need advanced editing capabilities
- #freeze-user-agent - goodbye user agents, you won't be missed
- #enable-user-data-snapshot - enables safe rolling back to older versions. could be useful for snapshot testers, but unfortunately as this is the first time it's available, you can't go back right now
Also,
- #form-controls-refresh was previously available but is now turned on by default
