Since I have Dial Up, I haven't actually gotten a chance to download and try out this latest update. But, I am super excited just to read that Progress Bar Advanced Info improvements are finally moving into the house! OMG! Woo Hoo! This will be REALLY helpful for me with my Dial Up. This will administer some serious Butt Kicking on ALL other browsers.
It's great to see Devs actually listening to feedback. Nowadays it's very difficult to get results with feedback regarding ANY Apps. My feedback with some New Opera issues has gotten nowhere over there in that camp. So, it's great to see Vivaldi working on incorporating what the Users want. Kudos, Vivaldi!

Just bring back the old style address bar with drop down menu to reopen typed urls and option to disable this really annoying inline address auto complete.

Unfortunately you already seem to be going chropera way, you start great features and then leave them and develop some-things-that-nobody-cares-about or are nice to have, bot NOT core features
mail, newsfeed, configurable gestures, full support for chrome extensions (or just build-in adblock-compatible filter with improved performance), and of course performance are most important, progress bar is thing we can live without if everything else works
and if not, we can't switch to vivaldi as core features are missind so nobody sees the changes -
omg, webpanels! thank you so much! so the time I can switch from O12 is coming… (although I had some strange behaviour but a restart of vivaldi after auto-installation fixed some (as usual))
-
Great new features in this build, unfortunately I get a bug when dragging tabs to new positions in the tab bar. A lot of the times the whole tab bar is broken visually so I have to restart the browser to get it working again.
That is my number 1 annoying bug right now, it's there from the beginning and it isn't getting better at all. Is this a general issue or is there something wrong with my installation? -
User choice for the win!
-
Thx for these features, guys! The usage of my daily applications directly in the browser was something I'm eager for years.:)
Here short list of improvement proposals:- add an option to "Open web panel as tab". For some apps like skype it would be better to have it opened in more space as the current view is not very handy;
- add an 'Open folder/Go to folder' option in Downloads panel;
- put the created Speed Dials as first option to be displayed when a user makes a new bookmark. Or at least: order the folders alphabetically as it is very annoying now to search among plenty of folders;
- add some "placement" information in the bookmarks. If I start a Search in bookmarks and find a wished bookmark that want to move in some folder - there is no information at all (no properties nor in Edit) where the bookmarks is currently placed. I know that as a workaround I could open the site, then from the address bar icon of bookmark to change the place, but it is annoying to do it each time instead of simple change of the location in bookmark's properties.
-
I receive mostly distinct email notifications as expected, and then BAM, 3-4 identical ones in a row. They are word for word, character for character the same. I have no idea why.
-
What about the scrolling of the list of tabs when they are on the side and don't fit the screen? I think this is a major issue - you can't expect people to actually use the browser if they can't see all tabs.
Also, lazy tab load on startup would be super-nice!
-
EDIT: Maybe put a toggle button in settings that will toggle between a desktop user-agent to a mobile one and vice-versa. The problem there is that each Web Panel should have it's own toggle so it won't affect others.
-
Lovely update, thanks for that!
A note though:
Now you can really tell how quickly those pages are loading.
That's actually the only thing missing - speed. It says how many (elements), how much (data total) but not how fast (data per second).
one more thing I'd like to see there - which domains are contacted and what's happening. You know, basically what O12 has in the bottom popup progress bar, I'm sure you know what things it shows.
-
Right now, if I perform a
document.getElementsByTagName('style')
js command on any page, it returns a style that seems to be injected by vivaldi for spat-nav, in addition to the regular style sheets. It would be nice if there was a way to disable this, or at least make it so that spat-nav works without having to modify the dom in this way.
-
Thank you.
-
Great!
Next:
1. Icons into recently pages
2. Cloud sync
and i'll be happy -
This is a good update to a good browser. Thank you, Vivaldi team!

Some features that I would expect w.r.t. security/performance; The ability to remove all
cookies etc., which can track; To be able to set the Cache level, and NOT have it perform
as it is at present; To have Form Filling facility.
Not sure just how much Optimisation, is down to Vivaldi, but it needs some attention.
I installed The Great Suspender, which seems to work, though I understand that Google
may be implementing something similar.
webRTC? when tried using appear.in, crashed my system, but was O.K. in Firefox.

Indeed, Thanks for pointing this out. It is logged as VB-8497

No. The problem I had with previous snapshot builds was with videos not playing in fullscreen mode. The image stopped or blacked out while the soundtrack continued to play.

I could have just ignored your comment, but then if you didn't know about it before you might never have learnt about the search in page feature.
Just saying, don't be surprised if people flame you for not searching first. We all forget sometimes.
