New V Crashes on settings
-
@tonyd1 Hardware Acceleration does different things depending on the platform and the underlying system hardware. Chromium uses GPU resources to accelerate rendering and composting. If the hardware acceleration code causes instability, the Chromium team will typically blacklist the GPU. If you override the blacklist, that too will cause instability to varying degrees. If you ever run into stability problems with Vivaldi, the first thing that you should do is ensure that chrome://flags have been reset to their defaults.
On Mac, Vivaldi also still does some media decoding in the GPU process renderer, so Vivaldi force-enables some underlying acceleration so that the GPU process gets activated, and that too can sometimes cause problems... which is why I'm hoping that the remaining bits of old legacy media code will eventually get removed.
I haven't had a chance to look at the crash logs for the crashes that you have all reported. Hopefully, the Vivaldi team has symbolicated the stack backtraces and I can get a better idea of what might be triggering the crashes.

I also have crashes, as soon as I do anything in the preferences window.
