Hi, this work only if Sort Manually is set, does this work with Sort by Title in 6.6?

Cheers, mib

Hi, this happen once to me, remove the feed and add it again solve this for me and I never got it again.
Some user report high CPU usage with mail too but the developer never could reproduce this.
Please add a link to this feed, other user can test it then.

Cheers, mib

@user6741, not for me

...this "Memory Saver" is a scam.
Instead of actually improving the code and using less resources they, (Goolag and the Chromium project) sell this lie taking us for fools.

@mib2berlin
Ah, thank you! I didn't notice it before because mine was always set to "Sort Manually" (im not sure if it changed by itself or if i changed it accidently). Don't know if it works with Sort By Title on 6.6 though

@Panino
Hi, what do you mean with less resources?
And I use mail and calendar and several web panels and extensions, Firefox is default with one tab.

@user6741 I don't know if it's feeds that do it, but I have always had 60% CPU on a 10 year old desktop running Vivaldi with mail in Win10. If I turn the mail module off then it's down to 1-2% CPU!

The task manager shows there are actually two processes each using about 30% CPU. Noticed this and mentioned a few times in the mail forums over the last couple of years.

Since you mention it starts when you add a feed - and since coincidentally one of the devs mentioned feeds adding load earlier in this thread (I think) - I might try removing my podcast feeds (leaving my mail accounts active) to see if that makes a difference. Handy that that we can now export feeds...

@stardepp: Did you spill mustard on your laptop?

[wilsonkun]

Is there a way to turn off the mouse gesture notification at the bottom right every time we activate it?

I gonna test the Memory Saver now over some hours to check if it works good enough.

[pangolin]

@Sdar It's really saddening that Chromium upstream support for wayland is still experimental. Firefox is miles ahead in this regard.

[stardepp]

@Culip I don't have a laptop.

@wilsonkun Not unless you Hide the Status Bar in Settings, Appearance (and the Status Overlay), but why let it bug you? Just ignore it if it is not useful as a reminder.

@DoctorG
Hi, I have open 80 tabs in addition of my always 20, this use 6.5 GB on my 16 GB system.
Open another 20 and Vivaldi use still 6.5 GB, setting is Auto.
I guess this is the limit on my system, 130 tabs.

Cheers, mib

Wow! Vivaldi is awesomer now! Thank you!

It is not possible to save the encryption key in version 6.7

[DoctorG]

@mib2berlin Di did not see much memory saving (around 8-10%) with Auto, similar mem usage as if Memory Saver off.

[mib2berlin]

@DoctorG
If I disable Memory Saver and Lazy Loading usage goes up to 9 GB, with MS on it stops at 6.5 GB.
I think if user are low on memory and use 300 tabs this can help, I don't need this.
