Vivaldi 4.0: Vivaldi Translate and betas of Vivaldi Mail, Calendar and Feed Reader are here
-
Something I was wondering if a dev could clarify: In v3.5, there was a changelog item
- Tile automatically if they were previously tiled (VB-53778)
that caused several users (including myself) no end of grief because it made tab tiling much harder to use if one wanted to open several links from a tiled tab, but at that time we thought that there was no hope of getting it changed back because it was supposedly a "bug fix". In this version, there are now changelog items
- [Tabs] Opening a link in a new (foreground) tab from tiled tab doesn’t work (VB-74417)
- [Tabs] Opening a link in a tiled view causes the new tab to be tiled (VB-73965)
Was the behaviour of opening links from a tiled tab really just changed from an old behaviour to a new behaviour and back to an old behaviour? In any case, I'm very glad that user feedback was taken into consideration in this matter.

1,2,3,4 I declare a browser war
-
@gwen-dragon I can reproduce it easily. My stable installation is unmodifed, so I have no extensions or CSS changes, and I am still using the default shortcuts.
I will try uninstalling and reinstalling from scratch.
Update: Reinstalling has fixed the issue.
-
@gwen-dragon: Cant't wait. Thanks!
-
@zakius The feed reader just got released and you could already use it for months from
vivaldi://experiments/. It also does podcasts, although Vivaldi offers no easy way to add these. -
Youtube video titles look weird after updating. Bolded for some reason.

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