Blobby – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 2921.3

@ian-coog: why?

Because Windows7/8 users cannot update Vivaldi anymore, and the installer should block Win7/8 users from installing a version that wouldn't run on their OS.
I for example still have one Win7 32 bit PC at work where I can compile and maintain old legacy programs that can't be compiled or run on 64bit windows, and there I should have old 5.6 Vivaldi, forever.

The button appears for me (see above), but clicking it does nothing.

Works for me 5.7.2921.3 Win 11 22H2.

@mib2berlin: thanks! I won't sync since the icon issue still exists. I have 170 icons and I don't intend to jeopardize anything.

[mib2berlin]

@nutcracker
I can understand that very well, having also a lot of customized icons.
The developer work on a better solution, I hope for the best.

Cheers, mib

That’s ok, however Vivaldi (snapshot) 5.7.2901.3.x64 works in Win 7 as well.

Hi,
Are you running it?

Using Mydigitallife patch?

@Hadden89 This is actually a dead carcass of the Blob sculpin that got taken out of the deep sea, resulting in depressurization and damage to the skin tissue. In their natural habitat, when they are alive, they look more like this.

@Zalex108 5.7.2901.3 is still based on Chromium 108.

Interesting! I've seen that same picture(*) of "the blobfish" pop up for maybe a couple of decades now - never knew it was a kind of fake news.

(*) by which I mean the ugly pink slime-drooling picture that Hadden89 posted, not your picture of a live version.

bugs.. the multimedia keyboards search key when press do nothing. when test on another browser like Chrome and Edge .. that function key aka search key doing fine, do it properly...

Just installed it over 5.7.2887.3.x64;
I don’t use MyDigitalLife

@hapewe

Yes,
Just noticed the mistake about the version.

Even tested and could even install it.

Thx

What changes were made to specifically make Vivaldi no longer Windows 7/8 compatible? Was it the recent bump in Chromium versions?

That's just an announcement with a link to an article justifying dropping support for non-supported versions of Windows (which I have zero problems with). I was curious what actual changes have been made that make Vivaldi incompatible with Win 7/8.

Hi, the snapshots are now on Chromium 110 and this stop the support of Windows 7/8, latest working one was 2901.3.

Cheers, mib

Currently (last two snapshots) I'm getting problems with YouTube videos, either a completely black video or, now, skewed video (each pixel line displaced right). Anyone else?
Also how do I get rid of this annoying popup telling me Bing is accessing my location? Where is it in preferences?

OK, so it's specifically Chromium 110. Thanks.

It's explained on the blog link.
