Snapshot 1.0.291.18 - A focus on bugfixing
-
I would suggest DuckDuckGo as default search engine. Besides to moderate search results the dark theme matches quite good with the Vivaldi dark theme.
My most wanted search feature would be suggestions from DuckDuckGo within the address bar.
Thumbs up to the good work!
-
We are trying out different search engines for our upcoming beta launch… In this build, we chose Bing as default to see how everyone feels about it.
I guess Disconnect.me could be a good choice… you get all the goodies of Search Engines such as Google or Bing while getting rid of some of their bothersome aspects...
Here's an example… -
Please check http://www.classicalkusc.org/stream/listen.html. No sound (nor with O12, but not sure why that would apply to Vivaldi).

Vivaldi 32-bit on Windows 8.1 (64-bit): Open New Window using the UI doesn't work (keyboard shortcut does work). Tried this with a virgin profile, too.
As for the default search engine, I'd go for Duck Duck Go. I don't think there's a perfect choice here, but they seem one of the less "evil" ones when it comes to privacy.
BTW, for a suggestion, is there any chance that the keyboard shortcut can also be displayed on the UI menus? In my opinion, it'd help some get more acquainted with the shortcuts.

Well for me it's fine as I've used Bing as default for some time. At least it's not the Google hegemony (not that MS are exactly a garage startup, heh) as I think Google are a far more scary corporation than MS ever dreamed of being (that is just MHO of course). Plus Bing's image search is better and not censored, unlike the Google Kindergarten World.
But everyone has different tastes. So long as we are not coerced, it is fine whatever happens to be default, since Viv users are very likely fairly advanced users anyway. I can't help but think there must be some cleverer way to navigate information than a search engine anyway. I lie awake nights trying to invent it
In general, thank you for the Search improvements!

Where is trash icon?
-
Not seeing Unity Web Plugin on the list, so I am guessing that is still broken. Hopefully that is something that is something that will be fixed sooner or later.
Problem: Installing Unity Web Plugin on Windows does not seem to work, the "you need to install Unity Web Plugin" message show up even after installing the plugin, and programs/games that require the plugin will not run.
This is not an issue on the Mac version of Vivaldi where installing the plugin works. (You can however not use the chat feature in the game that use the plugin). -
bug: tabs opened in background never gets a screenshot in the tab.
-
Yay, bug fixing! It's also nice to see you guys are talking about Beta. So, I guess H.264 support isn't coming until the Beta is out?
The Vivaldi Logo on the top left corner as closing function is a bit unnecessary in my opinion. At least leave an option to remove it or assign another function.
And lastly, but not least important, my dials still have problems loading images, although now a few do appear.
Edit: Vivaldi becomes irresponsible when two or more Dials are loading on the background (Speed Dial tab opened, did not try with the tab closed). UI elements do not respond on click nor hover, even the Close button. Changing tabs through any method proved to be futile. Current tab works, but only after a few seconds of freezing time.
Edit 2: The bug persists even when a single dial is updating, Speed Dial tab closed.

As your credo is "we not track our friends" it's surprisly strange that you didn't choose a search engine that not track us. Like DuckDuckGo, disconnect, qwant …
-
Add new bookmarks or bookmark folders with the icons in the bookmark menu does not work anymore Please solve it!
-
Even better, use searx.me, which is an open source search engine
-
It works flawlessly here. I guess it's because it's in mp3 as there isn't support for it on windows and mac, yet.
You can test if it's the case on http://hpr.dogphilosophy.net/test/ -
I'm happy, there is not that ugly trash icon if I use horizontal menu.
Anyway i reported it like a bug.
I hope that developers will insert an option to show or hide that trash icon or move it in the status bar or above settings icon.

Still waiting for a startup startpage fullscreen without using last session. When will you fix this little problem?

Plays ok winamp

Go for DuckDuckGo if you do not care that much about monetizing for main searcher!
Anyway, Bing do not brings anything better than Google search (AFAIK)… And people in Europe are used to use Google search (no doubt here)...
I guess you could win them with DuckDuckGo but in my opinion nobody will understand (why) Bing... (Honestly I do not mind Bing)

Hey
BUG Folders bar (bookmarks) are outside of the browser window. http://imgur.com/B81iFrLThe same problem in a smaller window. In addition misses the mark "+"

cheers -
Because it's also the "big" search engines that would pay Vivaldi's bills to be integrated in the browser.

So finally RMB+Wheel is working as in old opera, as far as i tested it.
Strangely it works ok only if Show Tab Cycler is ticked, when its not ticked its broken as it was in previous snapshots.
I have no need for tab cycler, but i do not mind if its turn on, as long as RMB+Wheel is working properly.
Thx.For next bug-fix, i hope middle mouse click for new page is back.
