Solved Is vivaldi Webmail "self-standing"?

May be. But this is mostly a tech support forum. And mastodons are now a herd of them. Elephants, elephant babies and huge elephants, and blue butterflies fly over them. So I don't know how much it helps.

What should I understand from this?

The mastodon symbol is an ancient elephant. The symbol of bluesky is a butterfly with blue wings. There are other newfangled decentralized resources.

The elephant born in Vivaldi is just one of very many. It's Twitter that is unique. FB is one of a kind and huge. Reddit is one of a kind. And will there be much recognition of Vivaldi's mastodon if there are already thousands of "elephants" and other instances?

@far4 They still try it! All they can do is to do their best.
But you can't say that what I told you isn't right, at least partially.

@ThePfromtheO
I will not argue, I poorly understand the psychology of the ordinary Western consumer (who occasionally buys something and donates). And the browser is aimed primarily at this category of people.

Maybe.

But from my point of view it still feels dissonance. A lack of forethought on how to make it better. There are some shades of Vivaldi team's thinking and actions that cause a mental protest.
But - these are subtle matters, and this is already an off-topic.

I have a complicated attitude towards the browser. Yes, I like it.... But!... in this "but" I put a lot of things done wrong and not right - from my subjective point of view for the five years that I have been using android/Vivaldi and the forum, and everything that is good here.

ps I apologize, I use a translator, so my phrasing may not be as accurate as I would like.

ThePfromtheO

@far4 Yeah, read the comments on this post on Reddit if you have time.

ThePfromtheO

@far4 But it is still good, although it's slower than other browsers, like Brave. And also less stable. But, in my opinion, and as I have said many times, we must pay for its customizability features and the other advantages.

I read it. But I don't use Windows. On android, I haven't encountered any problems with video playback. Except that on FB, if you start playing one video, then automatically when you scroll down the page, all the other videos start too. And I can't stop it But it's a small thing.

The browser works fine on android.
And the snap version is so stable that I use it without the slightest fear. However, I always like betas and nightly better. They are more interesting!

@far4 I use the .deb package on Ubuntu. The Android app is good, but what I'd like is to have the option to paste from the clipboard in the search bar without needing to use my clipboard. I mean, to have a button called "paste from clipboard" or something like that that appears when tapping on the search bar after you copy something in the clipboard.

On android, I disable browser access to the clipboard and use my soft-keyboard capabilities. I have copy, paste, cut, "mark all" buttons... Also have Ctrl and I can use the standard hotkeys Ctrl+c, Ctrl+v, Ctrl+a etc. The keyboard has a built-in clipboard with 50 slots of 16KB each. I think it's 16... can't remember exactly. Could also be 32 or 64.

I do all copypaste operations using the keyboard only.

Hm. But this still uses the standard android clipboard: you have to paste the string from somewhere, right?
My softkeyboard just improves on android's standard clipboard.

yes, but I don't have to go to keyboard and to clipboard to paste the text.

@ThePfromtheO
Did I understand you right?
Is this Miui feature similar to what you want?

ThePfromtheO

@far4 I don't know, I will show you a recording of that when I have time if you want.
I spoke about Android.
That option is available on the Brave Android app, this is where I know about it.
I don't want to advertise it, but it was my main browser before and I know more about it than other browsers.

@Pathduck Creating and posting to a blog definitely accelerates one's gaining of access. The more options (blogging, participation in Vivaldi Social on Mastodon, using sync, participating meaningfully in the forums, sharing themes) one uses, the faster it goes. Access can be gained in as little as three days for a very active participant, and as much as a month for a very marginal participant.

I also showed you that you can see the text if you want by tapping on the eye button.

ThePfromtheO

@far4 Do you know any solution to that? A similar method, I mean.

ThePfromtheO

@ThePfromtheO Right now, I observed that it detects when I copied a link and says "link you copied" instead of "text you copied".
I'd like Vivaldi to have this feature...

@ThePfromtheO
How is this different from Vivaldi's “Paste and search”? In the mechanism of how the function works - isn't that the same thing?

Vivaldi does not distinguish between links and plain text in clipboard - that's true. But I think it's a small thing.

ThePfromtheO

@far4 But I don't have it!
What is the difference?!

far4

@ThePfromtheO
wow! That's something to think about!
