Vivaldi 6.8 on Android – New ways to make the browser match you and updated Ad Blocker
-
Fantastic. Is there a way to block ads without letting the sender know, so that we do not get prompted to turn the ad blocker off? Super nettleser som i gamledager Jon!!

While on any site, if you click on the address bar (the address bar is turned on at the bottom and “Reverse order of search suggestions” is turned on), then the panel: share, copy, edit is displayed at the top for some reason! Did they do this on purpose or did they break it again?
-
@ourostra same here. This is also happening on the Vivaldi snapshot. They should fix this asap. This is very high severity bug.

También me pasó que cuando intenté editar el fondo de pantalla se me cerró el navegador la única forma de que volviera a la normalidad fue desinstalando y volviendo a instalar

@jon
what improvement to ad blocker?
on android I still see reddit "promoted" ads.
when will you finally fix this issue?
I have to use firefox with ublock to not see promoted ads... -
@Pyrlandia7 no improvement at all for reddit "promoted" ads... I still see them.
-
I have seen some posts about people seeing reddit promoted ads. However I have yet to see any promoted ads on android or ios. I run the built in adblocker on android with only the default filterlists + NextDNS.

Small suggestion - can we have an option to set different Speed Dial Groups for different Vivaldi instances? For example, my desktop browser has a set of websites I regularly use from that SD Group, while my Android phone regularly uses a different SP Group.
Only a minor irritation, otherwise still a devoted Vivaldi man. -
After this update, it seems you now always open the start page to your first speed dial group? I've been using different speed dial groups for years for different devices, and it would always reopen to the previous group I used. This "feature" is adding an extra click every time I want to use my speed dial on phone, and I really don't want to have to remove my pc speed dial to fix it
-
The problem still persists with the new version, when changing the background image vivaldi crashes.
-
I get the impression that this release introduces a new styling for the bookmarks lists where the items are displayed at a very large lineheight or inter line padding.
(It actually got me looking for a "compact bookmarks" display mode) -
@termel: +1 This. Move it back to where it used to be, indeed.

@ymstnt0 said in Vivaldi 6.8 on Android – New ways to make the browser match you and updated Ad Blocker:
Why was the option to toggle Dark Mode for individual sites removed? Because this feature breaks many sites, I found that toggle to be great. Now this feature is basically useless without it...

I think without extensions, vivaldi on android is as good as any other unusable mobile browser because who would use a browser without ublock origin when there are goodies like Firefox Nightly. Since a phone restricts access to its filesystem (meaning no custom.css/js), extensions would be the one thing to have vivaldi taken miles forward other mobile browsers. Plus it would be good to enjoy moooore of the desktop goodies you guys gave us like profiles, workspaces, sessions etc. Vivaldi For The Win

@Kjala I would use a mobile browser without uBlock Origin. In fact, I don't use a browser of any kind with it. I suspect, somehow, that I am in the company of millions of users (none of us as smart and sophisticated as you, of course) who also don't use uBlock Origin anywhere, on anything.

@Ayespy
Calm down. It's just when my phone wakes up from a coma and i want to use the browser, i'm just met with a browser that looks like a desktop browser but lacks extensions. You know, you find something like an apple, you buy somthing that looks like an apple. But you come to realise it's not an apple but, respectfully, a decoration. I use pc more than mobile so my habits lean me to use a browser like a pc one. -
@Kjala I'm calm. Factually, I can barely stand to use a phone browser. It's too small and finicky no matter what browser it is. If I HAVE to use one, I prefer Vivaldi, but given my choice I would only use desktop all day every day. And if all desktop options were available on phone, I'm afraid it would not improve my experience. It would still be to small and too finicky, just with more features. The ideal mobile browser would be bigger than your phone - but that's impossible, so we live with what we have to.
I can tolerate a tablet browser better, especially if I'm using my tablet with the keyboard and mouse connected - but it's still too small - just not too, too, too small. And then of course it doesn't work like a phone browser or a desktop browser, so I'm always having to remember how to make everything work. If, like some, I used ONLY phone or tablet, I'd get used to it - but then I would not be able to run my business, so...

@ymstnt0 +1 I don't understand why Vivaldi is worsening the user experience for no reason.
