Hi, very nice updates.
Thank you team, mib
Edit: @QuHno was 2 minutes faster. -

Very good job, Vivaldi Team !
And my very very very old VB-1706 request is done, thanks!
-
I don't know if I doing anything wrong, but the settings won't show any cookie crumbling dialog to enable this feature.
Vivaldi 3.8.2259.37Anyone else?

@HanZ said in Vivaldi crumbles cookie dialogs, raises the bar on privacy and design:
but the settings won't show any cookie crumbling dialog to enable this feature.
You have to click the "Manage Sources" button and then scroll down the list.
It is an alphabetical list and the cookie settings are both called "Remove ...." -
@TbGbe Thanks, quite hidden, but found it
-
@juanvase: Hey, I need my descriptions because I abuse them for tagging
Maybe optional?
Or make the popup bigger? -
@HanZ The UI for it is still a work in progress:
While we evaluate ways to make the Cookie Crumbler available in our user interface and determine if it can be enabled by default, you can give it a try. Go to Vivaldi’s menu — Settings — Privacy — Tracker and Ad blocking — Manage Sources — Ad blocking sources and enable the “Remove cookie warnings” lists.

Hmm, what led ye to the conclusion that having no clear visual separation between the panel icons themselves and the according content would resemble progress rather than a step back? https://i.imgur.com/i5w79iG.png Either a thin line or a slightly different color seemed just fine.

Thanks for this (activated in Vivaldi Stable 3.8.2259.37)
So I don't need this ImTranslator bar anymore
-
The new panel icons are very nice! Please also replace the toolbar icons with thin lines like this.
It would be nice if the bookmark icon would be more visible when the active page is already saved.
Thank you! -
My own quick selection background image is no longer visible since the update to Vivaldi 3.8.2259.37, how can I make it visible again. In Settings - Themes - Background I have activated my own background image, why is it no longer displayed?
-
The link context menu does not show up for me after upgrading to 3.8.2259.37, and in "menu customization", if I click on "Link", nothing new shows up—it still shows the menu for the last selected option. I clicked "Restore Default Menu" for "Link" but it doesn't help, nothing changes.
EDIT: Resolved: see this thread for how to fix the issue if anyone else encounters a similar issue.
-
Wait, was the "cookie crumbler" ever mentioned during the Snapshot releases?
I see now I have it in my lists in the last Snap, but looking through the changelogs there's no mention from what I can tell?
Anyway, it's a great addition, one more extension I don't need
-
Another extension less (I don't care about cookies)
-
So like...does anyone know if this new Cookie Crumbler feature is a (good) replacement to the "I don't care about cookies" extension? I haven't seen a cookie displayed in like 2 years thanks to that lovely extension and I'd like to use Vivaldi's defaults if possible, but that extension has been a blessing of purging the annoyances of browsing for sure
edit: nevermind, I posted my comment preemptively before I fully finished reading the article. It pretty much answers what I was curious about, kudos to the Vivaldi devs!

Suggestion regarding "Cookie Crumbler":
To still pursue the goal of protecting the users' privacy, have an option to have those blindly accepted cookies (based on this "I don't care about cookies" list) purged automatically as soon as the respective tab is closed.

@stardepp: I know that this message of mine is kind of off-topic, but that's a nice animated gif in your footer.
