A new start – Vivaldi Android Browser snapshot 3348.4
-
@mib2berlin But this is for a computer! I wanted to know about android.
-
@temkem Nothing happened. Updates are ready when they are ready. You will receive more updates more frequently if you are using Snapshot (which will contain some experiments and may be less stable) but the normal update cycle for Stable is in the neighborhood of six to eight weeks. Vivaldi does not publish an update every time they finish an internal project. The browser is not continually being changed just for the sake of being "up to the minute." The ONLY thing for which updates are rushed out the door is security patches.

@Ayespy comrade, I wrote in the android Snapshot section, and not in the android stable. I wrote in the section specifically for test versions of the browser, not stable ones. Have you read the title of the article where we are now having a dialogue?
-
@temkem There is no update, because none is ready. There is no schedule for Snapshot updates - only for Stable updates - and even that is not written in stone. Work goes forward on the Snapshot stream apace, and an update will come out when it is ready. When will it be ready? When it's ready. Nothing "happened."
-
@Ayespy I started to worry that test versions have not been released for a month. It is already dangerous to do anything on the Internet with old test versions, because there is no security update from Google.
-
@temkem All relevant security updates have been applied. Vivaldi does not neglect security updates. They are normally added between 20 minutes and 72 hours from the time they are released. If none have been added to Snapshot, it is because there were none to add.

@temkem There was an Android Snapshot update on May 24.
Minor update(4) for Vivaldi Android Browser 6.7
May 24, 2024This update includes a security fix from Chromium upstream to resolve “CVE-2024-5274: Type Confusion in V8”, an exploit for which exists in the wild.

@Ayespy give me a link where for android, the test version of the Vivaldi browser is now safer than the stable version of the Vivaldi browser for android.
-
@temkem You're right.
It looks as though Vivaldi did not issue a Snapshot update specifically for CVE-2024-5274. If this makes you uneasy, use the Stable version instead. There are often times when Stable has more recent updates than Snapshot. That's just the way the work flow shakes out.
-
@Ayespy This is all I understand. but I am testing Snapshot versions to find any problems in them and write about them so that they will be fixed in the stable version. Now on the test version I am afraid to carry out any operations with passwords, bank accounts, and so on. Who will test security in this area? After all, now it’s not clear how it is in the test version of Vivaldi.
