@mikeyb2001 That's the second case I mentioned -- Let's all just keep everything the same for decades, make sure we cater to those users who like to do customizatios, but at the same time, hate doing customizations again. Definitely don't want them to move to chrome to customize chrome once and for all.

@Stardust, I like the UI of the SSuite Netsurf, maybe as inspiration for our geeks to create some mods
that screenshot looks like from 2000x

@Stardust The last time I had a UI that looked like that was in about 2005.

@Ayespy, it's because of the icons, somewhat Disney, but I refer to the concept of the Desktop it has.

They look like one of the old Opera icon sets (pre v12) to me...

I really find the new design gorgeous. What I don't find much use for is dashboards, really.
As I don't use mail, calendar or feed reader, there's not much left to pin there.
I tried to pin some websites as spiegel.de or https://www.die-bibel.de/bibel/BB/MAT.1/Matthäus-1 but they were unresponsive. I couldn't move or scroll the page not even click into it.
For me to have any fun with dashboard then, there must be some value in at least adding better website support as for example Google Calendar.
But otherwise I really like the "new" Vivaldi very much. -
And as coming over from Opera: Translations from Aria into German are much(!) better than those from Lingavex.

That's probably intentional considering the user base that originally jumped ship from Opera to Vivaldi

After a few days of distancing I've pulled the trigger and updated to 7.x.
All good here - theme, menu and icon customizations, tabs.... everything seems to have survived.
The browser is noticeably faster, especially in previously troublesome area of drag an dropping vertical tabs in windows with over 1.000 tabs.
Great work folks!
EDIT: First random crash within 15 minutes. Well, it was nice while it lasted

@RadekPilich I don't get what people are doing to get random crashes. In multiple versions on multiple machines, I just can't reproduce that. It doesn't happen. There have to be local differences in setup or behavior that can cause this.

I was clicking my "next workspace" toolbar button several times in row.

@RadekPilich How many workspaces do you run?

@Leuchte812, Newspapers and magazines are best added as Feed. Although you do not use the email client and Vivaldi Calendar, you can activate them and hide the corresponding icons, leaving only the Feed Reader. This in the Dashboard updates the latest headlines at an interval that you can configure, e.g. every day.

@RadekPilich Keeriminy. I once had two workspaces. I can't imagine how I could possibly make use of 20 of them. But I will make 20 of them in one of my instances, and see if I can reproduce your crash. About how many tabs do you have in each workspace?
-
@RadekPilich
I guess this was a OOM (Out of Memory) crash, Vivaldi kind of reload all tabs in a workspace if you change.
Some users report slowdown of changing workspaces.
The developer working on a fix fix some other issues in the workspace code too.
I hope we get it in one of the next 7.0 updates.Cheers, mib

@RadekPilich So I tried to open 20 workspaces with 3-20 (average of about 10) tabs apiece. I got to 16 workspaces before everything was just freezing up so bad, I had to stop. It simply consumed more resources than my pretty powerful laptop could easily provide. This is an Intel i7 with 8GB DDR4 RAM, and 16 workspaces was just too much. I suspect the solution would be to hibernate any workspace you're not in. Jumping from workspace to workspace makes Vivaldi try to keep them all open. And running 20 workspaces would be keeping hundreds of tabs open all the time. I could not produce a crash, but I could for sure produce a freeze.

@Ayespy My guess: Your machine started swapping to disk, which can slow down performance to a crawl at the best of times.

@jon My first post shouldn't be about spiting the browser I love... but it is. The new design NEEDS a way to go back.
