Vivaldi 4.0: Vivaldi Translate and betas of Vivaldi Mail, Calendar and Feed Reader are here

zakius

@luetage but the import stopped working since it was experiment, performance is terrible and there are few usability things to improve before it can replace what I'm using now, most of features Vivaldi adds get released and development stops just a step or two before turning from "doesn't make any difference" to "awesome"

This update is absolutely incredible. I never thought a browser could get SO much better.

We will have to try everything and see which is the best of all the new options.

This is pretty cool. Now I just need iOS version that has functioning Sync so I have a purpose of using Vivaldi. Without iOS version with Sync, I can't really start using it. I hope iOS version will be released soon.

@shadess Vivaldi doesn’t change styling on webpages with the exception of Reader Mode and Page Actions. Google uses a webfont for Youtube, so Vivaldi’s settings can’t influence this either. It’s one of your extensions doing this. Did you disable remote fonts in your adblocker, or are you running any extensions for Youtube?

Shadess

@luetage: will have to check extensions. Happened after updating vivaldi and did nothing else tho.

@rejzor if you want iOS variant make Apple accept browsers in App Store

Shadess

The translation function should be accessible on all pages. For example, I have my browser set to English, but I am not a native English speaker and sometimes I might like to translate something that I currently couldn't because the functionality isn't available if the page is in the same language as your browser settings.

So just always keep the translate icon visible in the address field, or at least add a translate page option in to the right click menu. Basically do what Chrome does related to this as it works fairly well.

Thanks for the native translate functionality. In place translation functionality in a browser is really quite handy and has been something sorely missing from Vivaldi.

@zakius Correction, get Apple to accept other browser engines. Browsers are already accepted into the app store and you can even change your default browser.

@altcode safari skins can't be really considered browsers though

rejzor

@zakius There already are browsers other than Safari. Even if they use the rendering engine, that doesn't change much. Firefox has basically the same functionality minus extensions. Which is annoyance, but isn't a massive issue.

AltCode

@zakius They're not skins though. They use the same browser engine as safari (WebKit), just like Vivaldi uses the same browser engine as Chrome (Blink/Chromium). That's where the similarities end.

Pesala

@shadess There is already a Translate page option that you can add to the context menu in Settings, Appearance, Menu Customization, Web Page, Page (context menu).

Shadess

Don't have remote fonts disabled in uBlock. Also tried disabling all extensions, restarted Vivaldi and still getting this. Guess I'll have to spend actual time digging into this later

Shadess

@pesala: Yup, added it. Think this should be done by default tho, like it is there in Chrome.

zakius

@altcode all ios browsers are equally crippled making them as meaningless as chromium clones on desktop or android, if nothing is changed why even bother?

Amazing release! Great work!

Wow, this is fantastic! Possibly a complete game-changer for V if enough of the zombie masses notice it! It's running perfect on 64-bit here.

Just a couple of questions -

Do you plan to continue support for 32-bit? The current version for download (for both 32-bit and ARM) seems to still be 3.77. Also, has the current 32-bit version actually been tested or has anyone else got it to work? I booted-up my netbook the other day and found V wouldn't load at all. (I guess it must have updated to 3.77). So I tried from the terminal and it tells me a bunch of cryptic error messages and then mentions something to do with my pre-historic Intel i915 graphics. I'm guessing it's a hardware-acceleration issue. Unfortunately, even deleting my V profile on that machine doesn't help. Is there a command-line option to force software-rendering I can try? OS is Debian Buster, kernel is 4.19-PAE i686. CPU is Intel Atom and netbook has integrated Intel graphics. Firefox is OK on that netbook, but Vivaldi really flies and makes browsing similar to using a new PC so I'd be sad to lose it. (I cling on to this netbook because of its extremely small size despite full qwerty keyboard, low power-consumption and the fact it's served me well and not contributed to our mountain of e-waste for 13 years and counting). I do appreciate we're rapidly approaching the point where your small x86 userbase won't be worth wasting the time and effort compiling V-i386 though.

Also - I can understand all the bookmarks that get added on new install (e.g. hotels.com, amazon, aliexpress) - it helps fund V development - but why do lots get added/re-added on update? I clear out the ones I don't use and leave just the ones I do, to support V but keep things tidy. But after you've configured a browser the way you want it, really the user's bookmarks should be left alone. Not a massive problem, just a bit of a minor annoyance.

If you set the panel to floating and opacity to 75, is your panel blurred correctly?

Catweazle

@jamesbeardmore , 32bit is relative, although your computer uses 32-bit software, it doesn't necessarily mean your hardware is too, so I know, manufacturers stopped making 32bit CPUs in 2005.

Finally🥺

Thanks everyone for your hard work all these years

Now, please focus on the Performance of Vivaldi's UI... The UI is still sluggish (better after the recent performance update BUT still sluggish)
