Vivaldi fires up performance
-
Performance gains dominate the new update of the Vivaldi browser. The update also includes native support for Apple M1 machines and more customizable options in built-in features.

Whoa, nice

Indeed

Poor performance (slow UI) is the main complaint I hear about Vivaldi, so it's good that you're addressing this.

"[New][Quick Commands][Settings] Search highlight priority options (VB-54530)"
Thanks for this! Just received an email that this has been fixed.(4 year old bug VB-29227). Or rather repurposed as a feature but more options! For context, originally every time you type in QC the default is searching using the default search engine. An update changed this to highlight open tabs instead and I needed to "up arrow" my way to use the search every time.
Thanks Vivaldi Team!

Great, as is tradition

... I have been waiting you
Happy at last :disappointed_but_relieved_face:

Nice rhyme! It's fantastic news that now Vivaldi's 2 times faster on M1 logic processors!
-
Great work Vivaldi team!
The performance improvements in opening new tabs are really noticeable, and I've yet to see a "dead bird" on tab close with this version. Brilliant!
In addition to the performance improvements, a big change for me was the ability to customise the page context menus.
Can't wait for the first 3.8 Snapshot and cool new stuff to test!

Nice. My device really needed the performance boost.
[Tabs] Improve drag and drop between tab bars (VB-74588)
Yep. It's an improvement. It's much, much better, assuming you are dragging and dropping between tab bars. On a single bar it still doesn't feel as snappy as it used to, which may or may not be what you were going for.
That being said, issues are still present. Not sure if it's just for tabs at the bottom, but I need to report that gaps when dragging tabs feels unsatisfying, especially on stable (since school from home has me using stable almost exclusively now). I should go record that.

Awesome to see some big performance improvements! I hope Vivaldi improves hotkey performance next...

Thanks for this great update
But one more question, when will the problem with the German download panel be fixed?

performance improvements are nice but at the end of a day what matters is time and frustration required to finish a task and optimizing it requires friendly UI
and unfortunately there's still so much to do before I can make V my default browser
everything is reported and hopefully tracked internally toobut it may be a good moment to remind you that marking feature request as done when it is not done is simply wrong

I have very weird behavior after updating to this version regarding my pinned Vivaldi icon on the taskbar (Win10): When clicking the pinned icon, the browser doesn't start. When I use the vivaldi.exe directly, it works like a charm. Re-pinning did not help so far.
As a workaround I've pinned vivaldi_proxy.exe to my taskbar which does the trick.
-
Great job.
-
Not listed but VB-76557 "Render bug css backdrop-filter since version 3.6" Also seems to be fixed after the 3.7 update on my pc atleast
Quick test also shows that this one is fixed. VB-73617 "Resize glitch internal PDF reader on two monitors with different scaling". Seems like the UI of the internal PDF is changed anyway (by chomium?)

@Gwen-Dragon Great, thanks. I updated the reply with another bug that seems to be fixed (alteast it is not as buggy anymore as it used to be)
-
As I was trying to record my first bug I just happened to encounter a second one. On stable.

@infosrefanvlad said in Vivaldi fires up performance:
That has to do with the setting "Minimize Active Tab", the new tab dragging doesn't work so well with this setting right now.
Already been reported by me (VB-77817).
