Vivaldi crumbles cookie dialogs, raises the bar on privacy and design
-
@Ayespy Thanks for the explanation and agree with you!
-
@outer-star: I lost my background picture for the tabs bar as well. Did you figure out how to get it back?
-
Congratulations and a big thank you for the Vivaldi team providing us the web browser that stands for privacy and security on the world wide web.
Adding further to safety and security, might I request that the next version of Vivaldi Mobile includes support for the Android Autofill API in order to have our browser truly coöperate with different compliant mobile password managers? -
@TinaRussell All of the settings for tab bar background pictures are now in Themes.
-
I notice that in the context menu "Search With", there is now a dot next to the last-used context menu search engine. Is there a way to access that search engine indicated with a dot easily using the keyboard (without changing any settings—I don't want to keep the last selected search engine)?

@elsenwoud: I second all of this! For me the new Bookmark Dialog IS an improvement over the previous one in the way that we can add new folders in it and the tree view, But all of the points you mention are so true and im having exactly the same thoughts and issues, and ive seen a lot of users share the same thoughts as well.
-If you choose to save the BM in a folder in the tree view, it puts it at the Top of that folder and that is so annoying, it should put it a the bottom or at least have an option to be able to choose.
-A new BM is saved to the root of the bookmarks, but it should remember the last folder used instead, or at least have the option to choose where it saves by default.
-The automatic description that is saved almost always adds irrelevant info. that in no way really "describes" the BM, and if i really wanted to add a description now i have to do an extra step by erasing the automatic description first.
-Sometimes the name assigned to a new bookmark is exactly the same as the previous saved bookmark, i dont know if this is a bug but ive seen it happen more than once.
-The Nickname and Description fields when adding a new BM should be collapsed like they were in previous snapshot, it was better that way.I think the vivaldi team really needs to check/consider all of this issues, as ive seen most users share the same thoughts about this.

This happens to me when I stay on the same tab and change the page, dunno if it's only because of youtube or in general.
-
@trickst: I dont think its something related to youtube only, ive seen it happen on youtube as well but also on Instagram and other sites.

@Luxuri said in Vivaldi crumbles cookie dialogs, raises the bar on privacy and design:
When you compare the sidebar and icon size with Opera, Vivaldi is significantly smaller.
I think Opera has the perfect size for both the sidebar and the icons inside.And since when is Crapera (thx @VAPG1974) the measure of comparison , especially when they were spitting in our faces when we were asking for the sidebar for I don't know how many years, before they were forced to do that attrocious version because of the fear losing more and more people to Vivaldi, which was inevitable anyway.
On the contrary what you show takes the whole space of the monitor and with every possible privacy offending social-media/media crap-icon preinstalled. Also in case you haven't noticed the free space in Vivaldi is there for you to add your favorite Web Panels, not like Crapera which only uses it as ad-space to advertise messengers that are willing to pay to be there.
Crapera should be avoided on the whole. One has to only look at their latest hypocritical stance on FloC.You welcome, @npro
Now, I have an issue with this new version; I cannot see my inbox in GMX.com mailservice. I can log in, but I get a blank page only. I disabled the cookie bar cruncher, but to no avail. I had that problem with Brave till today, but now Vivaldi desktop, so I'm now using the android app only.
-
Just a heads up guys: Coincidentally, I'm still getting VB-79025, the blinking I reported. Still getting it on my W7 install.
Sadly I've been unable to test the RCs and announce this earlier...
Otherwise, I gotta say, this is a solid Stable! Well done!
-
God I love Vivaldi
-
@Ayespy I think the size and design is fine, but the functionality of the opera sidebar is better ose messenger, music etc is quite comfortable.
And in appearance the speed dial of opera is much better, it is much cleaner and more aesthetic.But I hope that it will improve every day and the improvement of the sidebar icons is a start ... Especially when they finish the mail client since it must take a lot of time.

I am on this version and I am really happy to see that a bunch of little annoying bugs have disappeared. So, while I am enjoying it; something weird happened: a notification from a closed tab appeared (telegram web specifically). Anyone knows how to stop apps from closed tab apps running in the background? I have tried a bunch of settings but nothing worked.
-
@paralaks The only way I know of is to prevent the app running in the background or deny it notification privileges. Otherwise, shut it down in task manager.
-
@Ayespy Can't disable notifications, not seeing a tab in task manager. I don't even know what "prevent app running in the background" means.
-
@Gwen-Dragon I have already disabled that but it does not make sense that I have to restart Vivaldi. I might open a couple of pages like that several times a day and close them again. I think this should be doable without restarting the browser. From what I understand there is no setting to control it which really sucks.
-
@Gwen-Dragon Oh, I meant I can't because I will need for certain sites but when I close a tab that means I don't want notifications from that tab until I reopen it since I need to focus on something else.
-
After the update, it still shows no option to remove cookie warnings.
-
@gwen-dragon: wow! there it is!
Thanks for the very rapid response
-
Silly question, but how is the cookie warning feature, aside from being a "feature" now, any different than simply having adding the appropriate filter list to the ad blocker in previous releases? I don't see why the results would be any different, but if they are, that would suggest that a filter list didn't previously work properly in Vivaldi.
