Toolbar customization, settings reset and disabling the autoplay of videos – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2679.3

@Durtro Ta -- haha, i explicitly did read the CL from top to bottom, then updated, then began going thru the settings. Clearly those few minutes were more than enough for me to completely forget again.

Clicking on address bar drop-down suggestions (bookmarks or history) doesn't work since previous build. You must resort to using arrow keys and {enter}

Hi, huge bug fix list, nice.
Does anybody test the autoplay setting?

[New][Audio][Settings] Option to disable autoplay for video and audio (VB-17431)

It seams not to work on any page I test this, Youtube, Cnet and many more.

Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin Did you refresh pages after disabling autoplay in settings? It works fine here (Windows 10).

Ditto in Linux.

[New][Settings] Option to reset to default for every section (VB-7696)

I'm confused, didn't we already have this?

The toolbars have a bug that wasn't present in the previous release. Spacers are now highlighted when hovering over the toolbar

Now it resets twice to make it extra default

Wow, that's a changelog. Good work, folks, can't wait to get testing.

[New][Toolbars] Create a drag-and-drop toolbar customization mode (VB-70320)

Huzzah! It's one step closer to being here now! Though I still don't understand why the dragging modifier key was changed to ctrl (cmd on macOS) or why it is still needed now that we have this mode...

[Address bar] Modifier key + click on history back/forward buttons doesn’t work as intended (VB-89106)

Great to see this was fixed, though modifier key + click on the reload button still doesn't work as intended; for those unaware, this was another way of cloning the active tab (VB-89154).

Thank you, I set it global but setting at page does not work, too. Open: https://www.cnet.com/science/biology/dolphins-taste-their-friends-pee-to-identify-them/

Scroll down a bit pop up with video start, reloaded or not.

Vivaldi 5.3.2679.3 / Chrome 102.0.5005.55 on Linux.

@Aronand The changelog sure is big this time, but doesn't it also include a bunch of changes from the previous snapshot?

For example: VB-7696, VB-89066, VB-89028, VB-88846, and VB-89048 were mentioned in the previous snapshot's changelog, so why were tey mentioned today as well.

@mib2berlin Can you find another website where the video content is not an ad? I'm not seeing it (with the adblocker disabled), since it's probably shown only in your location.

27th and a lot of things to try out

@mib2berlin I have the same problem on my end, HOWEVER! It works perfectly on a new, fresh profile. Currently fiddling with my settings to see what's making that setting not work on my normal profile, will edit this message when I find what broke it.

EDIT : Found the issue! The autoplay blocker doesn't work properly if you manually allow it for another website!
In my specific case, I disabled it globally but allowed it specifically for Tweetdeck (because autoplay blockers tend to make gifs wonky on Tweetdeck). I removed the custom authorization for Tweetdeck and now it's all good! Should I submit this as a bug report, since it's probably not intentional behavior?

EDIT 2 : Submitted it as a bug report (VB-89378), since I can easily reproduce the bug.

@amkitakk @pafflick
Nice find, I have a clean test profile and there it works.
I will check to disable/remove extensions as first try.

Cheers, mib
EDIT: Remove all extensions except Forum Mod does not help.

The autoplay block feature is half working, some site work some don't, making it useless exactly as the half working adblocking feature. Still have to use extensions as if the features aren't there anyway.
