Weather widget – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3527.3

@fred8615 is written into the widget footer... https://www.met.no/en

it seems that scrolling bar is unnecessary here: it scrolls content on just a couple of pixels

What company is providing the info for the weather widget?

Thank you x 100 for VB-111396!!
-
I wish VB-111664 was prioritized, it is super annoying at work
Thank you

@sardo Yes, the nasty yellow bar which does not close.

@DoctorG oh yes that one.
It is a real blocker for me at work. Days I work remotely or at work share my screen it takes some time to close tabs and reopen the pages again.
Even when I share my screen, some pages I cannot fully interact with, due to blocking top part
-
This reminder is really hostile
It wouldn't let me close the browser unless I clicked the copy button. Yes it doesn't appear at the next session but to prevent me from doing anything unless I "Copy and Share" is unbecoming behavior and something I would expect from Google and MS, not Vivaldi.
-
Scrollbar doesn't appear for me, perhaps it's sizing related to the font
Unfortunately I don't find the source provider to be very accurate for my location either

It seems to me that you are overreacting, especially if the ad did not appear again.
Somehow Vivaldi must ‘help’ himself to increase his users. Or not?
-
Forcing me to initiate an action in order for me to proceed is hostile behavior. Just because you only have to do it one time does not change that fact.

It seems to me that you are not being very condescending to Vivaldi who has given you an excellent browser since 2016 and for free………. and really free not like the others.

@barbudo2005
Expressing disappointment in browser behavior is part of the testing process and something we have all been doing to help improve it. Calling that condescending is rather ironic. Also I've donated to show my appreciation, so not exactly free either. But that's besides the point as is the fact that the browser is a vehicle for advertisers that are bundled with it (pre-installed Search Engines, bookmarks, the option in Ad-blocking to "Allow ads from our partners", etc.).People are already not happy with the prompting in the Stable discussion thread over the Mail and Calendar prompts. So clearly this approach is having a negative response. Negative reactions to browser behavior hurts it's growth.

@iAN-CooG And in London.
I just have a default window with the BBC Weather as the only tab. I work in the single workspace where I keep my mail tab. One could equally well add the Weather page as a Web Panel, and have the full details readily to hand without leaving the current workspace.
The dashboard is just “Creeping Sophistication,” in my opinion. It serves no useful function that did not exist before.
Web panels are always running in the background though. The web widgets on the Dashboard open and close with the Dashboard. I prefer that as I don't want to have memory always being used by background panels.

or decrease. I am not on the latest Snapshot version yet, but those popups are very annoying.
Moreover, I recommend Vivaldi over various social media and such popups do not encourage me to recommend Vivaldi more, probably less? -

I dunno...could actually cause a reverse streisand effect
While is nothing critical to me, the fact it "soft-locks" the browser and is not clearly dismiss-able ("maybe later..." or a close button) can be considered at least a very minor user experience bug.

You said it yourself, the only thing missing are these two exhaust options:
"maybe later..." or a close button.

In Spain I use in the Mobile the Official app from the Stag¡te Agency of Meterology (AEMET) (OpenData), because it0s the most accurate and the source of all other Weather apps, apart also the most private. It permits even to customize your own page with your specific weather forecast.
Same as this one, I think that the official agency of metereology in every country is the best and most accurate solution. -
@sjudenim You're right, but my system font is small enough, you see.
Can't make it even more smaller.
I hope that Vivaldi team will make a change in the widget layout: to squeeze gaps between the strings or make a different align for blocks, to eliminate scrolling (until the font is really large).
