Vivaldi 7.1: Widgets, Tabs, and sleek start to 2025
-
Is there a way to make Tabs bigger/larger like we have in Edge and Firefox? Not talking about zooming.

Adding new websites to your Speed Dial is now faster and more intuitive with the new Add Speed Dial dialog. This update streamlines the process, making it quicker than ever to organize your favorite sites on the Start Page.
Well, this ruined Speed Dial dialog for me. Made it worse with sponsored links bloatware. I would never add those sites to my Speed Dial!
I expect at least a drop-down button to hide Popular sponsored links, Categories and Visited links. Or option in settings to disable it.
I consider it user unti-feature.
Same with mobile version. -
The best just got bester!
Thank you, Vivaldi!
-
Still can't update since few updates ago, just "Unknown error", same when trying in safe mode, would not care to reinstall.

Before I fill a bug report, I want to say that there is a bug with the clock in the status bar: first, let me tell you that I show the seconds and only the clock when an alarm is set.
I noticed, after upgrading to 7.1, that the clock ends being “frozen” after some time (seconds are blocked). It’s still functioning (hours and minutes are updated), though, despite the seconds field stays at “:00”. I have to set a fake alarm or hide/show seconds again to make them working again (but only for some time before they are blocked again).
Other bug: the setting to hide alarms’ names is not working, and is always shown in the status bar, even if you don’t want it. Plus, when an alarm is done, it’s not listed anymore in a finished timers list: they are totally deleted.
All these bugs occur on Vivaldi Stable 7.1, as well on Windows as on Linux. The RC step seems to not have tested the clock among the possible regressions from 7.0, I guess…
-
I reported a bug in the snapshot process that is present the last few stable branches but haven't heard anything. I've gone ahead and filed a bug report
(VB-113268) Repeating events in calendar can't be deleted or modified
I find this to be a rather big issue for a marque feature, the calendar. This is regarding the local calendar

Paul Thurrott wrote "Open tabs. This new feature pulls in the open tabs from rival web browsers so you can switch to Vivaldi more easily." in his announcement of Vivaldi 7.1.
Where/how is that feature implemented? I don't see it in any menus.[edited to add:] NVM. I found it. It's under the File menu "Import from applications or files..."
-
@trit34 I already reported this regression for the Snapshots some time ago. I can confirm that it is broken in the Stable release.

@Pesala Thank you!
Another question: how can we disable the new pop-up “This link has been copied” when we do right click → Copy link address? We can click on it to remove it quickly, but if it could not be displayed at all, I’d appreciate it.
-
@Thot , I am glad you like it. I have 4 of them open. Means I can see the weather in Iceland, Norway and the US at the same time, as well as the time.
-
Don't care about any of the new stuff but fixing tab reordering is huge. Thank you!
-
I cannot see how to install the weather widget, no matter where or how I search for it.
-
@trigeek , click "add widget" at the bottom of your dashboard.
-
I see no "add widget" at the bottom. The best I can find is an "add web panel" on the left bar, but that seems to bring up my speed dial page.
-
@trigeek It's on the Dashboard.
You might have hidden the Start Page Navigation bar.
Use the Quick Settings button to turn it back on then choose Dashboard.Read the docs:

Got it thanks. That was not obvious to me but now I know. This is the best browser, in my opinion. Both Firefox and Chrome seem to have memory leaks and they are slower.
-
So where will the widget now appear? I don't see it. Should I restart the browser?

I removed that with some custom CSS:
/* Hide overlay info bubble */ .overlayinfobubble { display: none; }Howto:
https://forum.vivaldi.net/topic/10549/modding-vivaldiThey really need to add that as an option at some point, I don't see the point of such "helpful" hints for "security" or whatever reasons Chromium added it.

Did you read the docs and watch the tips video?

Watched the video, did everything it shows but cannot, for the life of me, see the widget on the top, left or bottom bar.
