Vivaldi 7.2: Speedy and smart, a serious update.

@jorpheus: I'm unable to see the high res version of that image
What I mean by "relevant" is due to us now using a frecency algorithm, so over time it should pick up on those sites that you visit the most. And if search suggestions are in the way, you can disable it - or even enable for search nicknames only.@sjudenim: Same for you, the frecency algorithm should pick up on those sites you visit on a daily basis, and over time they get a higher score.
I understand it's a big change, but I urge you to give it some time. We had a lot of complaints about the old implementation giving inaccurate and unexpected results, and in overwhelming amounts, as well as slow speeds. These are important things for us to try and improve.

@mib2berlin Thanks. Removing a few panels did speed it up marginally. Disabling all extensions did so quite a bit, but it was still slow. I also keep a short download list, which I understand helps speed. This is not an earth-shaking problem, but worth noting I think.

Thanks for your response.
I have 2 questions from it
-
If I clean my history (which I do at least daily) do the rankings get reset? This is what I was told in the testing process.
-
If the answer to the above is no, then are searches being stored even if we think we are cleaning our history?
Also, as I mentioned in the testing period, I do not get to prioritize what's important to me. Serach Suggestions are given top priority in spite of me wanting Bookmarks to be (with that option selected).

I really like this new 7.2 release. My browsing experience has been taken to the next level, and to be honest, it wasn't that bad before.
There's one thing that bothers me though. Sync stopped working a few days ago.
vivaldi:syncshowsCommit Step Result:Protocol error (CONFLICT)and I have no way to make it go away.Any suggestions?
-
@Asgatlat I have the exact same issue, but the response you got seemed unrelated. Have you found a way to fix it?
-
@hukimato nope
-
@sjudenim: Yeah, hope this gets changed again

@superiorclam
Hi, you can try to change the device name.
You may get a ghost device until it disappear after some time. -

@mossman said in Daily snapshot – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3621.36:
[Mail][Performance] Endless loop in threading, causing high CPU (VB-100468)
My gaming laptop went from 7% CPU to 0.2% CPU... so I think we can call that a win!
I'll check the anno-2010 desktop PC next...
From 67% CPU to 0% ! Fantastic!
It took some time re-doing the database before heavy disk activity stopped and I could estimate a settled-state CPU usage.
I saw that the status bar mentioned sorting sent-to-self into received and sent messages... so that fixes another longstanding problem.
The gaming laptop was also at 0% a little while after I posted that last message, so this makes a huge difference to machines affected by the bug. Good work!
-
Thank you for this release. I had used the snapshots before but now I will migrate to the stable release channel.

Thx!!

@atlemo Hm, it's readable if a little small for me. But I think you get the idea, one big list on the left, and basically nothing on the right.
Thank your for clarifying about the frequency algorithm, but here's the thing: I use this thing for work, every day, so I literally don't have time to give. The search suggestions don't bother me, but need bookmarks and history, and it's a real downgrade for me to have to go to bookmarks and history in separate tabs and then search them.
It certainly is faster now, but fast at the price of functionality isn't a good trade-off for me. Anyway, thank your for replying, it's good to know that at least you're [the Vivaldi devs] willing to talk about it.
However, like I mentioned, this is unfeasible for me, so I need to go download a downgrade. I'll keep an eye on any developments.

@jorpheus
Please don't downgrade Vivaldi, it break your user profile.
I use quick commands (F2) for searching bookmarks, they bother me in the address bar.
You can enable only history and bookmarks, may it work for you. -
Unwanted address bar change. People do not like it. Calling it "In true Vivaldi fashion, you are in charge" when downgrading the feature, actually taking AWAY the ability to customize it, is quite funny.
It's also buggy. It's pulling typed history as "search" (items?) in some situations even if history (and typed history) is disabled, instead of showing search suggestions like it should.
E.g. when typing some character, " g ", then using backspace to erase it and immediately entering " e " char, the address bar shows 2 "search" items from my typed history, although it should show "ebay", "espn", "etsy" as search suggestions. Sometimes this happens even when opening a new tab and quickly entering the " e " char to the address bar. It's a mess.

But can somebody explain, what "Direct Match" does in the address bar settings? Seems to be different from using the search engines defined, but I don't fully understand what it does.
This is another misstep, the previous search options page had a
?which gave a little description as to what each search did. Pulling from that it saysShortcut to known brand websites(this will also be affiliate sites) -

Thank you very much for this update
Unfortunately, with the new version I have some issues which are a little bit annoying.
One thing is the panel, which is always opened when I start Vivaldi, despite I'm closing Vivaldi with the panel closed.
Same here!
-
+1 Definitely speed up.
-1 Still I can' t close speed dial quick settings panel click anywhere. Must click X.
-1 Where is my old ADD Speed Dial button.
The new one is nice but sometimes I might want the old one too. -

Ah, got it! Thank you very much for clarifying.

[Menus] Add “Share Vivaldi” to Help menu (VB-114495)
Can't find such item in my Help menu.

@jorpheus: Even if you enable "Prioritize Bookmarks", you don't get a hit?
