Vivaldi 3.2 RC 1 – Vivaldi Desktop Browser snapshot 1967.38
-
@Steffie Clarion Ledger is a Gannett newspaper, and it's the Gannett sites that have this problem. Not fixed, yet.
-
-
In the previous Snapshot's comments i posted that the PiP controls were still unusable for me. I am delighted to confirm that this Snapshot seems to have completely solved that -- today's tests resulted in 0% failures when muting, pausing & restoring in the PiP window. Thanks.

Added now
-
@mib2berlin: Now you don't have to wait. I have added the stable stream versions of this build to the blog post as alternative download options
-
@ruarí: Thanks, I'm more used to the red Icon Btw, I can't see any regressions in this build compared to 3.1. Used it the whole day yesterday and this morning.
-
Is this URL-Cropping "preview" removed in this build again?
See https://vivaldi.com/de/blog/snapshots/desktop/easier-url-cropping-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-1967-30/
Because I can't see anything happen, when I hover over the URL with CTRL pressed. -
@colebantam Ooh good point - ditto here.
-
@Steffie @colebantam It's in the changelog:
[Address bar] Revert – Show clickable element of URL as links: causes various issues, will re-enable in a future snapshot (VB-23693)
-
@altcode: Thanks
-
@AltCode Blush. Thanks. Whoops.
-
@thomasp: Thank you

For me lichess is still broken. I don’t mind on snapshot, but this shouldn’t make it to stable imo.
-
@luetage Agreed, they can't release a Stable with a pretty big crashing bug (even if I don't use the site).
Also the blank page issue with "Gannet Media" sites like USA Today etc should be fixed, it seems to affect a lot of users.
If not fixed, they will likely have to wait several months for a new stable release.
I say keep the snapshots coming but let these issues be fixed before Stable.
-
@Pathduck That will never happen. Stable updates have to be released to include security fixes. There will always be some sites that don't work and perhaps a few that cause crashes.
They cannot make a train wait for every passenger who is delayed.
-
@pathduck: The "Gannet Media" sites like USA Today we cannot yet reproduce. You cannot fix something when you do not what it is. Furthermore it would seem from reports that people have exactly this issue in 3.1, so what purpose does it serve to delay 3.2. Those affected will still be affected but nobody else will benefit from 3.2.
Finally, it does not have to wait for months. If we work out the issue with "Gannet Media" and fix it in 3.3 snapshot, I would expect us to backport it.
-
@Ruarí Looking at Jira, the Gannett problem is reproduced. Some locations outside the US could not reproduce it.

Fair enough. Hope you can work it out and glad it's not sites I use daily anyway
@Ayespy Yes, EU (and maybe other locations) are redirected to another server like
eu.usatoday.com
where the issue doesn't happen. So I assume this is only NA users. Probably it's for GDPR reasons. So unless someone in the EU has a VPN set to the US they wouldn't see it.It would be very interesting to know what's been causing it. What I really don't understand is why a site that presumably works fine in Chrome/Chromium would break so totally in Vivaldi. After all, it's the same rendering engine (Blink) underneath right?
-
@ayespy: Ok, will check it out over the weekend. I am not technically working (vacation still), so have not followed everything.
-
@pathduck: It should be but there are differences, e.g. if our ad blocking was enabled. We also do some different things with media.
