Old users never been part of the project, it seems
So true! We were all very slow to realise this, in the O15+ forum, as update after update rolled out yet never redressing our complaints & entreaties. Some of the online staff's posts' misdirections & obfuscations to us were astounding.

Do you remember they were saying that users don't need bookmarks...
-
@Stardust Of course, they also said that too many functions confused users, which is why most of the old users abandoned them.
-
But can you make Vivaldi not run 7x TIMES SLOWER than Chrome?
-
@Kein 7 times.???
is there a technical test to prove this which you can provide...?.seems very precise..not 5 0r 6 but in fact SEVEN times..please tell. -

Absolutely i do, yes. That was one of their herculean efforts in silliness & disingenuousness. They stonewalled for such an amazingly long time on that point alone.
I still recall my sense of stunned disbelief when i first installed O15. I just sat there, staring at it, with an internal voice repeatedly asking "wait... what, this is it? This? Where are all my settings & options?". Compare & contrast that emptiness to the richness of what we had right from the beginning in V TP1 -- chalk & cheese.

Exactly! And then as an Opera refugee I had to switch to the Firefox...

Hi,
Have you tested on a Clean Profile?
Whatever extrange behavior should be checked on a Clean environment.- "Right side" |
Rename it as Tests or something related, and use it as a Clean Profile, to test without custom configurations that can alter the original operation.
Since the result, check:
- Active Experiments
- Extensions - Tip
- Clean Cache
- Site Data
Or fill in a Bug Report.
Consider open a Topic and explain there if necessary.

Exactly. I genuinely almost thought it was a joke after all the build up about this amazing new step into the Chromosphere - they're pulling the leg of all the nay-sayers. Then I thought; well this must be just a REALLY early prototype with a bunch of features being finished for the true final release in a few weeks, right...?!?
Sadly not.

I just never moved beyond O12... until the first public Vivaldi release. Hallelujah!

Well, I had a problem with sites compatibility + security concerns. I still have Opera 12.18 portable somewhere.

@Stardust Heehee...

@Steffie this is epic! Good memories. I am too lazy to boot into the Windows, so here is a screenshot instead

@Stardust OT [gasp!].
Spoiler
Since i switched from win7 to Nix in 2014, & subsequently distro-hopped my way around, i have installed O12.16 in each of my on-SSD Nixes. As we all know, it's largely more sad than productive these days, yet i simply can't bear the thought of uninstalling it. I still hang on to my sliderule, my TI-59, & my O12 through thick & thin, despite none of them being actively in use for mega-yonks, simply because the idea of scrapping them seems like some kind of heinous technological crime.

@stardust: Well, no need to drag and drop because in Chrome 87 they have added auto group functionality. Enable them under "chrome://flags/#tab-groups-auto-create".

Tabs.That does not help Horizontallers, however. Let them eat cake?
