Vivaldi improves Mail Search and Translate, extends Web Panels with extension support

@dehyde
I use Keep, Slack and Google translate, all fine.
Yes, it is maybe an macOS only issue.
Please add the bug number from the confirmation mail.

The developer prioritize reports but there are hundreds of reports and we have all our pet bugs, me too.

Cheers, mib

Great release with many cool features and fixes! However, please increase the vertical tab width limit! Right now it's at 330 pixels. It is really narrow for modern desktop monitors.

Hi, I hope the developer can fix this and it is not a OOM (Out of Memory) crash.
With 1000+ hibernated tabs I got 700 MB memory usage but maybe the Windows Taskmanager is to slow to show spikes above my 16GB RAM and Vivaldi crash.

how to turn off dark mode for a specific website?

Open panels are now showing up as tabs in the Sessions panel.
On one hand, I understand why this occurs, but on the other hand, this is polluting the list of tabs in the Sessions panel which I would like to focus on standard non-panel tabs. Perhaps panels could go into a collapsible category so that it doesn't clutter up the view?

Hey great update! Keep up the good work

Because my panels have stopped working since this update, is there a way to revert / download earlier builds?

Hi, a user report this but on macOS only, are you on macOS?
There is an archive but you will break your user profile with downgrade Vivaldi.
Is it possible to install Vivaldi as standalone on macOS?

For the Dark Mode:

I would like the forced dark mode to be deactivated on individual pages, that could be integrated into the corner at the bottom right as hacking via the “side actions” window, or in the URL on the right side with the “bookmark” and “qr-code” functions

@stardepp Thank you, that's exactly what I was looking for

dehyde

@mib2berlin I think I am the user you referred to
It's possible to install as a standalone. What does it mean break the profile?

Beholder4096

@mib2berlin: Hopefully not... I don't think so, because after restart Vivaldi has very low mem footprint, even with so many tabs. Even as I write this, it has 2GB footprint, with 42% memory currently used overall. I do not use page file on this machine. That leaves about 9 GB free memory, I can't imagine a spike that big.

@dehyde
It mean you install an older Chromium version over the new one and Vivaldi always jump two versions.
Different database structure, session and extension management, for example.
Downgrade work at first view, all fine, but errors on your system could not reproduced by other user and nobody knows why.

Anyway, you can install older version as standalone, use sync to get it working or copy your default profile folder "Default" to the standalone until this bug is fixed.

Cheers, mib
