USA Today loading fix – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2009.3
-
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

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.
