Snapshot 1.0.257.3 - Visual tab cycler and better cookie management
-
I'm trying to use Screencastify (Screen Video Recorder) extension from Google store.
It is saying "Your browser lacks NaCl support. Ops, your browser does not seems to have NaCl support compiled in. You are most likely using an outdated or crippled chromium build."
-
Probably only on osx, bottom corners are always rounded, top corners only when overlapping another open window.
-
"Add Web Panel" button is still in the interface… it's not good especially if someone (like me) use tabs on the same side as panels...
W8.1 x64 (with x32 build)
reported as: VB-8750 -
Apparent bugs:
I can't disable the nasty "smooth scrolling" thing without the command line switch. Neither setting (enable or disable) in Vivaldi://flags seems to have any effect.
Talking of which, half the time attempting to type "vivaldi://flags" into the address bar is preempted by the drop down appearing and filling in the address with Vivaldi URLs, like this one, which is a TPITA.
I seem to have some kind of endless loop running from the main Vivaldi process that churns my HD. I spotted this with a much earlier build, and upgraded, and it's still there. Once Viv has been running a short while, it seems to be trying to do something with the disk that never ends. Even if I shut down Viv, a last instance (the main browser one) of vivaldi.exe keeps running, permanently accessing the disk. I have to close it with the Windows Task Manager.
edit
Just to add, it's currently doing this disk churning with only this solitary page open in Viv.
Latest build, x64, Win7 x64.

And by the way, when is the right click menu going to use my preferred search engine instead of only @*?!!& Google? Surely this is a more urgent feature than smooth scrolling?

Hi,
More and more often, i've big problems with the proxy authentification from vivaldi.it's seems that the browser randomly provide wrong auth which lock my domain account :evil: ! ! !
What can i do to provide more informations ? Is there a way to have some log of the http queries requested by vivaldi ?
Thanks for any help because the IT of my company is now hating me…
nb: no problems with Google Chrome
-
I agree! and right click menu should have the context search option too, the existing google extension is so poor. Every user has his priorities but this a browser and the way I see it search engines are the essence of browsing the web.
-
Combine side tabs with sidebar, please. It wil be comfortable to show/hide tabs when need or not
-
Right click + scroll no longer works, is this known?
As for the visual cycler - yes, it is very spartan right now, but it looks promising. It'd be very useful if a tab can be selected with the mouse (think Mission Control in OS X or Task View in Windows 10).
-
Just confirmed it. Thanks for your report.
-
Any news on when a fully functional "clone tab" function will be available? It's one of the last major things that i'm sort of missing in vivaldi.

Confirmed

@kisunssi:
Sorry to heap woe upon you, @ruario, but it took me a while to realise that there was a new version even out, as it is not offering an automatic download either.
Ho-hum…
Actually kinda glad that Vivaldi isn't auto-update, I like to come to the website and actually check out the update before I make a decision. Since Windows 10 doesn't give me this option, it's a breath of fresh air.
-
Great job with the update although Thumbnail Generation still needs time to mature… Tabs that are opened in the background never really generate a Thumbnail in the first place...
Here are my weekly feature requests (!) :
1. When a download starts, the Panel triggers and suddenly comes into view giving you a Hear Attack ! It'd be great if only a tooltip would be shown to tell you about it not the whole Panel Sliding into view !
2. Remove the "Bookmarks Bar" Select Option in the Settings Page and consider a checkbox/radio button just like the "Use as Speed Dial" option in the Bookmarks page. you could name it "Use as Bookmarks Bar". This makes it easier for managing bookmarks…
3. Please remove the redundancies in the Settings Page… while Vivaldi grows there will be more options and Redundant options are going to be obscure items for new users... they will see an option for something while there is the exact same option with a different name somewhere else... This approach leads to confusion...
for example :
"Appearance => Window Appearance => Use Page Theme Color in User Interface"
is the same as
"Tabs => Tab Colors => Use Page Theme Color"4. Please add the ability to Import "Search Engines" from other browsers especially Opera.

Hey, I'm loving Vivaldi more and more every week. I have only one request: could you disable the escape key on the mac when in fullscreen?
Though the most glaring issue (unable to exit forms and text boxes within a page) was resolved, there is still a lot of functionality that is broken such as:
- Deselecting text in the address bar
- Exiting an image on pinterest
- Exiting an image on deviant art.
- Closing an expanded feed with miniflux
Safari has these same issues, which for a long time has been one of my reasons for using Firefox or Chrome over it. Would you consider this feature for an upcoming snapshot? Or even making an editable fullscreen toggle for the keyboard shortcuts?
-
This should be "fixed" in 10.11 El Capitan. But just wait another ten years, crystal ball says that rounded corners will retro and in fashion once again.

So, a bit more info. I opened a Youtube video in a page and Vivaldi goes bananas on the disk as usual; I closed the page, then Vivaldi, and watched the Resource Monitor, as Viv continued to spend the next fifteen(!) minutes maxing out access to my hard disk.
Oddly, it seemed to be spending all its time in a pair of files called "Top Sites" and "Top Sites-journal" in this folder- C:\Users[MyUserName]\AppData\Local\Vivaldi\User Data\Default
Eventually the orgy of disk thrashing stopped after, as I said, fifteen minutes. Is anyone else seeing this kind of thing? What are these files and what the heck is Viv doing with them? Can I delete them?
EDIT*
Well, after further investigation, it appears that the Top Sites file was the problem; deleting it stopped Vivaldi's crazy disk activity. I suspect it had grown too large for comfort- it was 242 Megabytes. That's quite big. So maybe this file growing like topsy is a bug.
Anyhoo, I've kept a copy of it if the Devs are interested. But deleting it fixed the problem. Viv created a new copy next time it started up.

"VB-8587 Tidy up the Dark UI": the progress indicators in the location bar when loading a page are still the same shade of blue for the dark theme, which is barely readable on a dark gray background. The translucent blue progress bar in the location bar's background is also hard to distinguish from gray.
-
Also, Opera 12's per-site preferences, more generally, were excellent. (The only gripe I had with Opera was that with the per-site options, there was not an explicit "obey general settings default (currently XXXX)" for each settings that you could set it back to.)
-
Don't know if this has been reported yet but I noticed that if I have my side bar really big for the web panel when I go to say downloads it makes it the same size the web panel was. I feel they should save to only the panel / window you are using.
