Vivaldi 4.0: Vivaldi Translate and betas of Vivaldi Mail, Calendar and Feed Reader are here
-
Pretty cool to have this roll out so fast, but it RSS, e-mail and calendar are not working right for me after adding some Google accounts to test it out. Even after syncing thousands of items Vivaldi runs so slow I've had to force close it multiple times. Closing the mail or calendar tabs takes ~45 seconds or more after I've been poking around and reading items. CPU use is also hovering around 80% any time those panels are open, on a Core i7 with tons of memory.
Edit to add, this appears to be due to the large amount of data being synced, but everything is still really sluggish when any of these features are open. Sorting doesn't work in e-mail, either. It only sorts in some random order no matter what I select, and none of the buttons to show/hide feeds/IMAP folders/etc work except for the Show Deleted Items. It's definitely still beta-quirky!
-
@crackedlcd , not so here, fast and smooth with only a cuart of tons of RAM in a cheap laptop.
-
@catweazle Did you sync an IMAP e-mail address, or POP? I'd say between my Gmail account (IMAP) and my Calendar accounts, it had to sync 200,000 entries before it was all said and done. I initially had it set to prefetch full messages, which may have been part of the slowdown.
And for whatever reason, only a fraction of my e-mails and calendar events ever showed up in Vivaldi, too.
I'm still calling this whole thing broken at the moment. None of the filters seem to work, and it says I have 53 unread e-mails at the bottom of the screen on the little status bar but nothing is listed anymore β read or unread β in the e-mail panel.
-
@crackedlcd , no IMAP, well, maybe the reason is this and the amount of mails. Also I don't use Gmail in Vivaldi (Google and Vivaldi, bue..), and Vmail still in beta.
-
Tried using Vivaldi Mail for Gmail setup, but failed, got this error: "Login for incoming server failed. IMAP server responded with: invalid credentials (Failure)" Its my correct email and password, using Vivaldi 4.0 stable, but Google blocks me from logging in. I even get an email from Google saying they blocked a suspicious login even though I confirm it's me, but Google doesn't tell me how to unlock Vivaldi to allow it. Sigh

From the βWhat's newβ in the Play Store:
Fixed an issue with password managers so LastPass, etc, are working again!
Has anyone had any success with LastPass on Android?
It does now seem to more reliably offer to fill usernames and passwords, but offers to fill in my vivaldi.net credentials (only), so that's not very useful. -
And, sadly as usual, otherwise as promised here no translate icon shows up.
-
@jon Yea, thanks for this awsome update. Totally messed up my scaling, need to set both zoom factor of UI and Websites to 65% still right click menu is oversized af.
Classical case of optimized to shit. -
@catweazle well is 32bit linux supported now or not.?
-
This is amazing! Congratulations to Vivaldi Team!

If you set the panel to floating and opacity to 75, is your panel blurred correctly?
This was a regression from a feature added recently (v.3.8 if I'm not mistaken) and it was reported very early in this branch. It renders the floating panel nearly unreadable with maximum transparency. And yet it makes it to stable
I find the bookmarking behavior is still rather obtuse and broken, folder state is still not remembered, folders are (still) not sorted, autosaves to a location not selected, still doesn't save some pages, doesn't remember some pages are already saved (found this to be a problem on Reddit pages), etc.
On the plus side, mail and calendar have been working well for me so it's nice to see them making their way into a more prominent role for the browser
-
Please bring the calendar and mail features to android.

These articles should always list the full version number somewhere in the article itself. Even the changelog doesn't mention it. Not ideal for the historical record to say the least.

@jamesbeardmore As of Chromium 89, the minimum CPU requirements are processors that support SSE3. However, the underlying Chromium code may still be unhappy running on some older systems due to other hardware incompatibilities, even if the processer itself is still officially supported.
At some point, the Chromium team will make another bump to the minimum hardware requirements and that could spell the end for 32-bit x86 support.

@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.
I get what you're saying, but I know it's not 64-bit capable . It's an Intel Atom N270. That CPU was launched in 2008 and is most-definitely 32-bit. I even tried to boot a 64-bit kernel just in case. You get a funny message, something like "Cool OS, shame about the hardware though"!
I think Intel continued releasing new variants of the 32-bit Atom up to around 2011 but I don't know how soon afterwards they ceased production and how soon after that manufacturers stopped installing them in machines. I'm relying on that time-lag and the fact that there is a lot of old hardware in remote regions and poor areas, for 32-bit support for a year or so more.

Yes, that much I'd worked-out for myself. I was just hoping there's something like
$ vivaldi --dont-accelerate-anything --mode=dinosoar-hardware --i-dont-have-nvidia-or-ati --be-as-slow-as-pre-quantum-firefox --its-still-2005
I could run, to get around the "other hardware incompatibilities" (crashing when trying to see if hardware-acceleration is possible).
I might see if I can disable hardware-acceleration in a working V, and then copy the profile over so it hopefully never even tries to use it.

Vivaldi 4 The Win!
-
@jamesbeardmore I suppose you could try launching with switches such as
--disable-gpu --disable-gpu-compositing
-
@sjudenim: I see this regression too. The configuration, Themes > COLOR > Opacity > Enable Blur, is ignored
4.0.2312.24 (Stable channel) for Windows. -
@jon Is there any update regarding the separate feed reader interface?
