The latest changes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3546.4

VIRUSpw

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?

Maybe you should put some ads on YouTube for Vivaldi, blocking, skipping ads for now works barely at best so that's that. Searching is less and less important this days, when you have everything in bookmarks, yes Vivaldi has become too good, that's the problem. I use Bing and than Google if needed.

@Erebos Considering that this snapshot is based on Chromium 132 (while 7.0 Stable and the previous snapshot are based on Chromium 130) , this must be caused by something else than the Chromium version (and like most web sites, Twitch is not allowed to see the Vivaldi UA or Branding, unless configured manually by the user).

I suggest you go through the troubleshooting steps to see if something, like extensions or a configuration might be causing the problem.

FYI, I was at least able to get the "login" dialog to open without problems, but that may not be when your problem occurs.

My guess: This is caused by something Twitch is doing, although something locally in your configuration may be what triggers it.

@Kocho It creates a backup of your current session when exiting Vivaldi.

Erebos

@yngve Thank you for your reply.
I changed the user agent from Chrome to Edge, and now it allowed me to login.

@Ruarí Oh, nothing in repo.vivaldi.com!

I guess you do not want users run a autoupdate by apt to reduce sessionloss? Good!

I had the same bug as others mentioned where on first start none of my tabs were restored.

Another problem I noticed – when I right-click a link and copy it, there's an obnoxious "Link copied" popup now showing, and it often doesn't go away at all, even if I close the tab (and it doesn't even show anywhere near the link I copied).

Pathduck

Custom CSS to hide the "overlay info bubble"

.overlayinfobubble {
	display: none;
}

I don't know why on earth Vivaldi absolutely has to copy every stupid dumbing-down idea from Chrome...

I guess if they don't some stupid will moan about "why Vivladi no has nice info bubgle like Chromz?"

Pesala

@Pathduck said in The latest changes – Vivaldi Browser snapshot 3546.4:

.overlayinfobubble {
display: none;
}

I think that is more likely that Vivaldi has to make an effort to remove it, and then provide an option to toggle it on or off.

@luetage good tips; thank you!
