Snapshot 1.0.212 - Mouse gestures with touchpad!
-
Earlier, I raised the question w.r.t. the unreasonably high level of Swap being used.
When I entered:-
vivaldi://view-http-cache
there was a mass of entries, could this be the cause of the problem?
From the previous link, seems that there could be consequences if running SSD. -
Problem #1 : Still cannot drag the Vivaldi window unless you carefully click&drag from the very top of the window, in that tiny amount of pixel before the cursor change to the Resize cursor. Should be able to drag it from anywhere in the top bar, where the tabs open, when no tabs are present in the empty space.
–--------------------------
Problem #2 : Opening multiple bookmarks(20+) at the same time cause the browser to lock up for a while, until all tabs are loaded up. This isn't an issue in Chrome, firefox and even IE.
–--------------------------
Problem #3 : Middle Click doesn't work to open bookmarks in the bookmark panel, when the side scrolling bar is present. (need more than 42 bookmarks on a 1200p display, in fullscreen)
–--------------------------
Suggestion #1 : Put in an option to "hide" the speed dial folder, from the Side panel bookmarks. It's redundant. -
Not sure if this helps, but I have had the same, and similar, problems, where the Browser Locks-up.
I am running opensuse with a System Monitor facility, and it was this, that started my per-
suit of the problem.
What I discovered, was that Swap became so large, that it seemed to cause the CPU to
run at max. and everything just stuttered and froze.
With my existing (Opera) Browser, there is a facility to limit the Cache size (5MB), though
from google search, it seems that 0.5 to 1.5MB is perfectly acceptable.
I have subsequently discovered that you can Empty Cache, by clicking the History tab.;
BUT the stupidity of the option, is that it goes from Newest to Oldest??? How dumb.
There are articles relating to this 'Problem', under Chrome Browser; So, maybe the V
team will treat this problem with some urgency, as for me, it makes it impossible to use
after a few hours. -
Vivaldi, being a UI written from scratch, is not yet able to show Extension buttons, etc. If you need to change settings and such you need to pull up the extension manager page at vivaldi://extensions .
-
I don't view speed dial folder on side panel as redundant. With it hidden, you have to open tab to get access to speed dials. With Speed dial folder on the side panel, its constantly on

Awesome

Do you guys plan to boost performance of Vivaldi before first Beta?
-
Performance tweaks and major bug fixes are normally given priority in beta stages. Alpha builds are more on features and enhancements. The team did say they include performance improvements in snapshots every now and then.
That said, considering we're almost at TP4, personally I would put more focus on performance leading to that.
-
Switching between two tabs have problems as I can't see the tab that is shown just after I close one tab.
-
There does seem to be a Major problem with Chrome, which can be found across the web
The following link, typically highlights one of the fundamental problems:-

I really hope that Vivaldi will get to terms with this/these, problems, so that their release
is more akin to the Opera of old; If not, then it is a non-starter. -
Thanks for the fix
Hope they correct this in next version -
Okay I admit this isn't a terribly "informed" opinion so bear with me.
I was an Opera user from the old ad-supported years. I quit when they switched to chrome. No one was more excited about Vivaldi then I. I have been preaching Vivaldi since I first discovered it. Yet, I'm still waiting for the hope / dream to become real. I download every update for both Windows & Linux. Many aspects / features are great and remind me of the old Opera days. But, overall, I'm still disappointed. I quit recommending it to friends. I find it slow, buggy, and unpredictable. Sometimes features work, sometimes they don't. Sometimes a page will load sometimes nothing happens. I would say it's my computer but I also run the chrome clone SrWare Iron and experience no similar problems. Often (against my desires) I run Iron for browsing just because I have no confidence in Vivaldi.
Is it just me or are there still a lot of basic stability, functionality,and speed problems. I've even been disappointed with Vivaldi web mail. Sometimes I wonder if you folks don't really have the resources to tackle all this. That's okay, I CAN wait. But tell me these issues are only temporary, please. I want to love Vivaldi and once again recommend it. Please keep at it but give me a pep talk. -
Patience, my friend. If Vivaldi isn’t ready for you come back in a year. This is software at it's beginning of life. It has only recently come into existence. It is improving and surely will keep getting better and better.
-
This is gestational Vivaldi. This is not yet Vivaldi. You're getting a look at it MUCH earlier in its development process than you normally see any software.

Bug:
- Open https://www.bizarrepedia.com
- Open any link in new tab (background)
- The sidebar is messed up, doesn't happen if you open in foreground
-
But from what I have been reading, Vivaldi is no better than a Clone of Chrome; Now if
they had started developing off the back of Chromium– the original open source project--
there may be a better Browser.
NO Browser should EVER cause any system to Freeze, if it does, then it is not Fit-for-
purpose, so I return to Opera every time, and as a second option, QupZilla.
The Easy option was to start with Chrome, but Chrome arose because: You can really
trust Google: /s
When you see that google loaded proprietary software, then one has to consider the
implications w.r.t. Vivaldi. -
Since when did Observation, Experience and Suggestion, ever become trolling; Or do
you not accept criticism? -
Using Blink really has little to nothing to do with Google and the various conspiracy theories connected thereto. That said, Vivaldi has had little to no optimization effort devoted to it as yet, and until it does, one may expect it to be the worst sort of resource hog, as many Chromium browsers have proven to be. It is possible to tweak the browser code to reduce HDD writes, RAM usage, CPU cycles consumed, etc.
Of course as soon as Vivaldi starts doing this, OTHER "show stopper" problems will also arise, and need to be addressed. I'm willing to wait and see how they address Chromium's universally known and universally despised problems. It's inconceivable they will not do so.

Same here. On whatever site where I want to save the password, Vivaldi crashes but seems to save the password because on a restart, it logs in with the saved password.
-
Well I tried to have some life away from my computer this weekend but each time my hands did happen to touch the keyboard and mouse I was so happy to use Vivaldi; it's working so well. It's come a long way in a short while and the journey is just starting. Now I am anticipating a new snapshot this week and expecting more improvements. It's great to be part of this project. Just sayin'.
