A New Vivaldi – A Whole New Browsing Experience

@atlemo but i want no rounding at all and it still has all context menus rounded. I hate rounded corners it makes everything look like making stuff toddler-safe.

@Treap
Hi, did you set Compact Menu too?

Treap

@mib2berlin ah, yes, missed that one. thanks!

mib2berlin

@Treap
You can download the pre 7.0 themes on:
https://themes.vivaldi.net/categories/vivaldi-official
With both Compact settings enabled it should look exactly like 6.9.

Cheers, mib

Treap

@mib2berlin as You already mention it: Do You maybe know if there are any that look like early versions of Vivaldi?

DoctorG

@Treap Had you already sorted the Vivaldi Officials by Oldest?

mib2berlin

@DoctorG
I cant even remember the names.

@Stardust this curved trend never even came back, it should be left in 2010-2015 where it belongs.

@dogbreath look for compact in the settings

Yeah there are 20 threads about it because there isn't a simple way to go back.

EDIT: and you just spent many comments helping someone do it because it's multiple completely unrelated settings that either got added defaulting on or already existed and changed the defaults.

Agree, square tabs look so much better on mobile screenshot on the main Vivaldi page https://vivaldi.com

I updated one of my Vivaldi Stable installation and saw annoying popup related to Sync. I do not use Sync feature and I never enabled it. I would like to never see such a popups in the future. Not a big issue but a small annoyance.

I went to some mail site today and Vivaldi showed me popup something like "Try Vivaldi mail instead". Such annoying things are expected from Chrome or Edge but not from Vivaldi. I don't want to see such popups ever.

I also don't like the fact that Vivaldi knows the category of sites I am on

@Stardust So you believe Vivaldi actively tracks pages you are visiting to show you targeted ads for their own product.

Well, Vivaldi popup appeared at the same time I opened mail site.
Maybe site url, containing text like mail triggers it? Maybe someone from Vivaldi team can describe how it works exactly.

Not only me, there was already thread about it: https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/102536/turn-off-notifications-from-vivaldi

I just saw mail-related popup myself.

luetage

@Stardust You do realize that Vivaldi is earning nothing by providing the client and webmail.

I am talking about browser experience here. I see it as annoying user anti-feature that you can find in other browsers like Chrome and Edge.

I don't use Vivaldi webmail.

I guess a coincidence of visiting a site and Vivaldi self-advertising its Vivaldi Mail feature.

Vivaldi does not track usage of web pages.

I'm guessing the pop-up was for Vivaldi's built-in mail client, not the webmail...

But yeah, I'm also finding myself clicking away those things about dashboard and workspaces a lot whenever there's an update (updating a handful of machines with profiles for myself and my wife).

I reproduced it in Snapshot.

I disabled Mail, Calendar, Feed (I used only Feed in the past) and went to the mail site. And I saw the same popup:

Vivaldi clearly triggers popup on that mail site. I opened several other sites before I opened tab with mail site.

Vivaldi's built-in mail client or Vivaldi mail service - it doesn't matter to me, the problem is annoying popup.

@Stardust Unfortunately after update all my 2 Linux PCs and 6 Linux VMs got the nagging popup about Mail or other new features.

Same, I have several Vivaldi instances too. I wonder if it is one-time popup event for every Vivaldi feature or after some time it would reappear again. Not a fan of such New Browsing Experience
