One day. Two big Vivaldi browser releases

Hadden89

@Fires Which lists do you have? I had to remove the Adguard ones, as they "broke" almost any site (github and this forum included).

@Hadden89

yes that is what happened to me so i uninstalled it
i dont understand what u mean but what list ?

@Ayespy Except that it isn't unique among browsers either… but why would this matter? It will never be a selling point.

alvk

@Ayespy Well, I didn't know that.

"It's difficult" has never been a good excuse to me, though.

Ayespy

@alvk It's not an excuse. It's knowledge of the landscape. Among the literally thousands of bugs and needed features, this is a more fraught one. That's all.

@Ayespy I just want it to work. To me, it's like bookmarks or tabs - a default feature that everyone has and I don't want to even think about. With all the advanced stuff Vivaldi offers, why can't they figure out how to implement touch properly? How can it not be a priority in the world of touch screens?

@alvk said in One day. Two big Vivaldi browser releases:

How can it not be a priority in the world of touch screens?

If it had to be top priority for the success of Vivaldi, it would be. Eventually, they will get someone on it full time. Until then, there are other things in front of it, given that the vast majority of users are not on desktops or laptops with touch screens (or like me, have a touchscreen on a laptop and never touch it). If you have a touch screen and rely on it, obviously touch will be important to you. Touch is, of course, critical to Android. But the way the Android build is made means that it mostly takes care of itself. Some Context:

@mossman: Looks like it helped. Thanks.

Please add a "search and copy" feature when highlighting over text as in Opera. This would be a big plus for me. I would consider switching from Opera if you had this function in Vivaldi.

But window handling is still sub par. Try having two tabs, then dragging out one tab and pinning it to the top of a second screen. Not only does it stay on the same screen you started out at, it certainly doesn't snap up and maximize on the second screen. This may not be a deal breaker to anyone else, but it alone is enough to keep me on Firefox. Which does indeed handle this scenario flawlessly. I do this enough that the other features of Vivaldi just don't make up for the constant aggravation.

Thank you!

And the mail client is in the mail, I presume?

@KimmoJ You may be using an old version. It works fine here on the latest Stable and latest Snapshot.

@Gwen-Dragon If Vivaldi added a mail client to the Android browser, it just might be a first for Android. I'm not aware of any Android web browser which includes a built-in mail client.

Hi,
Congrats to the team for the releases. I've just discover Vivaldi which is great. One thing only bother me: could you change the tab shrinking behaviour ?

Is there a way to be notified if/when Vivaldi makes it possible to stop autoplay? I'd like to try Vivaldi but no autoplay off switch is a deal breaker.

@ivanone

Cheers, mib

@JohnConnorBear
Hi, never known, I use Firefox only for testing.
It does not really work, I use Autoplay Stopper extension.
Check https://www.digitaltrends.com/
It is not an KO feature for me anyway but nice to have.

Cheers, mib

Ayespy

@mib2berlin It would definitely be nice to have. I find auto-play media to be the height of arrogance an selfishness, and an unqualified blight on my browsing experience. Its entire absence would instantly make the world a better place.
