Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5
-
@archive1 please read the other posts in this thread, it's been already discussed. I solved first using a 2nd profile without any extension, then pinned which extension to disable to be able to use twitch and twitter again in the main profile, by disabling them all and enabling them one at a time. For now it's a workaround, hoping it will be solved ASAP

FoxNews comments section is broken. I suppose it's not unlike the twitter problem.
-
@jon I agree it should follow the OS, but it doesn't. It seems to just use the defaults for the browser UI language.
-
nor does it respect time/date format settings on Win7 on my machine

@omag Probably @Jon was referring to a feature available on the internal test versions he refers to @Cqoicebordel said in Chromium update and status bar clock – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 1843.5:
@ruarí: The format is based on the locale used by V. There is a settings available internally, but this setting is tied to a feature, so not released. Releasing that setting would help tho.

When that function will be available you can also have seconds.

@johnnyfire: you can really tell how they're out of ideas for actually useful features when they're starting to reimplement extension and OS functionality. I mean, it's a web browser. Why would anyone want a clock in it to begin with? Can't wait for the next Vivaldi releases, where they add a calendar, a music player, and a file manager. While keeping the picture-in-picture icon mandatory.

@grishka They just cannot win can they? If they do implement a requested feature, people complain; if they implement it too soon, they complain; if they don't implement a feature they complain.
For me, the basic clock is good enough. The Alarm and countdown timer may be useful to others.

@Pesala TIL Opera had it
-
@grishka Yes Opera had this function, but it was just a simple clock, as they implemented it in Vivaldi is much more useful. If they implement the possibility to have reports every hour will be even more convenient.
-
@Pesala All that matters to me is to have that feature in the final release of the next stable version. It's not about when, it's about if ever.

@mmhere said in post 352907:
VB-61700 related bug? -- starting via an ssh connection to X11 display on another machine fails.
-
The prior work-around for 2.11 (to use --no-xshm command line option) has no effect.
-
In this case, with vivaldi --version reporting this...
Vivaldi 2.12.1843.5
...no window appears at all.
-
Instead these errors result when run in a terminal

and here again using the prior work-around that includes the --no-xshm opt:

Remote X11 display is PRETTY TYPICAL; 'twould be nice if this were tested on the various releases.I posted this bug (with a link to the present post) over in the bug reporting page but no VB-nnnnn is given back.
It would nice to be able to track it (in the "What is the status of this VB" thread) -- but without a VB-nnnnn number from the bug submitter, how do we do this? Could someone please provide the VB number?
Note that it may be related to VB-61700 previously confirmed and still open, although it manifests slightly differently: In the present case no window appears at all. The net result is that Vivaldi cannot be used with a remote X11 display.
-
Sorry to be dense, but how do I disable/hide the clock?
-
@wpcoe Right-click, customise, remove from toolbar.

@npro: i use and love vivaldi but, unlike you, i can see good things in other browsers. i dont like many opera things, but i miss the selection pop up (with currency converter) i have to use a very bad extension to simulate it, i miss the add bookmark button, where you can select the image from images from the web or a zoomable snapshot, the ad blocker implementation is beautiful, the speed dial is better in my opinion, i used to use the flow feature a lot (it is a very nice feature), the pop up video button is wonderful and i havent use the new workspaces feature, but it seems very useful.
maybe you have not tried these features, but if you do, i guarantee you will miss them too, because is they have done a very good job, just as I would miss many features from vivaldi if i leave it.
you can deny that every new feature in vivaldi existed already in opera 12 (which new great features are to come in? mail client? rss feeder?) and almost every new feature in opera is original and actually new in the browser world

@pesala: Thanks! I knew it had to be something obvious & easy.
-
@AlesPG There's a reason for that. The people who invented Opera are inventing Vivaldi, now that Opera has changed its philosophy.

@ayespy: hey, i am not talking about philosophy here! i am talking about nice little original features that improves the user experience, nothing else. and opera, despite their many cons, is doing a great job there.
i know original opera team is making vivaldi, thats why i am here. but those days, opera was a reference in browsing history and invented many things that are standards now. current opera have kept being innovative in that matter, and vivaldi is not, that's all i say.
-
@AlesPG Opera has a 20-year head start. Vivaldi is definitely innovating. It is producing capabilities literally no other browser, and certainly no other Chromium-based browser has. Opera has a 200-person development team - Vivaldi, about 20. So this early in the game, it is still a bit slow going. And since the original Opera had exclusive control of every layer of its own code, unlike Vivaldi now (since they have to use Chromium's engine), innovation was actually easier, even starting out with a small team (which they grew to over 200 devs). You are not comparing apples to apples.

When putting the clock further to the left, most of it just is covered. Wanted to bug report, but idk how to add images there, so I thought that it's easier this way.
arch linux. swaywm. vivaldi-snapshot. m3.
-
Status bar clock seems to show time with AM/PM notation, which is wrong for my locale (though the Downloads panel has the same problem).
Anyway, I noticed another problem in the 2.12 snapshots - Twitter's old UI (accessible with User-agent switcher set to Opera 12.14) is partially broken: the Like button doesn't work, videos don't play and you can't answer polls. This problem isn't present in 2.11.
