The new onboarding is OK, and I like how it doesn't try to force Mail/RSS down the user's throat like the old one. A lot of new users follow through and enable Mail for their Vivaldi account, even though they have no intention of using it or even remember it was there. Then they get high CPU caused by the Mail/RSS reader...
However, I would really like it to not be such invasive full-screen as it is.
It's not good. It's like forcing the user to go through the process. And new users don't understand they can just use Ctrl+W to close the full-screen tab, which is what I do to skip the whole thing.There's a reason most modern installer setups don't go the full-screen like they used to - it's just confusing to users and bad practice.
I like the looks of the new onboarding and don't find it intrusive at all. It's not really full-screen either, it's just a maximized window, the window control buttons are still visible as is my taskbar.
What I would change though is having
Workspaceson by default. I think that should be another option included in the onboarding so it can give a brief summary as to what it is -
@Ruarí I think I may have figured out why the changelog stopped appearing in the sparkle update window for the snapshot updates.
The appcast for the snapshot stream is now using
<sparkle:fullReleaseNotesLink>, whereas before it used the similarly named<sparkle:releaseNotesLink>. Meanwhile, as of writing this, the appcast for the stable stream still uses the latter.Sparkle's documentation indicates that embedded release notes are only shown if a
<sparkle:releaseNotesLink>element or a<description>element is present, hence why changelogs are still shown for the stable stream, but not the snapshot stream. -
@derDay Oh, I had no idea WinSparkle was a thing, which is heavily inspired by Sparkle, but is in no way maintained by the Sparkle Project.
I'm very sorry if I sounded dismissive in my previous post. In hidsight, it was rather prudent of me to assume this could only affect Vivaldi on macOS, since this could have technically affected Windows as well if its appcast had received the same changes I mention here.

@AltCode so vivaldi for windows doesn't use winsparkle??
-
@3dvs It does.
-
When will the autoplay bug be fixed?
-
Thank you for the new version!
My search engine is DuckDuckGo, took a little bit of time to adjust, but it is working pretty well now.

Just translated this snapshot to Swedish
-
@jsosmd: I am still of the same opinion as jsosmd and still find it just as annoying. Please Vivaldi team, change this or make it an option.

the session part is not synchronizing between browsers,
I'm using vivaldi and vivaldi snapshot

That's your point of view?

Or the beginning of a list?

Has anyone here seen the prompt to switch search engines?
-
@Ruarí I didn't

Yes I have

@Ruarí
No. I tried a clean install and it went through the normal set up process. The search was defaulted toStartpageand I was never prompted.BUG: I can't seem to delete or rename recurring events from the calendar. This is an issue in the Stable branch as well. It just freezes the page until I click out of it while no changes are made

Not yet
Edit: I already use DuckDuckGo so that might be on the "approved" list...
