Weekly snapshot 1.0.123.10 is available for download

Vivaldi is vulnerable to the FREAK flaw on OS X
Just a little heads up! -
Every week a step closer to the full build! Loving it so far! Here we go:
-Although i love Tab Preview, I think the time between hovering the mouse over the tab and the preview showing up is too small. Sometimes I only wish to close the tab or open another one on the background and the preview pops up. It's annoying. You should make the time for the preview to pop up longer or customizable.
-Again with Youtube videos not being rendered past 360p. Only happens to Vivaldi.
-Tab preview doesn't show anything until that tab has been opened. Even so only shows part of the page, with the bottom half being blank.
Currently using the 64 bits version - Windows 7. Keep up the good work! The UI response is faster, loading pages has become less sluggish, and now I'll try out all other sites I usually visit. Loving the work so far!
-
We need a proper Extension Support. What we have now can be considered clandestine, not to mention some extensions don't work.
-
So far, it appears I'm still getting a duplicate icon in the taskbar when I open Vivaldi (32-bit stand-alone on Win7-64 SP1). The good news is that at least now I can download files successfully from within Vivaldi - sort of. But not within a limited user account - there, it starts the download into the account's download folder, but at the end of the download, the file stub simply disappears leaving an empty folder and no complete file anywhere on the system. On a positive note, however, in the admin account, downloading is successful into the admin account's download folder, starting with the download stub file and remaining as the complete file there when downloading ends - so in an admin account, at least, downloading is working properly now here.
-
So…am I crazy (read: unable to properly install software), or does the vivaldi:about page still say this snapshot is 1.0.118.2 (on Linux x64)?

bug: If you use any bookmark folders from the panel that is listed above "speed dial" folder as "use as speed dial" the folder gets automatically renamed to "speed dial". You see the renamed folder above the speed dials
-
This update fixes the tab previews which show in the right position for those that use vertical tabs but it introduced a new bug.
In the previous version I could un-check Use Tab Tooltips and it disabled the tab previews. Now it actually just enables tooltips + preview.
Maybe it was a bug in the previous release but I want to disable tab previews for my vertical tabs. Just think 1 minute. If you have vertical tabs right now in Vivaldi you already see each the tab in full, I don't want a preview each time I hoover over, its annoying in this case and it servers no purpose. Please enable the feature back to disable tab previews.

Thank you for removing the dashed lines on the highlight bookmark or folder and for fixing folder opening. Still eager to see the line height reduced so we can see more bookmarks/folders in the tree without scrolling.

Great work! Vivaldi is much faster and more stable, Page preview is correct by bottom placed tabs, and Vivaldi doesn't crash by clicking of padnum '+' button. More and more is usable! :lol:
-
There's a little hope that Vivaldi is support the speed dial extensions in the future?
-
FWIW: I don't like the new spatnav animation either. It's a bit too distracting and additionally when keeping shift+arrow pressed, it simply lags behind your actual focus. Now it's only usable when you very carefully hit shift+arrow one at a time, with some time between keypresses. Form over function.
The focus indication as it was in the previous build was fine: both clear enough (opposed to other browsers' default focus indication which is often hardly noticeable when you don't press your nose at the screen) and aesthetically pleasing. The algorithm still needs a lot of work though. -
Thanks for the build… here I go (again !) :
I'm one of the few who is alwasys nagging about the UI Performance every week... I'm using multiple systems with different hardware every day and I can tell that the UI Performance of Vivaldi is in a poor condition...
***** opening a new tab (Ctrl + T) is slower than ChrOpera on a high end system and a LOT slower on a low end system. what bothers me is that the performance difference between ChrOpera and Vivaldi on the slower systems are far from each other… on a low-end system ChrOpera still performs well while Vivaldi ends up reacting very slow.
***** Clicking on a tab has a slow reaction. this happens when clicking on the "Plus" button to create a new tab : the plus button itself reacts fast but then you will FEEL the slow reaction when it takes some time to either create a new tab or load a tab.
***** Frankly in this build the UI is even performing slower than before… I can tell because I've installed multiple versions of vivaldi on multiple systems and the previous version works and reacts faster than the new build...
I should tell you that the problems I mentioned above happen on low-end systems and a high-end system has fewer slowdowns (but the UI is still slow even on them) and what bothers me is that ChrOpera still reacts faster and smoother in comparison to Vivaldi on both types of systems...
I know... These are "Tech Preview" and "Snapshots"... but I can remember that even ChrOpera 15 had a faster UI than the current Vivaldi.
Please don't consider this as a destructive comment... I want Vivaldi to shine more than any other browser but Performance-related issues must be tackled from the very start or they will become the bottleneck later...
and Personally, I Feel that a "ReactJS" based UI is not a really good choice when compared to a Native UI... but as I don't have more information about the Vivaldi UIs architecture, I shut up for now !
Thanks !

VB-3923: C++ <-> Javascript communication channel for Vivaldi UI
possible this is part of solution

It's been a long time since I've been excited enough about a web browser to install a weekly build. So far I'm enjoying it.
Obviously it still has plenty of growing to do before it can replace Opera 12, but I really am excited about Vivaldi, and it's potential to be something more than just another Firefox/Google Chrome clone (which is sadly what Opera became after we lost Jon).
Thank you for all of the hard work, and I look forward to your next snapshot.

I am using constantly the so called 'rocker gestures' (back/forward navigation via right > left mouse click and vice versa) in Opera and although they were not announced in Vivaldi - tried to see if/how they work here. It looks that there is no explicit definition of their behavior - for some sites left>right buttons work for me as 'back' (instead the opposite), then right>left works either as 'forward' or not working at all. Do you intend to make the mouse clicks usable or we should try to live with the gestures only?
PS. And also to report a bug that has been fixed in previous build: if you are on the current blog page 2 > then press 'Reload' button > the result is '404 - Not Found. This is not the page you're looking for…'.

If you want my feedback here there are my thoughts on Vivaldi
give it a look and if reading it you think "this user is asking for feature X" don't reply at all because you didn't understand what I wrote in that message.

I've tried downloading the 64bit version several times (7 times now) : the download starts very slowly, the bandwidth has a lot of variance and almost always starts its downside when near 40% progress…
at the end the download stops and I can't resume the download...
This problem isn't new and every week I have to wait a couple of hours until there's enough bandwidth to download Vivaldi without interruptions...my problem is too. i have to download from another site every week. why nobody care about?

http://facebook.github.io/react/
Basically it's a javascript library for building User Interfaces. To my understanding Vivaldi uses it to make the browser look pretty. If Vivaldi could give a run down of all the components they use and how they work, that might be interesting, but As far as I know React.js is used for the part that you normally see, things like the tab bar, menus, and browser effects like that neat color change in vivaldi. I assume all of those things are controlled by react. Basically react probably paints the buttons on the screen. If someone can explain it more in depth they're welcome to.

Why can't I play any videos found on web sites using the latest version of 64 bit Vivaldi? I have the latest flash player plugin on Vivaldi.

In Notes none of my existing notes will show [the subjects are there, but i cannot see their contents in the pane, nor can i edit them or create a new note.[/color]
Same here on Windows 7 Professional 64-bit, 32-bit Vivaldi version.I checked that it does not happen on a fresh install - thus not having notes. New notes can be created in such case. But when upgrading from build 118 to 123, the notes that were created cannot be viewed as described above by Steffie and new notes cannot be created. Please fix this urgently in the next weekly build.
For the time being, is there any workaround to unblock the notes in this build?
