so many feed bugs squashed

Kocho

Vivaldi restarted with all workspaces after update, but without any tabs. After I closed and reopened it, the tabs reappeared, but it was a bit scary (for those with several workspaces and tabs, atleast :))

@kocho: Same happened here ...

4th will wait for the macOS build if one is made if not till next snapshot

Durtro

@Kocho same

luetage

@Kocho You gotta enable automatic session backup in the sessions panel, then these incidences are a little less scary.

My dashboard crashed and couldn't be opened

[New] Allow for Ad Attribution (VB-109764)

Oh I had to read on the blog post what that meant, nevermind

ALL extensions were removed after this update

BUT then I restarted the browser and they were back...

Thought maybe it was Chr132 killing all Mv2 extensions but I have mostly v3 ones.

I was happy too early

the error I described here is still here (new feed items are not shown within the feed but are downloaded from the client)

Thot

@chas4: Same here.

New mail shows up in my vivaldi.net Inbox folder, but not in Received messages, which I use by default to see messages to all accounts in one place.

Me too.

Please tell me why the browser still has a microphone icon on the taskbar, if Windows 11 and 10 have their own icon when using the microphone?

Interesting update.

A couple of things regarding the Dashboard

RE: semi-transparent background
I find the set value (35%) is too transparent and makes things hard to read for some themes. I'd like to see it set by UI theming like other panels use which has a max value of 25%(unless of course if there is a reason for this).

.Dashboard-Widgets .semi-transparent { background-color: var(--colorBgAlphaBlur); }

RE: Separator lines
I don't know if this is intentional or a bug, but the Feed-Seperator is a different colour from the Mail seperator. I can't find the values but it looks like one is using colorFg while the other is using colorAccentFg

@luetage: I do have the automatic session backup enabled, but when I clicked on it, it restored ONLY the pinned tabs - none of the unpinned ones - in all the Workspaces.

@jsosmd Automatic session backup saves the session when you close the browser. You can set it to save sessions between 1 and 30 days. It will preserve the latest saved session for each day. While I haven’t encountered this yet myself, it’s possible that the saved session itself was somehow corrupted. In this case load the session from one of the previous days. This feature serves two purposes: keeping your workspace setup intact and rescuing tab hoarders. However, it cannot preserve all your current and latest tabs when the browser crashes, it works from healthy backups. At least that’s how I understand it. You should be able to restore latest tabs from the closed tabs list, or history entries, should you run into more severe issues.

Saving a session manually, or saving vital tabs to a bookmarks folder, is a way to make sure you keep all your latest tabs. Personally I haven’t lost any tabs in years, Vivaldi usually successfully restores from the last session file. I still do automatic backups for the last 5 days.

Like with the previous snapshot since yesterday, still can't login to Twitch.tv.

@luetage, wouldn't this back up only the saved sessions and not the open tabs?
