Erebos

Like with the previous snapshot since yesterday, still can't login to Twitch.tv.

@luetage, wouldn't this back up only the saved sessions and not the open tabs?

Maybe you should put some ads on YouTube for Vivaldi, blocking, skipping ads for now works barely at best so that's that. Searching is less and less important this days, when you have everything in bookmarks, yes Vivaldi has become too good, that's the problem. I use Bing and than Google if needed.

@Erebos Considering that this snapshot is based on Chromium 132 (while 7.0 Stable and the previous snapshot are based on Chromium 130) , this must be caused by something else than the Chromium version (and like most web sites, Twitch is not allowed to see the Vivaldi UA or Branding, unless configured manually by the user).

I suggest you go through the troubleshooting steps to see if something, like extensions or a configuration might be causing the problem.

FYI, I was at least able to get the "login" dialog to open without problems, but that may not be when your problem occurs.

My guess: This is caused by something Twitch is doing, although something locally in your configuration may be what triggers it.

@Kocho It creates a backup of your current session when exiting Vivaldi.

@yngve Thank you for your reply.
I changed the user agent from Chrome to Edge, and now it allowed me to login.

@Ruarí Oh, nothing in repo.vivaldi.com!

I guess you do not want users run a autoupdate by apt to reduce sessionloss? Good!

I had the same bug as others mentioned where on first start none of my tabs were restored.

Another problem I noticed – when I right-click a link and copy it, there's an obnoxious "Link copied" popup now showing, and it often doesn't go away at all, even if I close the tab (and it doesn't even show anywhere near the link I copied).

Custom CSS to hide the "overlay info bubble"

.overlayinfobubble {
	display: none;
}

I don't know why on earth Vivaldi absolutely has to copy every stupid dumbing-down idea from Chrome...

I guess if they don't some stupid will moan about "why Vivladi no has nice info bubgle like Chromz?"

@Pathduck said in The latest changes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3546.4:

.overlayinfobubble {
display: none;
}

I think that is more likely that Vivaldi has to make an effort to remove it, and then provide an option to toggle it on or off.

@luetage good tips; thank you!

How long does it take?

DoctorG

@Gif2D Still server problems, see https://vivaldistatus.com.

There's now often considerable (5-10 second) delay between clicking a link in external program and it opening in Vivaldi.

@ender85
Hi, please add an example, testing a link in an Office document need milliseconds.

@mib2berlin Correction: looks the problem is with Vivaldi switching to/rendering the new tab – it's as if the whole window freezes when I click an external link; sometimes some pictures on currently open tab will go blank. Clicking inside the window makes everything redraw, and the new tab appears (the problem also affects browser chrome – the new tab is not visible until I either click inside the window, or resize it).

After testing a bit more, it seems that the issue happens if Vivaldi's window was completely obscured when I clicked the external link (it doesn't happen if the window was partially visible). Any click inside Vivaldi's window will cause the window to redraw (as will resizing), but if I middle-click, scrolling will not work despite the cursor changing shape; the clicks are also not registered by the new tab before it's redrawn (eg. if I click in a place with a link, that link won't open, so this isn't just a simple redraw problem).

I'm on Windows 11 24H2, 225% DPI and Vivaldi is set up to use native window.

@ender85
I test with links in Outlook, Windows 11 Pro 24H2, 225%, native window and cant reproduce it.
The Vivaldi window was minimized.
Do you use a 4K display?
From which app do you want to open external links.

EDIT: I was testing in stable but it is the same with the latest snapshot.
