@Ayespy Thank you for your reply. Hopefully in the future the Login Data file will not become corrupt or if so, there is an available fix for this problem.

Maybe just that 1 download but is worrying none the less.
Today it happened with another downloaded file.
So it really may be fresh bug, introduced in recent builds.
And again, many tabs were open.
But this time I killed browser faster.
Not allowing it to crash half of the system -
I haven't tested this in a while (because I haven't had any crashes in a long time), but as a little project I made a script that automatically sets up the debug for vivaldi snapshots.
It generally follows the instructions for snapshots on the Vivaldi help page.
Basically, it will check if you have the debug file for the current version of vivaldi-snapshot. If you don't, it downloads the debug file and copies it to /opt/vivaldi-snapshot, then it runs vivaldi-snapshot with the debug. If you already have the appropriate version of the debug file then it should just run vivaldi-snapshot with the debug.
If find it easier to use than reading through the instructions. I only tested it on Linux Mint. https://gist.github.com/ugly95/eeba94a5e1422c4d49725ac328fd553c

The Ctrl-click on URL feature doesn’t work when the address field is focused—can somebody please confirm this?
This is quite a great bug if you have the address bar hidden.
-
Small update regarding "fork-bomb":
It happened 3rd time.
Now with only 2 tabs open.
And now I am sure that large memory consumption comes from lots of spawned processes (300+ this time). -
@potmeklecbohdan It seems to work fine with the address bar hidden when using Ctrl+L to focus the address bar, but I get an error if I Ctrl+Click slightly off target. It will try to go to:
- https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic (which fails, instead of):
- https://forum.vivaldi.net/
-
@Pesala Strange, yesterday it didn’t work at all, now it works as you describe (it seems to me that you have to click one level higher, to go to root you have to click on non-top-level part of the domain).
I’ve reported it as
VB-70804
URL cropping uses wrong level with focused address field. -
"Fork glitch" happens with almost every download.
Only difference is how many processes are spawned.
I have tried to capture useful information with Process Explorer:
Do anyone know what--service-sandbox-type=icon_reader
means?
upd. Glitch happens between the start of download and Save As dialog appearing. After dialog is shown, extra process count starts to decrease.
upd2. So it looks like Vivaldi tries to load icon from downloading file and if it happens not instantly, then it tries again, adding slowdown and making even harder for it to load icon.
What a software design, when separate process is needed to load an icon! -
Thanks for this snapshot.
Can we expect version bump to chromium 86 soon?
I'm interested in using the declarativeNetRequest with ModifyHeaderInfo to set headers e.g. referer from within a webExtension as explained here https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/declarativeNetRequest#type-ModifyHeaderInfo.
At the moment trying to modify a header results in
rules.json: Rule with id 2 couldn't be parsed. Parse error: 'HeaderOperation': expected "remove", got "set"; unable to populate array 'RuleAction'. -
@eruzo: Which registry key(s) did you edit? I saw multiple ones containing the version string.

Snapshot update URL (https://update.vivaldi.com/update/1.0/win/appcast.x64.xml) isn't returning this as the latest snapshot. Did this endpoint change?

@Gwen-Dragon I was lucky to not have any problems updating to 2009.3 then

@bc3tech You should visit the Snapshot blog for information.
Read this!Known Issues
Windows autoupdate disabled as some users are losing the install on upgrade
— https://vivaldi.com/de/blog/snapshots/desktop/usa-today-loading-fix-vivaldi-browser-snapshot-2009-3/Server can not send a newer version than 2001.3, because devs do not want to breaks users Snapshot installation.
Download installer by hand and install if you are brave enough.
Thank you - I only noticed because the automation I've written to pick up new versions was breaking, so I don't pay too much attention to the formal announcements.
