Private Window Themes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2022.6
-
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.
Filter count ... count count count ... with respect this simply misses the bigger part of the point re why the gargle proposal is so hideous. It applies somewhat to uBO, but it applies hugely to bigger & more powerful sister uMatrix. People like me want the forensic control of the granular dynamic filtering rules that the user can deploy per site & page. If gargle get their evil way, we lose that capability completely [!= my opinion; this is direct from the uBO & uM Dev @gorhill]. That would be a shocking thing. The static block-lists are merely the iceberg tip,

@pathduck: I've noticed that Vivaldi will ignore one or more filter lists when you have multiple filter lists enabled at the same time, so maybe the update caused my YouTube Sidebar filter list to start being ignored?
-
I disabled the filter list, then re-enabled it, and now it works fine... Maybe the cached copy of the filter list was somehow corrupted during the upgrade of Vivaldi?

Simply loving the last builds

Otoh, it is in the SolydK repos, & happily:Vivaldi 3.3.2022.6 / Chrome 85.0.4183.84
even with

ie, the workaround i posted late in the previous Snapshot's thread, has "stuck", without any further manual intervention needed by me.
I thus wonder if
[Crash][Linux] Vivaldi based on Chromium 85 fails to start with certain locales: Start from a Terminal like so
$ LC_MESSAGES=en_US.UTF-8 vivaldi-snapshot&might not be needed to be followed by others now... ?

@sjudenim: The contrast in your theme is very low to begin with, and that propagates to the other colors. You'll need to increase the brightness of the Foreground color to fix this. But the first screenshots you shared does not look like Vivaldi at tall - is it a different browser, or just heavily modified Vivaldi?
-
please fix this troublesome bug in time for the next release [VB-70371]...
-
while you guys are at it, please also let us customize the text color of inactive tabs so we can more easily spot the active tab [VB-58848]...

@chas4: If it does not respond that means it already run in the background (silently). All you have to do then is restart your browser and you will already be on the latest version

They would have to add fancy contrast-detection or something.
You mean like this setting that we already have?
-
@steffie: Yes but now your browser is using the wrong English forever (or until you manually change it back in settings). Mine is a temporary change that can be dropped once we fix the bug
P.S. Thanks for your help on this

Not really, no. Because I was talking about users who intentionally (or not) set their theme to very low contrast, and then are unable to read the address bar because of the URL obfuscation.
The contrast setting wouldn't help, because they might like a very low-contrast UI for some reason. But they still want to be able to read the URL...

No you are incorrect, & my previous notes explicitly mentioned this. The initial V-SS launch after changing
en_AU.utf8
to another locale, seems to "clear" whatever was previously blocking the launch. Then, i can, & HAVE, reverted toen_AU.utf8
... subsequent V-SS launches then continue to succeed.Furthermore, the new SS has now arrived in Arch. I have just finished updating my Arch VM [not yet my real Arch on Tower], & the new SS still launches again, still with
en_AU.utf8
, because i did that locale two-step the other day. As i said, i did explicitly document this in the forum. -

Can't they just turn the address highlighting off, then?
There's an option to do so in settings as "Highlight Base Domain in Address".

@LonM Doesn't work in this and last snapshot. Doesn't actually do anything.
-
@iAN-CooG Yep, is definitely a bug.
-
@iAN-CooG ah, yes, you're right. If someone wants to file a bug report for this, I'll confirm it in the bug tracker.
-
@LonM Sure, I'll bite. Hang on... Reported as VB-71142.
