Fixes and improvements – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2914.3

[Panino]

Unfortunately it seems this version broke video acceleration on my KDE Neon that I had managed to make work after so much effort. Had to downgrade.

I think there are too many criticisms in this picture. I think this is due to 110 versions of the kernel.
I think the VIVALDI team should consider returning to the previous kernel before the release of a new corrected version of the kernel.

Hi, I guess this will never happen, the snapshot are there to get feedback from the user using an unstable, bugged version.
This is the sense of Beta software.

We recommend Snapshots to developers and advanced users who want a sneak peak of the features we have in store for the final release, while at the same time being patient with us as we debug and improve further.

Cheers, mib

I did not write about the test version, but about the main release 5.7.
I believe that release 5.7 cannot be released with a core of 110, as this will create problems for many users and undermine their confidence in VIVALDI .

That is the Snapshot version. The Stable version is 5.6.

The Vivaldi team is not going to release a stable release of 5.7???

@EricJH Wrong Win7+ version text Is fixed now.
See screenshot:

I noticed 5 minutes after I posted and decided to keep the post. I thought it was funny.

[jsosmd]

Only since snapshot 2914.3:

• gMail, pinned to the Panel, if I click on it with the usual left mouse click, it closes Vivaldi!
• I can still middle-mouse-click on gMail, and it does open as a tab
• I have a dozen other websites pinned to the panel, but they all work
• this occurs even after I restart V with all extensions disabled
  (Windows 10, up-to-date)
  Weird, or what?????

@ian-coog: I've also noticed this...especially so with uBlock Origin and "Enhancer for Youtube"

@jakedfw: This is also happening to me.

@Pathduck I think it worth to be asked as a feature too.
I played with css selectors of material design knobs in past and should be quite simple and secure to revert this ugly choice from the POV of a chromium developer (vivaldi team).
Probably even safer to just invert the color. So enabled status become white when ON.

If have an undocked developer console, the mobile part isn't working anymore.

With a docked console everything is OK.

This bug is an fixed old bug coming again in this version.

VB-94893

@Icehawk_de Thanks, i confirmed the bug now.

@vulture: confirmed bookmark panel too wide

[Thot]

If I have one not private window open and in a private window with e.g. a video running in full screen mode and close the private window with cmd+w in full screen mode, it not only closes the private window but also tears down the not private window. However, Vivaldi has not crashed.

Is there any way to activate extensions with service worker script (inactive)?

Unfortunately, the VIVALDI team has not yet commented on the current situation of MV3 extensions after the migration to kernel 110.

If you are ready to edit the service worker file, you can read how extension developers are trying to work around this problem:
Persistent Service Worker in Chrome Extension.

@kichrot It's strange because it even affects google's extension like https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/picture-in-picture-extens/hkgfoiooedgoejojocmhlaklaeopbecg
I don't know how to activate it even though it is turned on.

I believe that it is a bug of kernel 110.
VIVALDI developers clearly rushed the transition to kernel 110.
I think that VIVALDI developers should not release stable release 5.7 on 110 kernel, without solving existing problem with MV3 extensions.
And, I recommend you to roll back to the previous snapshot, so as not to waste your nerves.

Hi to explain why Vivaldi jump always two Chromium versions was the Chromium project change the release cycle to 6 4 weeks. (Weeks edited)
The Vivaldi team cant fix all issues in this time frame.
Chrome stable 110 release day is February 1, 2023.
I installed uBlock Origin today on a 5.7 build to confirm your bug report VB-94827.

Cheers, mib
EDIT: Confirmed, brightness extension.
uBlock is running fine.
