were crashing the Vivaldi Settings if you would type anything into the searchbox

omz, is that the cause of this pita? sheesh! i'm away from my "vivaldi pc" atm so can't yet test it, but... if i've understood you correctly, "simply" removing --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint from my current custom launcher should make v's settings' search field usable again? i had chosen not to bother mentioning this pita in the forum months ago when it began occurring to me, coz, tbh, i'm pretty tired of the constant bugs... like eg this snappie "disappearing" all my v menu content, ffs!

however, if i do remove that switch from my launcher, doesn't that mean i'm allowing this gargle tracking thingie? [i know you wrote "were blocking the API part but not the header part", but i don't really understand the implications].

it does that, yes

"simply" removing --disable-features=UserAgentClientHint from my current custom launcher should make v's settings' search field usable again?

very probable, like 99% yes

I can feel you, though I can't figure out why that is happening to you only, as mine are there untouched, and the snapshot is not crashing.

yes you allow it, but you were allowing "half of it" anyway.
You can test it here: https://user-agent-client-hints.glitch.me

@npro thanks!

how know you this arcane stuff, oh yoda?

[npro]

@ybjrepnfr There's no knowledge in those, just cause and effect from the constant fighting with f* Gargle's pile_of_poo . I wonder when I will drop the towel permanently.

rumour has it, allegedly, that some have tried, even several times, yet perversely somehow the masochism-magic still keeps drawing them back. nobody can explain it...

woohoo!!!

went back through my historical backups & luckily/happily found one whose file /home/meee/.config/vivaldi-snapshot/Default/mainmenu.json is NOT empty like the current buggered one had become. copied this old one into my current Default profile, & now am back in business:

pics of my recovered menu

ofc, the unanswerable-as-usual question is... why did this snappie decide to murder my default profile's mainmenu.json? thank dog i had a backup.

[npro]

@ybjrepnfr actually, now that I think of it, I should have used the phrasal verb "throw in", not "drop" ooopsie

[ybjrepnfr]

@npro it's ok... as long as you always know where your towel is, regardless of thrown or dropped, you're still a hoopy frood.

[npro]

T-minus 14d as of today.

@Hadden89

It has to do with filters and fix by @gudmundurg74

Here's the description

1. Create a filter that has e.g. query "from:X" where X is some email address you have gotten mails from.
2. Wait for the filter to run and observe that the filter's folder has some messages in it.
3. Change the filter so that the query has a different email address (which should exclude all the messages that are already in the folder.
4. Wait for the filter to run and observe that new messages are added to the folder but the previous messages, that should now be excluded, are not removed.
   Expected behavior: After the filter has fully run the messages in the folder should be exactly those that match the filter, no more, no less.

@npro i hereby officially volunteer to be the ignorant fool who simply has to ask...

huh?

Ran on Debian 11 KDE the fix for Linux codecs from https://forum.vivaldi.net/post/668180
Strange, Chrome 114 plays this DRM protected video smooth whereas Vivaldi 6.1 stutters.
6.0.2979.22 Stable without stutter!

tis fine here in firefox-nightly 115 and vivaldi 6.1.3023.3 / Chrome 114.0.5735.31

can't confirm either.

[DoctorG]

@ybjrepnfr I guess you use Arch?

[DoctorG]

@npro Perhaps Arch's codec is different from Ubuntu's. I can not test Arch atm.

[ybjrepnfr]

@DoctorG yes i do...

Operating System: Arch Linux 
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.106.0
Qt Version: 5.15.9
Kernel Version: 6.3.4-zen1-1-zen (64-bit) *
Graphics Platform: Wayland
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 4600

* yeah yeah, @npro, shoosh ... i know the next version is already available, but i don't feel like a reboot today.

[npro]

@DoctorG Probably... I forgot you just got the codec 4 days ago with ruari's latest instructions for systems with older glibc versions like your Debian 11.
