Private Window Themes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2022.6

Private window themes Our theme support is second to none but allowing you seemingly endless ways to colorize your windows has come at a price for some users. Outside of certain cues in the address bar, which can be hidden, it can be hard to tell normal and private windows apart. So we are providing […]

@Ruarí First!

@Ornorm Nice one!
Further improvements to our blocker rule support
"Our ad and tracker blocker arrived a couple of releases back but that is not the end of the story. We have been steadily adding support for more of the rules found in popular blocking lists. Today we added a few more. So if you held off on using our blocker and stuck with a third party extension, now might be the day to give ours another try." -
On Linux with an affected locale? Start Vivaldi from a terminal like so

Couldn’t test yet. But I’m curious, does that mean you finally stopped theming the addressfield and searchfield differently in private windows? Because this has been inconsistent since the beginning and still is full of mistakes.
-
@luetage Yes, it uses a whole new theme, and is consistent now.

I really like the new theme for Private Windows. Good job!

@legobuilder26 Please file a bug report for this - thanks. https://vivaldi.com/bugreport/

Built-in adblocker is a good thing.
But don't even think about dropping uBlock Origin support
-
@legobuilder26: Yes if typed something that's not in Vivaldi options it defaults back to private window theme.
-
Why Vivaldis built in adblocker does not block domains, I completely block facebook using ||facebook.com^ but it does not work.

[New][Themes] Allow the use of a sperate theme for private windows (VB-28543)
typo
"sperate" instead of separate -
Nice addition. My suggestion : the option to also set a different speed dial background image. other than that

[Windows][Crash] Fails to start on 10 pro N edition if media pack is not install (VB-68691)
Great fix!

I don't see the need for the "Private Theme" at all.
- If the user has not selected a different theme for Private windows, just show the current theme in Settings, Private Window Theme
- If the user has selected a different theme to the current theme, then show that as selected when opening a private window.

@vort: How would that even work? I've never heard of a browser selectively banning extensions, have you?
-
It's a good thing this page has a "Download Vivaldi" button which haunts you every step of the way down the page. If not for that button, it never would have occurred to me to download Vivaldi.

It's not what he meant, he simply means he won't stop using uBO, and I'm with him, it's too superior than current Vivaldi abilities.
In any case, if an extensions ID is banned on chrome store and you have it installed from chrome store, it will be disabled in Vivaldi aswell automatically when the extensions update check is performed by the browser.http://iancoog.altervista.org/

@ian-coog: I hope the store never does such a thing. I had to play that game once with one that they had dropped but which I was still using. I had to re-enable it practically every day because they kept disabling it. Eventually I gave up and sideloaded the version from GitHub, which is something we could always do with uBO should it happen.
BTW, it's interesting that we don't hear much anymore about the structural changes coming(?) to extensions. That was all anyone could talk about early in the year. The default filter count for uBO (even if you then thrown in Fanboy's Annoyances, which is a big one) is now well below the 200K threshold that was rumored to be the hard line beyond which the new system wouldn't go. If 200K does come to pass, maybe it won't be a big deal for most people after all. I wonder if there has been some filter consolidation to keep the number down.
