Two-level tab stacks enabled by default – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2137.3

[Quick commands] Nickname search doesn’t trigger (VB-74941)
hooray, or nooo.
open a bookmark folder nickname via QC still don't work -
@ornorm: Trust me, I am the one who is honored!

I absolutely love this over the previous stack UI.
Also, Idk if this is where I comment on a feature to add, but being able to pin the tab stacks when they are 2 level, would be a nice addition. Maybe have you set a custom color for the tab count icon so you don't get confused. Just a suggestion. -
Flag Changes: Chrome 88
Here are a list of interesting flag changes with chrome 88.
Chrome copying, or being better than, vivaldi with new features:
- #scrollable-tabstrip-buttons - scrollable tab bar ow works in chrome, like this request
- #side-panel - For a read later function, doesn't seem to work yet, like this request
- #enable-tab-search - like this request but with searching as well
- #insert-key-toggle-mode - Like in word processors, works with vivaldi notes in visual mode!
New privacy and security "features":
- #enable-webrtc-hide-local-ips-with-mdns - don't know how this works
- #cookies-page-redesign - I can't see any difference
- #privacy-advisor - Can't see any difference
- #detect-form-submission-on-form-clear - making password forms more secure by making sure they actually get removed from the page one submitted
- #permission-predictions - uses safe browsing API to predict permission choices for you
New web technology experiments:
- #font-access-chooser - Don't know how to test, doesn't seem to be any permission UI yet
- "SMS Receiver" is now "WebOTP" - For one time passwords
- #destroy-profile-on-browser-close (?)
- #d3d11-video-decoder - more hardware acceleration
- #shutdown-support-for-keepalive - Delay shutdown if there is a keepalive request active: https://fetch.spec.whatwg.org/#request-keepalive-flag
Removed:
- #allow-insecure-localhost - Bad for local developers?
- #enable-desktop-pwas-without-extensions - google seems to have given up development of this (good.)
- #nearby-sharing - Not sure if this ever worked - looks more useful for mobile devices

Since this update, Vivaldi's CPU usage has increased A LOT. Using Linux 64-bit. I checked Vivaldi's process manager (Shift+Esc) and it seems that it mostly comes from "Browser" rather than extensions and stuff (their usage hasn't increased). System process manager says that Vivaldi is using about 13% CPU, which is apparent as the fans are spinning.
-
It seems that searching using
Post
is broken again in this snapshot. -
@Ruarí Updated previous Snapshot to this one and it now crashes for me whenever I try to access any menu items:
e.g. Help/aboutAlso crashes using vivaldi://about
Same in "Guest Profile"!
If I have two windows open, both disappear!So I tried with a new "Default" Profile
Went through welcome settings, on the final page (Notes/Tiling), I pressed finish and it crashed again!Linux Mint 18.3 KDE

@Gwen-Dragon I'm using Searx as a search engine.
Post
is enabled both in V settings and Searx settings (btw, I may miss something).http://searx.rasp.fr/?q=%s&categories=general&language=fr-FR http://searx.pofilo.fr/?q=%s&categories=general&language=en-US
Thanks for checking.

Very nice. Now... the time has come and Chromium 88 has arrived in Vivaldi Snapshot and with it Manifest v3 that is said to be crippling ad- and most importantly script-blocking extensions, see also https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/54233/the-register-article-on-latest-manifest-v3-status (*)
While Vivaldi's in-built ad & tracking blocker can accept many lists,
-
it is not yet fully compatible with the syntax of all (see uBlock's), so it's missing many thousands of rules,
-
it is lacking CNAME support, see Brave blocks CNAME tracking, what about Vivaldi? , and
-
V will be lacking the ability to block scripts that contain malicious and tracking code, consuming also system resources.
So,
@AlienProber said in The Register article on latest Manifest v3 status.:Vivaldi really needs to make a clear statement on how they plan to address this since it will be in Chrome 88, which is right around the corner.
It doesn't need to be right now, but please enlighten us in the process on how you want to be addressing above 3 points as you so wonderfully do will all (transparent) matters in the blog.
(*)The Register article is writing about "the webRequest API, remaining available in enterprise versions of Chrome and setting up a profile using Chrome's administrator policies" how does it correlate with Vivaldi?
In my opinion, the ad & tracking engine must be further developed to include CNAME exposure and become a more advanced Opera-Presto-like content blocker, working granular like uMatrix, where you can block scripts, css, images, media, frames, etc.

@TbGbe Kinda the same here, segfault on accessing any page, even with a clean
--user-data-dir

@potmeklecbohdan Phew!!
Probably not something I've screwed up then -
@hlehyaric said in Two-level tab stacks enabled by default – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2137.3:
I'm using Searx as a search engine. Post is enabled both in V settings and Searx settings
As I have understood the POST concept, you enable only one of those, either in Vivaldi or in Searx settings.
I could be wrong... but that was advice to me and what I used. -
@Gwen-Dragon If it works for you, all is fine. I presume I don't really understand how this thing is supposed to work…
Thanks for checking. -
[macOS] Update application icon to reflect Big Sur visual direction (VB-75254)
Interesting! I thought these icons were just a little side project @atlemo did for the fun of it. I had no idea they were actually going to be used.
-
@npro: The thing that holds me back from using Vivaldi's ad blocker is the inability to manually pick elements to block, like in uBlock.
-
@potmeklecbohdan I thought I'm the only bug magnet now...
Crashes for me too on Manjaro. Same with a new profile.
Tested with an install via script and via herecura repo.Seems like we need @Ruarí to help again
-
@ouzowtf No problem in my case. Did you uninstall the script before installing via herecura?
-
@Vistaus We all hope that it will be integrated into the native ad-blocker as well (like it used to be in Opera-Presto), in the meantime as a workaround if you are sitting on a somehow "finalized ruleset" for those elements you can export those rules to a text file and import them in Vivaldi.
-
I'm glad that this system works for me, on Ubuntu i use the last stable, on W10 i use the last snapshot, so that's that.
Thanks for great work... -
@npro Yes. I updated via script and everything seemed to be fine. Then the crashes started and I thought this could be a good point to switch to herecura. Uninstalled via script, installed via repo. Started Vivaldi and the crashes were still there. Renamed current profile and opened Vivaldi again (with an automatically created new profile), crashed again.
Tested again without codecs installed -> didn't help.
Uninstalled again, installed via script -> nope.
Uninstalled via script again and installed via repo and now waiting for anything that could help
