Vivaldi crumbles cookie dialogs, raises the bar on privacy and design
-
-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.
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.

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.
-
Took me a long time to finally find the check boxes to remove the cookies. You might want to make that super good feature a little easier to follow - like maybe putting the cookie check boxes higher on the list of the language options. Since the list is alphabetically arranged why not make the option cookie removal rather than remove cookie?
-
Yeah, I don't have the Remove Cookie Warnings option; I followed the instructions, and can get as far as seeing the Sources list...while there are three enabled (ABP, Ads from Vivaldi partners, and EasyList), there is no Remove Cookie variant anywhere in the list that I see.

@darkpoetcc it apears in the adblocker list, but you have to scroll a bit.
