There is a Bookmarks Toolbar for that.

I think he meant a bookmark toolbar that ONLY shows when a new tab page is shown.

@pesala: No actually I mean bookmark folder. there's no option to add image here so I can show you what I mean.

Yes precisely. Both options also available in Firefox

@Culip What do you mean by that, a keyboard shortcut toggle?

'cause the option is already there in the Settings

Some users have crashes after starting Vivaldi.
The devs are working on a fix at this time.

️ If you encounter crashes, do not downgrade to 5.2!

@ChristianM1 You can upload images from the last icon on the message reply toolbar. This option may be blocked for new users, but you now have 2 reputation points, which should fix that issue.

I use some CSS to autohide the bookmark toolbar. It works on any tab, including on the Start Page.

/* Simple AutomaticBookmark-bar */

.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar {margin-bottom: -28px; z-index: 1; transform: translateY(0); transition: transform 0.1s 0.5s !important;}

.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar::before {content: ''; position: absolute; height: 12px; width: 100%; top: 100%;}

.bookmark-bar-top .bookmark-bar:not(:focus-within):not(:hover) {transform: translateY(-100%);  transition: transform 0.1s 0.5s !important;}

@jon , thank and shared, but I don't see this update to 5.3, it says that my 5.2 is the current last version.

@Catweazle Windows only at the moment, I assume that Linux and Mac versions will come soon.

Catweazle

@Pesala , I use Windows

DoctorG

@Catweazle A dev said that autoupdate was halted on 5.2 as some users have crashes.

Catweazle

@DoctorG , I know, but I searched for updates in the menu.

zakius

it's the second time when you put editable toolbars as the title of the release while the feature is not finished yet
and this

giving you full control over your toolbar layouts

is simply not true, extensions are still tied as a single element and the sidebar is a completely separate entity

and again: I do understand it takes time and you have very limited resources, all I'm asking for is transparency and honesty

@Pesala The blog does mention that linux and mac versions are available and the linux version is being offered as available via the download page.

Linux packaging systems comprise more than only deb & rpm .

@DoctorG , I updated it from the page, but now I can't open Vivaldi, it crashed after few seconds. Now i?m conected with FF.

I don't remember we Snappiers experiencing these? Did we, & i've forgotten? If i've recalled correctly, then why would 5.3 Stable crash when 5.3 Snappies did not? Afaik this same pattern arose with several previous Stables too, when the Snappies were solid. I don't understand.

Priest72

@guigirl That is true.
Appimage format would be most appreciated.I use the debian on my machine.

@guigirl Because of incremental upgrades I suppose, hickups much more manageable and traceable that way instead of jumping versions, kinda like the rolling vs. fixed distro analogy (aka rolling superiority)

P.S. Also by "some users" I assume a fraction of MS Windows users is meant, it being the dominant OS.

Yes, only some Windows users are affected, but still a significant number of users given how dominant an OS it is.

@catweazle: Yes, that crash on startup is why the autoupdate was disabled. The devs are working on a fix.
