Addressbar and suggestions are not visible when trying to change the URL and the adressbar is at the bottom
@mariap In fact, when the address bar is at the bottom, the on-screen keyboard that pops up when clicking the address field blocks the address bar and makes it impossible to see the input content. In other words, the address bar should move upward as the on-screen keyboard pops up, but now it does not move.
This only seems to happen on the start page. When I edit this post, the address bar moves up with the on-screen keyboard
-
Now the number of open tabs is not shown(
And the buttons are moved up, it's not convenient to them(
-
I like new settings, it's coloful and more compact
A lots of Bugs:
-
Address bar at the bottom. When you tap on Address bar on start page, Address bar would disappear, when you hide keyboard you will see some kind of other style Address bar
-
Swipe from the Address bar at the bottom to show tabs now has ugly animation
-
Not possible to close tab by swiping,
-
Also swipe to the left now shows private tabs instead of closing the tab. I think if you have swipe to close tabs enabled, swipe to open private tabs should be disabled
-
-
Problems noticed:
the plus button on the top right doesn't work, omnibox on the top.Omnibox and bottom action bar are not hidden when scrolling, the item to enable/disable this hiding has disappeared in the menu.
If you disable tabs, you will see the classic chrome tab switcher at the bottom, it shouldn't be like that.
Tabs don't scroll if they don't fit on the screen.
Tabs cannot be moved with a long press.
upd. I'd like to add that the problems with tabs don't start immediately. Now I restarted the browser and there are no problems described above. Not yet. But they were just now!
Aha! the problems start if I turn off the tabs in the settings and then turn them back on again! -
Waiting for the update to appear in my Google Play...

The "exit by double tapping the back button" option does not work.

I can confirm it
-
Could you please explain why you moved the tab modes (private mode, synced tab icons) from the bottom to the top in the tab switcher? It was extremely convenient and accessible when it was positioned at the bottom...

Do you also have issues with tab stacks? When opening tabs in a tabstack the whole tab bar freezes and cannot close the tabs in the tab bar.
-
@Veddu maybe it's a bug too? When you have address-bar at the bottom those buttons should be at the bottom too. Also bottom items are easier to reach.

@Veddu
Hi, this is from the Chromium change, the developer are aware of it and want to change it.
Same for the hidden address bar if it is at bottom, this is a regression.Cheers, mib

@mib2berlin
That's understandable. But we are like primordial programmers, waving punched cards and arithmometers around, enjoying catching fleas :). With cries of "Oh, there's another one! I got one!"
-
Whatever you did broke "Swipe to close", swiping now just cycles to from tabs to private tabs to sync tabs and trash can.
Personal preference, I would like those icons on the button of the screen.
-
When having tabs opening after the last tab, using the "new tab" button feels strange: the tab list doesn't scroll to the end so we may not always see the newest tab.
-
@jyusensei: I came to say both these too.
Plus, due to missing close panel button, if I swipe panels one by one to reach trash buttons, back button moves to all panels previously swiped to before closing

Apparently I got the update now (though I don't recall installing it in the last 24 hours).
Liking the more logical settings (let me discover a few passwords and stored data I had forgotten about and some things I decided to change).
-
After updating,the browser does not recognize material you theme, and no configurations related can be found in the settings.

I don't understand this 'Dark theme' toggle at all. Why isn't there an option to enforce a dark mode on all websites when Vivaldi is in Dark theme? This is a built-in flag in each Chromium browser, but Vivaldi is the only browser that doesn't leverage this feature. Instead, we have a weird manual toggle...

If you enable the Vivaldi dark theme, the dark mode for web pages is also enabled by default. And manual switching is necessary for those who want to read some sites in daylight mode. I have 50/50 pages like that.
It's a pity that the list of such sites is not synchronized along with the settings.You can also use the #enable-force-dark flag, it overrides the checkbox in the side menu and makes web pages always dark.
You can disable the presence of the checkbox in the side menu and use only the flag.
-
The way Vivaldi enables dark mode for web pages is implemented differently compared other Chromia.
Here's the toggle in Brave (needs to be enabled through the flag #darken-websites-checkbox-in-themes-settings):
What this toggle does is enforce dark mode on all websites ONLY WHEN dark theme is enabled.
In Vivaldi, it looks like this:
What that toggle does is enforce dark mode on all websites, but CRUCIALLY it does not get enabled automatically when Vivaldi assumes the dark theme. Yes, some websites will recognise the dark theme and show a dark mode accordingly; but Vivaldi does NOT enforce dark mode on all other websites. For that, you need to go through the #enable-force-dark flag, but you still need to disable that flag once Vivaldi is back in light mode.
My point is, that in all other Chromia dark mode is enforced on all websites when the browser switches to dark theme, but is not enforced at all once the browser reverts to light theme. Vivaldi is the only browser where you need to make those switches manually, every single time.
