6.5 Stablisation begins – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3206.24
-
Updated and now I'll wait to see how this snapshot behaves…
-
Still seem to be having issues with discord server icons needing to be rolled over to show them as visible
-
Crashes immediatly after update
-
[macOS] Dictionary appears above the selected word (VB-86514)
[Performance][Themes] Rendering theme previews results in high CPU/GPU load and UI rendering problems (VB-101691)
This is nice, I have a lot of themes, so I tend to see this every time I visit the themes settings page.
-
Is that notification to restart the browser notification new on Linux? I don't think I noticed it until this update.
I guess, technically, it would have been added to the previous snapshot to appear for this update.
-
Still forcefully autocompletes whatever I type into address bar, which is getting really annoying.
-
In my opinion, Vivaldi is the most customizable and feature-packed browser. After that, it should be the safest/secure browser, and for this, the appropriate features should be provided in the next versions.

@Ruarí
Thank you for the comprehensive updateand your nice photo.
-
now I've to read all the missed rss messages, enough for the weekend (thank you!)
-
Short question: Does anyone else have the problem that the Vivaldi update breaks the current setup? I can try to open the Snapshot version, but it will get closed after some seconds - if it ever opens at all. Does anyone experience such issues with this new Snapshot version on Windows (10, used as standalone)?
-
I just updated, and it crashes about 1-2 seconds after startup.
I ran it with
start vivaldi --disable-extensions
and it won't crash - but then when I went and edited the SecurePreferences file to disable all my manually installed extensions, it did not help, still crashed just after startup as before, so not sure if its really my manually installed extensions. -
Seeing the known issues and the crash reports I'm wondering if it could be related to borked mail profiles.
I reported previously an issue with the rebuild option: (VB-98550) Vivaldi crashes during the "Rebuild Mail Search Database" process
So adding one to the other I'm wondering if updating to this snapshot won't make my browser crash... -
Need some help here, just updated to the latest desktop and after the update can no longer use Vivaldi. It opens for 1 second and closes. Not sure what to do and don't want to lose my settings etc so will wait for some advice before manually doing anything. Never had this problem prior to today's update. Tried to reinstall but same thing happens. Not sure where the issue is coming from.
-
It certainly makes sense to write a bug report for Windows.
-
@zenonseth: Same for me, i was able to get it running again doing the same thing but I need the extensions -
-
100% sure its the profile. ran it with extensions disabled and it worked, added new profile, it worked normally, but when going back to the original profile, it did the same thing where it opens for 1 second and closes. I sure hope this gets resolved quickly. Wasted a Friday evening on this!!

@joebobby
But it is a snapshot, not a stable.With a bug report you help to make Vivaldi better and better.
-
@joebobby It's not going to be extensions in general. It's going to be one single extension, almost for sure. And unfortunately if Vivaldi tried to chase extension compatibility, that would be all they would ever do. Development otherwise would cease. There are over 150,000 extensions.
-
Is there a way I can get my settings/extensions loaded into stable build? Can I uninstall it without lose settings???
-
@joebobby I assume you're running Snapshot. There are a few things you can try. Some entail risk as you are plugging Stable in to a Snapshot profile and it may not be entirely compatible. Before you do anything, though, back up your existing profile ("Default") folder, so that it's there if you have to go back to Snapshot.
Method 1: Install Stable in its own space (preferably standalone) Then copy the Default folder (Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default) from your Snapshot directory into the new Stable directory. You can either rename the existing Stable Default folder first or, if you're adventurous, let your OS combine the old and new default folders. See if the new Stable install runs OK.
Method 2: Install Stable right over the top of your existing Snapshot build.
Method 3: (This is without risk, and it preserves all your data, but you have to spend a few minutes when you are done setting up your settings how you like, because you won't be transferring them over.) Install Stable in its own space. Preferably standalone. Then copy all of your data files one at a time from Snapshot and replace the ones in your Stable with them. This way you get a new Stable, but with the Bookmarks, Login Data, Cookies, History, Extensions, Sessions, Tabs, etc. that your existing install has.
Method 4: Use Sync. Install Stable, delete all of its bookmarks, and then sync it with Snapshot. You will transfer all of your data and some of your settings and will have to re-set the rest of your settings.
