Disable new tab animations in 6.9
-
Hi
I just updated to 6.9 and the new animations on new tabs and switching tabs are giving me a headache and make it way slower to switch or close tabs. PLEASE tell me there is a way to turn this back off? This was never a problem before.

Hm, I get a kind of flicker if I open a new tab, do you meant this? -
No, it's this whole animation of zooming in and out when I enter or pull out of a tab, plus when I make a new one. Tabs are also now slower to move up when I close one so it's harder to rapidly close tabs, too.
-
When I searched for solutions, it looks like this was an old feature that got removed like 2 years ago. I don't know why it's happening now if it's not intended with this newest update, which is when it started for me, along with the new settings menu and a popup of 'what's new in Vivaldi!' this morning...

Yesterday was the third update of 6.9, it was first published September 11.
Anyway, we need a user with Android 14 to test this, make no sense on my 12 device, sorry. -
That makes sense. I assumed this was 6.9 because of that popup I mentioned, but given I'm on some number past that it... Yeah. Wasn't looking at that lol. Thank you though.

@mib2berlin would it help to add my device info etc into my original post?

@Satori9001
I guess it's OK in your second post. -
@Satori9001
I can confirm what you said. I think this is a new feature.
No option found to turn this feature off.
Just for me, I don't think it has any positive or negative impact on me.Samsung S22 Ultra, Android 14.

Ugh. Well, thanks for confirming. I really hope they let us turn this off soon as it greatly impacts my workflow and just generally makes things less pleasant...

I believe the user "OP" is suggesting that there has been a modification in the animation when the tab switcher is clicked. Indeed, this observation is accurate. Previously, the tab switcher had minimal/No animation, but now it has a more noticeable animation effect.
This change can be easily verified by downloading an older APK of Vivaldi and comparing it to the current snapshot version.
-
@Veddu I'm not used to the terminology, is that the button to zoom out from a tab to the list of tabs? If so then yes that's what I mean, though there's also now a slower animation in tabs moving when one tab is deleted, and when selecting and moving into a tab from the list.
-
I can confirm these new animate transition effects come with vivaldi 6.9, haven't found a flag to turn it off.

Confirmed with Vivaldi 6.9.3451.88, Android 14.
It would be great if one could simply turn on / off the animations in the Appearance settings.
