Chromium bump to 126 – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3371.4

[yngve]

@Pathduck important/!important handling changed radically in 126 and does not seem to work anymore; all important/!important usage was removed from page actions as part of the 126 update.

[Preorian]

BUT, it's not that simple. I just noticed on another site that this happens:

(all links opened are in the same website)

1. Open a link in BG -> opens in FG = BUG
2. Open a link in BG (from the 2nd tab that was just opened) -> opens in BG = as expected
3. Change to the 3rd tab
4. Open a link in BG -> opens in FG = BUG

It repeats just like that. It's just weird.

Open in background is broken is some use cases
I added a link to your first step by step description.

Do you have a link to what changed?
My test cases show it's not just page actions - all !important clauses fail for CSS filters specifically. Possibly other CSS properties. And in any case, even if !important is ignored, it should still apply the style - but instead it just fails to apply the style at all.

EDIT: This is a Chromium bug since 126 something. It ignores CSS filters and possibly other properties with !important set.

Web Panel's notification badge/number never update,is that a bug?
But in version 6.5, this function is normal

[nutcracker]

After installing the snapshot my mail filters were gone! Not the labels but the filters. It was not something critical or beyond repair. I didn't lose anything and - in fact - I had the chance to correct some problems in my mail filtering, but it happened.

[mib2berlin]

@nutcracker
Hi, do you installed the snapshot over the stable install?
Updating the the snapshot should not do this and were a bug.

Cheers, mib

[nutcracker]

@mib2berlin: No, I'm always following the "developer path"

[mib2berlin]

@nutcracker
Ah OK.
I don't use filters so I cant reproduce this but if other users can it should be reported to the bug tracker.
Unfortunately there is no archive for snapshots so I cant test this.

Cheers, mib

I can't update to this version on my RHEL 7.9 because of:

sudo yum update vivaldi-snapshot -y

           Requires: libc.so.6(GLIBC_2.25)(64bit)

Is there any chance that the next snapshot could lower the libc dependency?

I have glibc-2.17-317.el7.x86_64 installed, kernel 3.10.0-1160.el7.x86_64.

[mib2berlin]

@AndreyL
Hi, I fear no, this is based on the Chromium source developer.
Vivaldi jumps from Chromium 124 to 126 and your libc is very old, I am on 2.37 and kernel 6.9, is this really kernel 3?

Cheers, mib

[AndreyL]

@mib2berlin : sure. We have a pretty limited / restricted RHEL 7.9 install, so that's what I have.

[mib2berlin]

@AndreyL
Hm, then 6.7 is the last version you can use, I guess this will not change.
It's like all Chromium browser kick Windows 7-8.1 a few month ago, at some point it make no sense to support older platforms anymore.

Cheers, mib

[Ruarí]

@AndreyL Hmm… it would not be easy to change this actually. Any chance you can run flatpak?

[AndreyL]

@Ruarí : nope. I hope to switch to RH9 in the next months however.

[PropTop99]

I don't know what's going on but it seems to get more and more unstable with every build. It just keeps chewing up resources and eventually, something gets suspended and everything crashes. Takes forever to start and come up. It's faster if you start without extensions but still...very frustrating.

[Pesala]

• Compact Layout seems to have stopped working
• Dialogs have buttons with rounded corners
• Vivaldi closes down after Clearing Browser Data

[EricJH]

@Pesala I can confirm the crash. Compact layout is working normally here on Windows 11 beta (22635.3646).

[mib2berlin]

@Pesala
Hi, Vivaldi does not crash on Linux, I can check on Windows 11 later. I use this settings:

I don't care much about the new menus but was dialogs not rounded independent of the setting?

[Pesala]

@EricJH Thanks

Compact layout seems to be OK after restarting.

The crash now occurs without doing anything. Vivaldi Snapshot will start up OK, then crashes after a few seconds.

Using Vivaldi 6.7.3329.39 Stable to reply.

I will try reinstalling the Snapshot.

I restored a backup from last month, and updated the Snapshot and my backup.
I won’t try clearing browsing data just yet, in case it messes up my profile again.
